Question

What paper stocks can I choose for product labels?

Answer

Product labels can be printed on a broad range of stocks, and each is suited to a different environment. Matching the stock to how and where the product is used is the key to a label that lasts.

StockBest for
GlossyRetail shelf products that need vivid color
MatteClean, modern, low-glare branding
KraftArtisan and natural goods
Clear filmA no-label look on glass and plastic
WaterproofBeverages and anything exposed to moisture

Think about storage first: waterproof for chilled or wet conditions, kraft for artisan goods, and glossy for maximum shelf impact.

Metallic stock is also available for a foil-like sheen.
