Question

What paper finishes are available for bottle labels?

Answer

Bottle labels come in several finishes, and the best choice depends on the look you want and whether the bottle will get wet or chilled. The main paper finishes range from flat matte to high shine, plus synthetic options for moisture resistance.

For bottles that sit in ice, coolers, or the fridge, a vinyl or laminated stock will outlast plain paper. Request samples of the finishes so you can compare them on your actual bottle before ordering.
