types of labels we offer

pressure-sensitive labels

Pressure-sensitive labels apply using an adhesive backing and require no heat or solvent. They’re commonly used on bottles, cans, jars, and retail packaging where reliable adhesion and clean presentation are essential.

thermal transfer labels

Thermal transfer labels use heat to transfer ink from a ribbon onto the label surface, creating sharp, long-lasting print. They’re often used where durability and legibility are critical.

polypropylene Labels

Polypropylene labels are flexible and water-resistant, making them a popular choice for packaging that may experience condensation or moisture.

polyester labels

Polyester labels are highly durable and resistant to tearing, abrasion, and temperature changes. They’re designed for situations where label performance is critical throughout the supply chain.

vinyl labels

Vinyl labels offer strong durability and flexibility, holding up well in demanding conditions where standard materials may fail.
