Question

What paper stocks can I choose for waterproof labels?

Answer

Waterproof labels rely on synthetic materials rather than ordinary paper, so they hold up to direct water, condensation, and humidity without wrinkling or falling off.

  • BOPP film: A tough, flexible plastic stock that shrugs off water and oils.
  • Vinyl: Durable and conformable for curved or high-wear surfaces.
  • Synthetic coated stocks: Moisture-resistant materials for general wet-environment use.
  • Clear films: A transparent, no-label look that still resists water.

Each stock is paired with a waterproof adhesive so the bond survives the same conditions as the face material. Check the specs for your product to see the full material list.
