Inkjet Roll Label Materials

Here is a list of material we offer on most of our inkjet roll labels along with the definition of each. Since most of these materials are white with the only differentiation being varying degrees of glossiness, it is very difficult to show pictures accurately. Since most people are not familiar with the technical terms used in the label business, we will define these materials in the simplest possible way. All label materials have a permanent adhesive.

White Uncoated:
White Uncoated is best described as your everyday printing paper. It has a porous smooth white surface with no shine to it at all.

White Premium Matte:
This premium matte label material is designed to be compatible with most desktop roll to roll ink jet printers. Prints excellent photo images, color graphics, and sharp text. It has good water fastness and wet-rub characteristics.

White Semi-Gloss:
Our White Semi-Gloss material is designed for those that want a glossy look at a lower cost than the High Gloss product. Our Semi-Gloss material has a softer whiteness and less of a shine than our high gloss product. Print will be somewhat smear-resistant but not to the extent of our high gloss.

White ViVidGloss:
Our whitest and shiniest material, ViVidGloss's coating is made for high dpi and photo printing. Like our ViVidMatte, ViVidGloss holds the ink pattern of each individual dot of color, creating a superior image. ViVidGloss is extremely water-resistant but it is a paper material. If you are looking to label a product you sell, this would be a perfect choice.

Brown Kraft:
Brown Kraft material has a rustic and aged look to it and is best described as a slightly darker version of a paper grocery bag. This material prints really well but the darkness of the paper may cause some light colors to become harder to see. Brown Kraft is a great material for label handcrafted material that you want to give a rustic primitive look to.

White Matte Poly:
White PolyGloss is our 2 mil white BOPP film with a matte finish that locks down inks. Matte Poly is a water-resistant label with a photo quality printing, permanent adhesive and can get wet without smearing. While no label is smear or waterproof unless laminated or varnished but our Matte Poly is the next best thing.

White PolyGloss:
White PolyGloss is our 2 mil white BOPP film with a glossy finish that locks down dye based inks. PolyGloss is our shiniest and most water-resistant label. It has photo quality printing, freezer grade adhesive and can get wet without smearing. While no label is smear or waterproof unless laminated or varnished, our PolyGloss is the next best thing.
