Where Are Coated Labels Used?
Coated labels are widely used for general product labels, promotional labels, cosmetic packaging and price tags. Their ability to print high-resolution imagery and detailed typography clearly makes coated labels a preferred choice for products with high brand visibility needs.
Coated Label or Thermal Label?
Coated labels prioritize visual quality, while thermal labels offer speed and cost advantages. Thermal is preferred for barcodes and shipping labels, while coated material gives better results for product labels where brand identity is front and center.
