A classic, cost-effective substrate for everyday packaging

Custom Paper Labels

Paper is the most widely used label substrate: it prints sharply, takes a range of finishes, and suits products that stay in relatively dry environments.

We print paper labels on coated stocks with matte or gloss finishes, and can laminate them for extra surface protection. Paper labels are a cost-effective choice for food jars, cosmetic bottles, boxes and general product packaging.

Plain paper absorbs moisture. For chilled, wet or condensation-prone environments, we recommend a film material or a laminated paper — confirm with a sample test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is paper label suitable for all packaging?

Paper is a great all-round substrate, but it is not the best choice where the label will face prolonged moisture or condensation. For those cases we recommend film materials or laminated paper.

Can paper labels be laminated?

Yes. Gloss or matte lamination adds surface protection and changes the look. This is a common way to improve durability while keeping the paper feel.

What finishes work well on paper labels?

Matte and gloss coatings, lamination, spot UV and hot foil stamping all work on coated paper. The choice depends on the brand look you want to achieve.
