What to look out for in a good water bottle label.

To get a good quality water bottle label, there are various factors that need to be considered. This is highly attributed by nature through which bottles face during the production chain. These factors include:

• Condensation
• Friction
• Product Handling
• Adhesion

The above factors are detrimental if not followed up. Therefore it’s vital to ensure your product maintains its branding standards, that is, they maintain their professional standards as well as look good and do not depreciate in value. Below are tips that will guarantee and secure your water bottle label quality and longevity.

Here are some material options to think through for effective workability.

White Glossy Labels

For a cost-effective option, white glossy labels have a very great potential for their print quality and luster is maintained. The material is most prevalent in the food and beverage markets and they are usually printed on semi-gloss paper or white film.

White glossy labels are most preferable on a large scale level or where water bottles require large labels. The process involves incorporating a laminate that is used to protect the ink from running as well as maintaining the integrity of the materials. The latter is maintained by reducing friction and helps in product handling.

Clear Transparent Labels

Clear transparent labels are known to be durable and work very well with clear water bottles. They more than most often achieve a high-end look as well as produce a 3D effect if used on opposite positions that are the front and back label. They are also approved for their high tenacity but the cost per label is costly. In addition, it requires a machine label applicator which is more effective compared to manual input.

Shiny Foil Labels

If you want your water bottle labels to stand out using shiny foil material is a very effective way. A UV coating or clear laminate can be applied to metalized paper to add shine. For waterproofing, the use of a laminate can be invoked. Its disadvantage is that with prolonged condensation or moisture, the label ends up damaged due to water seeping through the label. To avoid this film based labels are most preferable.
