What Are Polypropylene Labels?
Polypropylene is a synthetic plastic material widely recognised for its excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. When used in label production, it offers a waterproof, tear-resistant, and heat-resistant solution that maintains its integrity even in demanding environments.
Polypropylene labels are:
Waterproof and resistant to oils and chemicals
Heat-resistant (up to 180°C / 356°F)
UV-stabilised for up to 5 years of outdoor use
Recyclable and food-safe
Flexible enough to wrap around curved surfaces
Glossy or matte in finish for a premium look
Whether you're packaging cosmetics, beverages, or cleaning products, polypropylene ensures your label remains intact and legible throughout the product's life cycle.
Why Polypropylene Labels Are a Smart Choice

✅ Food Safe & Compliant
Ideal for labelling food and beverage packaging thanks to its hygienic properties and moisture resistance.

We use the Colour-Logic System™—a state-of-the-art colour communication technology that ensures colour accuracy across all printing devices and substrates. It also enables enhanced metallic finishes, gradients, and embellishments that bring your labels to life with a premium, professional look.
