Paper Labels – More Affordable, Different Aesthetics

Film substrates are the more costly of the two choices. When its durability is factored into the cost-benefit analysis, the additional cost is negligible. Let’s look at the characteristics and properties of paper labels now. Paper labels provide higher image quality and clarity than film labels due to the natural texture of the paper. The ink adheres to the paper more easily, resulting in greater detail in the printed picture, as well as sharper and more resounding clarity. Paper labels are generally white, but they are also available in a variety of bright and colourful hues. Changing the colour of the paper provides additional aesthetic aspects and allows for artistic expression as well as eye-catching design. There are variants of paper material such as brown kraft or textured wine label paper that can grant the label a rustic look. 

Film Labels – Greater Flexibility And Durability

This type of film has a lot of flexibility and is long-lasting. Film labels are flexible, allowing them to adjust to the contour of your product container. This method is excellent for bottles or containers with odd shapes. Furthermore, film labels are available in a variety of metallic and transparent finishes to give labels a clear or metallic sheen. These features may aid in creating a distinctive design for your labels, such as a no-label, see-through appearance. When we talk of durability, we don’t just mean its capacity to withstand wear and tear. Extreme heat and cold, as well as water and oil, are all situations that this material can withstand.

What Exactly Is Label Facestock?

The facestock is where all labels, whether paper or film, begin. Facestock is the basic material on which the label’s inking, gloss, and other texture, as well as its adhesive, are applied. The top coat, of course, is the label’s top, which is the section of the label that is visible when applied. The adhesive is applied to the rear, or bottom, of the label. The liner is affixed to the rear of the adhesive.  Label stock is available in large master rolls, and the substrate is indeed the mix of facestock, adhesive, and liner.
