Talent and technique combined for endless possibilities

Our guidebook contains over twenty examples of materials, print, and finishing techniques, combined to create labels for various applications. We hope these samples provide inspiration and clarity for executing your next project. If you would like any of these samples sent to you, please contact us today!

Film Labels

Film labels are the durable, waterproof choice built for anything wet, cold, or handled a lot (think coolers, ice buckets, squeeze bottles, and the freezer aisle). Our BOPP films come in white, clear, and metallic, with gloss, matte, and soft touch finishes so you can match the look to the feel.

BOPP Labels

BOPP is a plastic film that makes your label waterproof and tough, which is why it is the default for anything that gets wet or cold. It holds up to ice, condensation, and rough handling, so it is the go-to for beer cans, bottles, squeeze tubes, and bath-and-body products.

White MDO Labels

White MDO is a durable white film that is tear-resistant and conforms well to curves and squeezable containers. It holds up to moisture and handling, which makes it a solid choice for squeeze bottles, health and beauty products, and household goods that need a tough, bright white label.

Paper Labels

Paper labels give you a natural, tactile feel that works well for wine, spirits, and any brand going for a classic or craft look. Options range from smooth semi-gloss to textured felt and kraft, including wet-strength stocks that hold up to condensation (so a chilled bottle in an ice bucket won’t leave you with a peeling label).

Specialty Labels

Specialty materials are for labels that need to do something extra, from holographic film and metallic stocks to glitter effects and double hot foil. They’re worth exploring when you want a design that catches the eye, and there are eco-friendly options here too, like compostable vellum, if sustainability is part of your brand.

Holographic Film Labels

Holographic film shifts color and catches light as the product moves, giving a label a rainbow-like shimmer that flat stocks can't match. Brands reach for it on limited releases, seasonal drops, and flagship SKUs that need to grab attention across the aisle.

Bright Silver Metalized Paper Labels

Bright silver metallized paper offers a reflective, mirror-like surface that gives printed colors a bright, eye-catching sheen. Brands use it when they want a label to feel polished and a little flashy, often for beverages, beauty, and products that need shelf presence.

Brushed Platinum Labels

Brushed Platinum labels have a soft metallic surface with a fine brushed texture, so it shimmers without the full mirror shine of a bright silver. It gives a label a modern, premium feel and works well for spirits, beauty, and tech-forward products that want a sleek, understated metallic look.

Metallic Paper Labels

Metallic paper has a built-in shimmer that lets printed inks sit over a reflective base, so colors take on a richer, more luminous tone. It's a versatile way to add a premium feel and is commonly used for beverages, beauty, and specialty packaging where you want a hint of shine.

Shrink Sleeves

Shrink sleeves are printed films that wrap the full container and shrink tight with heat, giving you 360 degrees of coverage and the freedom to print over the entire surface. They are ideal for contoured cans and bottles, full-body designs, and products that want graphics with no label edges or gaps.
