The material you choose for your labels is extremely important, especially for items that will be in various environments. But you also want to select the best label material to showcase the look and feel of your brand. We&#8217;ve put together five types of labels to get the look you want for your products and your brand image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the label materials below are available through<a href=\"\/\"> Avery<\/a>. You can have them <a href=\"\/custom-printing\/\">professionally printed by WePrint<\/a>, or print them with our <a href=\"\/blank\/\">blank labels<\/a> or <a href=\"\/products\/labels\/usage\/all-labels\">in-store label packs<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-keep-it-classic\">1. Keep it classic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/materials-mattewhite\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-5labelmaterials-img1-white\" alt=\"Standard white labels give products a classic look\n\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/category\/material\/white-labels\">Standard white paper labels <\/a>can provide you with a versatile and inexpensive way to label your products. They give you a clean, white background that ensures your product information and branding stand out. They&#8217;re great for a wide range of products, from cosmetics and food items to electronics and household goods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing between <a href=\"\/blog\/matte-vs-glossy-finishes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">matte and glossy white labels<\/a>, you need to base your decision on the visual impact and the desired look you want to achieve. Matte labels offer a subdued, elegant finish that reduces glare. The matte surface is also easier to write on with pens or markers, which is ideal for adding information or batch numbers directly onto the label. Matte labels are also less prone to fingerprints and smudges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, glossy white labels will give your product labels a vibrant sheen that enhances color contrast and makes designs appear more vivid. Glossy labels are typically more moisture-resistant and can withstand handling better than matte labels, making them a good option for products that may encounter different environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While paper labels are generally more affordable than synthetic materials, especially when labeling large quantities of products, they don&#8217;t hold up as well and are prone to peeling, wrinkling, abrasions and fading over time. If you need a more durable label or special finish, one of the options below might be a better fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-make-your-labels-pop\">2. Make your labels pop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized wp-post-545 wp-image-517\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-5labelmaterials-img2-metallic\" alt=\"Metallic labels will give your products shine\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:225px;height:225px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing <a href=\"\/category\/material\/metallic-and-foil-labels\">metallic labels <\/a>for your products can significantly enhance their appeal and brand perception. Metallic and holographic labels offer a premium, sophisticated look that grabs attention and communicates quality to consumers. Whether you&#8217;re selling luxury goods, artisanal products, or cosmetics, metallic labels add a touch of elegance and exclusivity that can elevate your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reflective surface catches light and shimmers, making your products stand out on retail shelves. They are also highly customizable, allowing you to add vibrant colors, intricate designs, and detailed text. Even better, they are durable and resistant to moisture, making them suitable for products that may be in tough environments. Whether you choose silver, gold, or other metallic finishes, these labels not only enhance the visual appeal of your products but also reinforce a sense of luxury and professionalism that can leave a lasting impression on your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-take-a-dip\">3.

With waterproof materials, your labels will stay adhered and legible, so you know your important information such as product details, instructions, and branding elements remain intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Avery waterproof labels often come with strong adhesive properties that ensure they stay securely attached to various surfaces, including plastic, glass, and metal. Like metallic labels, they can be customized your way in a variety of finished. Whether you&#8217;re labeling cosmetics, foods, or outdoor gear, waterproof labels not only protect your packaging but give a polished look that lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out the <a href=\"\/blog\/waterproof-vs-water-resistant-labels\/\">difference between waterproof and water-resistant labels.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-get-a-no-label-look\">4.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=545"}],"version-history":[{"count":71,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22793,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545\/revisions\/22793"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
