Why choose plastic labels? Benefits of PP/film media

Why choose plastic labels? Benefits of PP/film media

Plastic labels are the best option when you need long-lasting, readable labels. They resist water and tearing, handle oils and many cleaners, and fade less than paper. Below: when PP/film is the smart choice, how to pick the right size and which variants we stock for Dymo and Brother.

Why plastic instead of paper?

  • Water & weather resistant – outdoor, fridges/freezers, humid areas.
  • Tear-resistant – survives friction and heavy handling.
  • Resists oils/cleaners – great for warehouse, workshop and retail.
  • Longer lifespan – fewer replacements, labels stay neat and readable.
  • Premium look – smooth, professional finish on products and bins.

Typical uses

  • Shipping & logistics – rain, moisture and abrasion.
  • Warehouse & retail – containers touched and cleaned often.
  • Workshop & facility – tools, maintenance cards, warnings.
  • Cold storage – won’t peel or tear in low temperatures.

How to choose

  1. Width & size – match your current size (e.g. 89×36 mm) or pick a 4″ shipping label (102/104×150 mm).
  2. Colour – white is most common; transparent/yellow for standout labels.
  3. Adhesive – standard/permanent sticks best to cardboard, plastic and metal.

Freezer safe?
