What is BOPP?
For more bopp polypropyleneinformation, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.
Biaxially oriented polypropylene, or BOPP, is a film stretched in both machine and transverse directions, producing molecular chain orientation in two directions. BOPP is our most common material because it holds up to almost everything. Not only is it our most popular label material, but this is also the ideal logo sticker material. It is resistant to water oils and chemicals, making it one of the best overall. You can have many different options when it comes to BOPP.
BOPP Label & Sticker Materials Offered
WHITE BOPP
White BOPP is excellent for indoor/outdoor use. The base color is white and can be printed with any color you'd like. Add a gloss, matte, or UV laminate depending on your product's look, feel, and use. This material is rugged and long-lasting, making it ideal for Beauty Products, Beer Crowlers, Beard Oil, CBD Products, Logo Stickers, and Lip Balms.
CLEAR BOPP
Clear BOPP is a water, oil, and moisture-resistant polypropylene film. It is excellent when you want to see the underlying products. This is commonly used with toiletries, cosmetics, and candle labels.
SILVER BOPP
Silver BOPP has a brushed steel look. It is recommended for fully metallic labels.
Silver Chrome BOPP
Silver Chrome is a highly reflective, water, oil, and moisture-resistant material. This is the choice if you want a subtle touch of spot metallic* on your label. Unlike Silver BOPP, it is not recommended for fully metallic labels (see Silver BOPP above). *Printing spot metallic requires artwork designed in a vector program such as Adobe Illustrator.

Format – Direct Thermal vs Thermal Transfer
If your company already has a thermal printer, such as a Zebra, Datamax, or Sato you would be a great candidate for thermal polypropylene labels.
Why go thermal you might ask? Not only will these thermal BOPP labels produce a high-quality barcode but they are much cheaper than durable laser sheet, polyester, or vinyl labels.
These thermal BOPP labels would come in one of two formats: Direct Thermal (no ribbon) or Thermal Transfer (ribbon required).
The advantage of Direct Thermal labels is they do not require a ribbon to print. This means that you only need to inventory one supply item, as opposed to the two required for Thermal Transfer. Although these Direct Thermal BOPP labels are top coated for additional environmental protection, they are still more likely to scuff compared to their Thermal Transfer counterparts.
For that reason, we typically recommend customers utilize Thermal Transfer labels. After all, if you are looking for a more durable label, thermal transfer provides added durability which is critical so it meets your needs. Finally, Thermal Transfer BOPP labels do require a special ribbon that has been formulated to print on the label (more on that later).
