Oil Labels

Oil Labels – The Requirements

A label’s main purposes:

• information
• decoration
• promotion

While a product’s design is an important feature, above all else, it should give customers information about ingredients, quantity of contents and the manufacturer.

Labels for oils must meet special requirements: labels in the chemical, cosmetics, or food industry must be particularly oil-, dirt- and temperature-resistant. Even in an oily, dirty environment, the information on the label must still be clearly legible after some time without looking worn.
That is why we recommend using vinyl labels for oils, vinegar, cosmetics and chemical products. In contrast to paper labels, they are more resistant and can be easily wiped off without leaving oil stains or dirt on the labels.

Suitable Materials for Oil Labels

We offer a wide range of materials for printing your oil labels on. It is important to us to meet our customers’ needs. That’s why we stock textured papers, films and various sustainable materials. Though we recommend film labels for these applications, our premium paper in matt white is also available as an oil-repellent version and is therefore ideal for use with oil labels.

Do you need a specific material? In addition to our more than 15 standard materials, we have many other special materials in stock or can provide them on request. You can get an initial overview of our material selection, finishing options and printing quality with our free sample book. You can simply peel off the pre-cut sample labels and stick them on your product as a test. This way, you can find out which material is particularly suitable – or not at all – for your business and application. If you have not found the right material in our calculator or in our material overview, please contact us. We can order specific materials for you on request.

Finishing Options for Oil Labels

Both our film labels and our premium paper are ideal for additional finishing. As an example, you could choose to highlight certain elements with a hot foil. It gives your oil labels a particularly elegant look, setting you apart from the competition. To give your labels an additional layer of protection, we always suggest applying protective varnish. However, the best way to protect your labels is dirt- and moisture-repellent film lamination. It protects your labels from excessive abrasion, protects them from moisture and gives your product an even more individual design.
