BOPP is an acronym for Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene (PP), a favorite for beauty and personal care products, as well as household, food and beverage brands. And it's easy to see why.

BOPP is a versatile and resilient label material available in white, opaque, metallized or clear. BOPP labels are thin yet rugged, moisture resistant, product resistant, non-toxic and food safe.
These moisture and solvent resistance qualities are ideal for household products, and acid resistance is a benefit for some food & beverage products. Citrus, tomatoes, condiments, coffee, vegetables, and other food & beverage products with low pH/high acid content may discolor or degrade lesser label materials. Our BOPP label materials adapt to virtually any product line.
By far the most common BOPP label, white is available with strong permanent adhesives or removable adhesives for required applications. White BOPP is the preferred label material for health & beauty, cosmetic, and personal care labels. White BOPP is also commonly used for food labels. As mentioned above, BOPP is non-toxic and moisture resistant' so labeled products that may come in contact with water or oils (and other ingredients) are a great fit for our BOPP material.
Silver BOPP provides the same excellent durability and product/moisture resistance of white BOPP, with a silver metallic finish. Add flair to your label design with standard silver or a chrome/mirror-like finish.
Gold BOPP labels are as rugged and product/moisture resistant as white and silver BOPP, with a luxurious, reflective gold finish. Elevate your brand packaging with eye-catching shiny gold labels.
The elegant no-label look is beloved by spirit, wine, food & beverage, cosmetic, health & beauty, and personal care products. Clear BOPP label material provides the same moisture & product resistant qualities of white and metallized BOPP, with the added benefit of a virtually invisible label' even on colored containers. Critically, BOPP labels must be produced with a clear poly liner to smooth out the adhesive prior to application.

Containers that contort with use and handling, such as a lotion tubes, need a label material and adhesive combination specifically designed to be fully squeezable. BOPP labels are not fully squeezable, so for containers with this requirement we recommend polyolefin and polyethylene film.
Polyolefin and polyethylene are fully squeezable and available in clear, white, and bright silver. These materials are suitable for many of the same applications as BOPP, and are the preferred label stocks for your fully squeezable label needs.
To avoid folds, flagging and wrinkles, be sure to work with your label printer to select the best label construction. Material, adhesive, varnish, and overlap of the applied label are critical to successful tube labeling.

BOPP labels are very popular and eminently useful, but if you're not curious about the technical aspects of the material, stop reading here!
As we said at the top of the page, BOPP is an acronym for Biaxially-Oriented (BO) Polypropylene (PP). 'Biaxially-oriented' refers to the production method which stretches the base material across two directions, increasing overall strength and clarity. Polypropylene is an amazingly versatile thermoplastic polymer used not only in labels, but furniture, microwave-safe food packaging, clear bags, playing card collector sheets, and thousands of other things.
Combined with the ideal adhesive for your specific needs, a bright white, metallized or clear base material, and printed with the highest quality, Resource Label Group produces beautiful BOPP labels for brands in any industry.
Most label companies offer semi-gloss paper as their default material. Paper is cheap, but unfortunately it isn't very durable. It tends to fall apart when exposed to moisture, heat, cold, stains, or repeat handling. That's why Wizard Labels made a conscious decision years ago to use BOPP instead of paper.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented PolyPropylene) is a specially-created labeling material made of thin white polypropylene plastic film.
BOPP comes in white, clear, and what we like to call 'chrome' labels (which have a shiny silver-like appearance). Not sure which kind of label you need? Try some out. Request a free label sample pack now.
Here's why we recommend BOPP over semi-gloss labels:
BOPP labels are designed to last the entire lifetime of your product.
By the time your customer has finished your product and is throwing out the container, paper labels will look much worse for wear. BOPP labels will still look brand-new, which makes it easier for your customers to reorder your product.
That's because polypropylene film is durable, hard-wearing, immune to temperature fluctuations, stain resistant, acid resistant, solvent resistant, and effectively impervious to moisture and other elements.
BOPP stands up easily to punishment that would simply destroy a paper label. That keeps your product looking good throughout its life.
What kinds of products should use BOPP labels?
Today, customers increasingly make their buying decisions online. That means that the image of your product is more critical than ever before. BOPP helps your product look its best online or on the shelf.
It's because of the way the printing process works. When ordinary paper labels run through the printing press, they tend to absorb some of the ink, and the resulting image can look flat and dull.
But the image stays crisp when printed on BOPP. That's because polypropylene film doesn't absorb anything. Instead, the ink stays on the surface of the label (and is over-laminated with a very thin layer of clear polypropylene for extra protection). As a result, BOPP labels look brighter and more vibrant then paper labels. That makes your product more eye-catching to customers.
BOPP may be big on durability and looks, but it's small on price.
Sure, paper may be marginally cheaper from a manufacturing standpoint, but it doesn't have any of the outstanding benefits of BOPP. So why not go straight to the premium product instead?
That's why we offer premium BOPP at no additional charge, while other printers use ordinary paper labels. BOPP is simply better.
But don't just take our word for it. Try out our BOPP labels, and then decide for yourself. Request a free label sample pack now.
