For custom soda bottle labels that need to endure varying temperatures and moisture, it’s important to choose the right label materials and finishing techniques.
Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) is one of the best materials for soda labels because it offers good resistance to water and moisture. BOPP maintains its integrity in cold, wet environments that are common with soda cans and bottles.
To improve durability, lamination and gloss finishing can be applied. These finishing techniques not only protect the label from damage but also add a matte finish or vibrant sheen that can enhance color contrast.
While paper labels are another alternative to consider and are great for embellishment techniques, they should be considered carefully; paper labels should be treated with water-resistant coatings or even a protective laminate to survive moisture exposure.
Hot foil stamping techniques allow your label to reflect light, creating a premium look.
