Recently, a customer asked whether coated paper is waterproof, oil-proof, or PVC-proof, and what the benefits of coated roll-to-roll labels are. We’ve compiled information on printing coated roll-to-roll labels for you:

1. What is Coated Label Paper?

Coated paper, also known as printed coated paper, is a common item in our daily lives. Coated labels are widely used in markets, clothing hangtags, and assembly lines. Coated labels last much longer than thermal labels after printing. Generally, they don’t fade.

2. Are Coated Paper Labels Waterproof?

The short answer is no. If they are waterproof, they typically have a film on the surface. They will flake when exposed to moisture, making them difficult to maintain for extended periods. Therefore, when choosing a coated paper label, the first thing to consider is whether it is suitable for your product.

3. Applications and Advantages of Coated Paper:

Coated paper is made on a papermaking machine from bleached chemical wood pulp or partially bleached chemical straw pulp. Using base paper as a base, white pigment, adhesive, and other auxiliary materials are evenly coated on the coating machine, dried, and super-calendered. Coated paper has a wide range of applications, including product catalogs, books, magazines, product packaging, printed posters, promotional brochures, wall calendars, desk calendars, business cards, and more. We often see it in our daily lives. Handbags and gift bags made with coated paper are not only colorful, eye-catching, and visually appealing, but also very durable and practical. Labels and trademarks made with coated paper are not only moisture-resistant and durable, but also easy to use and have a long shelf life. They are highly popular with users. Of course, the choice of printing method depends primarily on the printing method and the needs of the end user.
