BOPP labels

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) labels for food, beverage, cleaning and cosmetic packaging. They resist water, refrigeration and rubbing and conform to cylindrical and squeezable containers.

Application

White BOPP gives intense color and opacity; clear BOPP achieves the no-label look on glass and PET, with white backing ink where the design needs it; silver metallized BOPP keeps the shine on unprinted areas for premium finishes.

It is printed by flexography with Pantone spot colors or CMYK process, and digitally for short runs and versions. With gloss or matte lamination the label resists ice buckets, oils and abrasion.

Typical uses

Juice, water and soft drink PET bottles
Beer and beverages in glass
Cleaners in squeezable bottles
Cosmetic jars and bottles
Refrigerated preserves and salsas
Premium metallized packaging
