Paper or foil, glossy or matt? Our materials are as individual as your products. Are you looking for something very specific, a special material, or perhaps you have always used one and the same material and don’t want to change it? No problem, because in addition to our standard materials we also have many other papers and films in our portfolio. If you have any special requests, please contact our customer service department. On this materials page you can see all the papers and foils, which you can also find in the calculator and order directly online.
Our material recommendations are based on our previous experience with the individual materials. In all cases, we recommend testing the labels to ensure that they meet the requirements of your application. All materials come with a permanent adhesive as standard. It is also possible to order our materials with removable or deep-freeze adhesive. If this is the case, please contact our customer service department directly and they will be happy to provide you with an individual quote. You can contact us by phone on 0044(0) 2035881080 or by email at info@label.co.uk.

Our standard materials:
The mirror-like high-gloss paper is particularly suitable for coloured labels and for labelling returnable bottles/glasses. High-gloss white is available in self-adhesive and wet glue versions. The paper is cast coated and wood free
Labels made of this material are usually combined with a general purpose permanent, rubber based adhesive. This adhesive has some specific features. It is best applied at a temperature of at least 0°C. After application the label will withstand temperatures of -40°C to 70°C. The adhesive was developed especially for outdoor and cold environments. Further, it is particularly suitable for labelling damp surfaces or applications that demand high initial adhesive qualities. After a successful labelling process the adhesive has a good resistance to low temperatures. Especially on non-polar surfaces its adhesive force is displayed.
At a temperature of 20º-25ºC and an average humidity of 40-50% the labelled products can be stored for up to a year after the production date. Higher temperatures and/or humidity percentage affect the material’s shelf life.
The alternative to the high-gloss material is characterised by a matt surface, which gives the label a high quality. Suitable for high-quality, multi-coloured printed labels and for labels with the highest thermal transfer printing requirements. Matt white is only available as self-adhesive. Please note that this material can peel off of very small containers due to its high grammage.
