The workhorse film label of modern packaging: waterproof, oil-proof and tear-resistant, in white, crystal-clear and metallic finishes.
Waterproof & oil-proof · White · Clear · Metallised · Food-contact safe grades. Manufacturer-direct pricing from short digital runs to multi-million flexo volumes.
BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is the film that replaced paper wherever labels meet real life - moisture, oil, handling and refrigeration. We print BOPP labels in three finishes: white for vivid full-colour branding, clear for the no-label look, and metallised for a built-in silver/gold shine.
From edible-oil bottles to shampoo packs, floor cleaners to pickle jars, BOPP delivers a premium plastic-film label at a price that works even for value brands - in runs from a few thousand to many millions. Need serialised barcodes, batch codes or unique QR on the same label? Pair BOPP with our variable data printing.
Beverage and packaged water ranges printed in white and clear film - see the metallised finish on the craft brewery labels above.
White film for vivid full-colour branding, clear film for the premium no-label look - both waterproof, so soaking in a chiller never lifts a corner.
Opaque white BOPP holds colour density on both clear and coloured bottles, and resists the scuffing of filling lines and transit.

Paper labels absorb moisture, tear and scuff; BOPP is a plastic film that's waterproof, oil-proof and tear-resistant. For any product that meets moisture - bathrooms, kitchens, fridges, outdoors - BOPP outperforms paper for a modest cost difference.
White for maximum colour vibrancy and opacity; clear for the premium no-label look on glass/PET; metallised when you want a metallic base shine without foil stamping costs. We can send samples of all three.
Yes - we offer food-contact compliant BOPP and adhesive combinations suitable for direct food packaging environments. Tell us your application and we'll specify the compliant construction.
Standard BOPP handles fridge conditions; for deep-freeze we pair BOPP or PET faces with freezer-grade adhesives rated to -40°C. Ask us to specify the right construction for your product.
We run BOPP from short digital runs (thousands) to multi-million flexo volumes - the same artwork scales as you grow.
BOPP offers the best price-to-durability ratio of any film label. Cost depends on finish (white, clear or metallised), label size, colours and volume - as the manufacturer we quote directly, and bulk FMCG volumes bring the unit price down sharply. Send your spec for a firm price within 24-48 hours.
