What's the difference between roll labels and paper labels?
Paper labels and standard labels each have their strengths, depending on how you plan to use them. Paper labels are a more sustainable option, made from FSC-certified post-consumer waste, and are great for indoor, short-term use. Standard labels, on the other hand, are made from a durable BOPP material that's waterproof, oil-resistant, and designed to handle tougher conditions.
Whether you're going for eco-friendly or extra tough, we've got a label that fits the bill.
