Film-based labels designed for wet, chilled and outdoor use

Custom Waterproof Labels

Waterproof labels are built from film substrates — such as BOPP or clear film — with water-resistant inks and adhesives, so they keep their shape and legibility when exposed to moisture.

We manufacture waterproof label constructions for shampoo bottles, beverage packaging, chilled foods and products used outdoors. Because “waterproof” means different things in different conditions, we confirm the right construction for your exposure and test it with a sample.

Frequently Asked Questions

How waterproof is a waterproof label?

It depends on the film, adhesive and coating chosen, plus the exposure — splashes, wiping, or full submersion. We select the construction for your conditions and recommend a sample test before production.

Can waterproof labels be printed in full color?

Yes. Waterproof film labels support full-color printing, white ink layers and lamination, giving the same design freedom as standard labels.

Are waterproof labels the same as vinyl labels?

No. Most of our waterproof constructions use polypropylene film (BOPP) rather than vinyl. Film labels are thinner, more flexible and easier to recycle, while vinyl is used mainly for special high-elongation applications.
