Oil & Water Resistant
BOPP, or biaxially-oriented polypropylene, is the most commonly selected label material at Lightning Labels. Its popularity stems from its robust resistance to water, oil, scratches, and extreme temperatures, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of products. BOPP comes in several varieties, each bringing unique benefits to your product presentation:
Varieties
White BOPP
Offers a crisp, clean backdrop for your design, ideal for a straightforward look.
Clear BOPP
Perfect for showcasing your product with a see-through label.
Chrome BOPP
Adds a metallic finish to elevate your brand.
Gold BOPP
Provides a luxurious sheen for an upscale aesthetic.
Lip Balm Label Material
Utilizes a strong adhesive for a lasting hold on small cylindrical products.
Rainbow Holographic
Infuses a dazzling 3D effect that changes with light and perspective.
Water and Oil Resistant vs. Waterproof
While our BOPP labels excel in resisting daily exposure to water and oils, it's essential to understand that they are not waterproof. 'Waterproof' implies the ability to withstand prolonged submersion, a condition our labels are not designed for. For products requiring this level of durability, we encourage you to test the labels or speak with our experts for guidance. Our goal is to ensure your labels maintain their integrity and continue to support your brand's image in the environment they're intended for.
Consult With Us for Tailored Solutions
Every product is unique, and so are the conditions it faces. We invite you to consult with our team to determine the best material for your needs or to request a sample pack for testing. At Lightning Labels, we are dedicated to helping you find the perfect labeling solution to match your product's demands.
