Understanding Waterproof Labels
Polypropylene self-adhesive labels designed to remain intact and legible in wet, humid, or outdoor environments. Unlike paper labels, polypropylene resists moisture, tearing, and fading, making waterproof stickers and labels a reliable choice for products stored in refrigerated, outdoor, or industrial conditions.
Materials and Print Methods
Our waterproof labels are manufactured on gloss polypropylene, a synthetic material that resists water, oil, and general handling. Thermal transfer printing produces the most durable result on polypropylene, using a ribbon to bond ink to the label surface. For best results, use alongside a compatible thermal transfer ribbon and thermal transfer printer.
Sizes Available
Our waterproof label range covers circular formats from 20mm to 40mm diameter, plus rectangular options in 25x25mm, 50x25mm, and 50x50mm. Circular waterproof labels are available in both standard and perforated formats, with the perforated option suited to applications requiring easy separation.
Applications and Industries
Waterproof labels are widely used in food and beverage for refrigerated and bottled products, cosmetics for shampoo and lotion containers, and industrial environments for equipment tags and chemical containers. They adhere well to curved surfaces including bottles and jars, resisting condensation throughout the product's shelf life.
