|---|---|---|---|
| Gloss | High | High | Low |
| Satin | Medium | Medium | Low |
| Matt | Low | Low | Medium |
| Rough Touch | Medium | High | Low |
- Paper Substrates:
| Coating Type | Gloss Level | Scuff Resistance | Writability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloss | High | High | Low |
| Satin | Medium | High | Medium |

Top Tips:
- Confirm Your Application Method:
If using a label applicator, confirm the orientation and core size required. Manual application? Focus more on label size and adhesive strength. - Match Material to Purpose:
For food & drink packaging, use waterproof polypropylene. For retail pricing or promotional stickers, gloss or matt paper is cost-effective. - Clarify Adhesive Needs:
For items going into refrigeration or moisture-prone environments, request freezer-grade or waterproof adhesive options. - Artwork Setup:
Ideally supply your artwork as a print-ready PDF one up, using high-resolution images no less than 300dpi and embedded fonts. - Read our Blog on how to Boost your Business with Promotional Products.
