Customizing labels as per your business requirement is a smart choice, especially when you are looking to target specific audience with specific items. Custom labels create a distinction of their own, and significantly adds to the brand value without tinkering the base.  However, it’s important to take note whether you are using the right material for the desired purpose. You can find everything from aesthetically appealing to budget class materials that can be put to different applications. Here’s a rundown of a few materials you can opt for when it comes to printing custom labels, depending upon the requirement.

Clear Film

It is a transparent material which is water resistant and semi-conformable. It can be used for providing a label design that exhibits transparency into a product, basically in glass or plastic containers. Many companies use this as a measure to give a label-free look to the product.

Metallic Paper

Paper coated with metallic touch of silver and gold can be tinted to other colors as well.  This material has acrylic top-coating which makes printing easier on custom labels. Given its strength and longevity, metallic papers are commonly employed in indoor use items.

White Semi-Gloss Paper

Not very flashy and not very dull, white semi-gloss paper is ideal for someone who is looking for a balance of performance and savings.  It is a lightweight material with an enhanced brightness and surface shine that is just enough to give the label design a polished look, at a little cost.

White Polypropylene

Also known as the indoor white film, this material has high strength, immaculate aesthetics and exceptional printability. It is more long-lasting than a semi-gloss paper and can be used for rigid or semi-rigid containers.

Brushed Chrome/Silver Polyester

An inflexible and rigid film made of high quality silver polyester is resistant against the variation in temperatures and it can withstand harsh conditions. This material can be used in items that are subjected to rough handling right from production to transportation. A tint of color may be added to enhance visual appeal.

Outdoor White Vinyl Film

Offering excellent tear strength and sturdiness, this high-capacity material of white vinyl film is perfect for outdoor use or industrial purposes. Given its opacity, water resistance and dimensional stability, it is an excellent choice if you are looking for something extremely hard-wearing.

Squeezable White Film

Also known as solid white polyolefin, squeezable white film is an elastic material with excellent stability and potency. It has the ability to bend its dimension as per the handling, and is highly recommended when printing label designs for squeezable containers or mini bottles.
