Additional Materials:

Premium Matt White 90g

Robust, stable premium material, which is particularly suitable for high-quality spirits and food. Due to the material thickness, premium paper matt and cotton paper are only partially suitable for use on small, very curved surfaces. In this case, we recommend our matte standard material.

Cotton White 100g

The paper is made of 100% cotton and impresses with its high-quality, velvety, silk surface. The material has a very high-quality, filigree paper structure. This premium material is also great for spirits and premium food products.

White PP Film (Matt/Gloss) 60 µm

The absolute standard material when film is required. Strong adhesion, brilliant shine, easy processing and strong protection for your product are the advantages of the white film. For product labels where resistance to external influences is important, e.g. for drinks and cosmetics.

Grasspaper Labels

The new grass paper consists of 30% sun-dried grass fibre (hay) and 70% FSC-certified paper. The label is FSC-mix certified.  Grass paper is made from the rapidly renewable raw material grass, thus reducing the consumption of wood and making it particularly sustainable.

Additional Adhesives

All of our self-adhesive label materials feature a permanent adhesive as standard. In addition to this we also offer peelable, freezer grade and opaque adhesives on selected materials.

Carrying Materials

The standard materials which we offer predominantly feature a glassine paper carrying material. Where you or your contract filling partner require a PET carrying band, please get in touch with our customer service team.
