Self-Adhesive Label Materials

Choose the face material of your self-adhesive label, then match the adhesive and release liner to the container and application process. Xinxing Label prints and finishes paper and film labels; this page helps you compare the material routes.

Brown kraft paper labels in die-cut shapes and rolls — **Kraft paper.** Blank, die-cut labels in decorative shapes. For dry packaging such as gift boxes and jars; printing and adhesive are selected for the application.

Blank white coated paper labels supplied on a roll — **Coated paper.** Blank roll labels for subsequent printing. For cartons, dry-goods packaging and information labels.

Unprinted silver PET label stock on a roll — **Silver PET.** Unprinted roll stock for printing and converting. For identification labels and metallic-look designs; adhesive and service requirements are specified separately.

Compare Label Materials

Material	Selection focus
Coated paper	Paper appearance for many dry packaging applications; review any moisture or contents contact.
Kraft paper	Natural paper appearance; approve colour on the actual stock.
BOPP	White, clear and metallized polypropylene-film options.
Synthetic paper	Paper-like film constructions; specify the actual grade and surface rather than treating all white film as identical.
PET	Polyester constructions for selected identification and durability requirements.
Polyimide	Specialised constructions for selected demanding temperature or process applications.
Metallized film	A metallic face appearance; identify the underlying film and white-ink areas.
Thermal and thermal transfer	Materials selected for the printer technology, image life and use conditions.

PE and Other Specified Constructions

PE can be considered for flexible or squeezable containers. If your project requires a particular supplier construction or a material not listed here, send the specification so availability and production suitability can be reviewed.

BOPP and Synthetic Paper: Specify the Grade

BOPP describes the film family. Synthetic paper describes paper-like materials that can include different polymer constructions and surfaces. Use the supplier grade, thickness and finish to distinguish the proposed stocks; two different trade descriptions may not identify two different materials.

Adhesive and Release Liner

Permanent attachment, removability, repeated opening and low-temperature use require different selection criteria. Include the container surface and temperature during application as well as later service conditions. The release liner must also suit die-cutting, printing and the applicator.

Choose Appearance and Performance Separately

A metallic appearance does not establish chemical resistance, and a paper-like surface does not establish writability. Confirm the complete construction and intended use. Browse performance requirements and finishes and effects alongside the material choice.
