What Are Polypropylene Labels?
Polypropylene labels are ideal if you’re seeking long-lasting durability and water or weatherproof properties. They are tear-resistant and come with a huge range of finishes, while also being suitable for use on the outside of edible product packaging.
Advantages of Using Polypropylene Labels
The advantages of using polypropylene labels are numerous, but their main benefit is their durability. Perfect for products that are going to be stored outside or in generally less-than-ideal conditions, as polypropylene boasts weatherproof, UV and water-resistant features.
As well as this, polypropylene is also suitable for items that are going to be regularly handled, or items containing liquids where there’a a possibility of the label being exposed to the contents.
The highly versatile labels are also ideal for food-based products, as the material, ink and adhesive used to make them are safe for outer packaging.
Applications of Polypropylene Labels
The application of polypropylene labels is quick and effortless, thanks to the hard-wearing material minimising the risk of any tears occurring during placement. Perfect for either hand or mechanical application, as our labels can be ordered on rolls, sheets or individually cut.
Different Types of Polypropylene Labels
When it comes to the different types of polypropylene labels, you can choose from shiny gloss, silky matt, transparent clear and multi-colour metallic finishes.
Whichever finish you opt for adds an even sturdier layer to your labels, while also offering an eye-catching appearance that is hard to ignore. As for the size, shape and design of your labels, it is entirely up to you

Label Designs and Finishes
For the best print result in terms of resolution and sharpness, we recommend the following artwork specifications:
Artwork Specs:
- Files: Flattened PDF or JPEG (recommended) or EPS, AI, PSD
- Resolution: 300dpi
- Bleed: 3mm
- Safe Area: 3mm
- Colour: CMYK
If you’re not sure about these, no need to worry. With our Artwork Check Guarantee that comes as standard, we’ll manually check your design before printing and inform you of any issues. We can normally fix these for you free of charge as well before sending a proof for approval.
Alternatively, our in-house graphics team can create a bespoke design for your label order. Simply choose this during checkout and then enter your instructions for the designers to follow. We’ll then request approval before we print.
