Question

Are the stickers and labels waterproof?

Answer

Stickers and labels can be made waterproof, but it comes down to the stock and finish you choose. A laminate or a water-resistant film is what lets a label shrug off moisture, condensation, and handling.

  • Add a laminate or choose a vinyl/film stock to make labels waterproof.
  • Uncoated paper labels are not waterproof on their own.
  • Waterproof options are ideal for bottles, coolers, outdoor use, and anything that gets wet.

Vinyl stocks, such as White Vinyl on die-cut and vinyl stickers, hold up to water and outdoor use. Paper label stocks are not waterproof on their own.
