When selecting a high-performance labeling material, especially for environments requiring water-resistance, tear-resistance, and print clarity, the BOPP Synthetic Paper Label emerges as a clear winner. But what exactly is it, and why do businesses across industries prefer this material over traditional paper or other synthetic options?
In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about BOPP synthetic paper labels — their structure, technical specifications, applications, and commonly asked questions.
BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer that has been stretched in two directions for improved strength and clarity. When used as a label substrate, it forms a synthetic paper that mimics the appearance and texture of paper but with significantly enhanced performance. This makes them ideal for applications in harsh environments or where the label must endure moisture or friction.
Here are the top reasons businesses choose this type of label:
Key Advantages
Waterproof & Tear-Resistant – Perfect for outdoor and refrigerated products.
High Print Clarity – Compatible with a range of printing technologies.
Eco-Friendly Option – Fully recyclable and non-toxic.
Cost-Effective – Long-term durability reduces reprinting or relabeling costs.
Versatile – Suitable for food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, logistics, and more.

Q1: Can BOPP synthetic paper labels be used for frozen products?
A1: Yes, BOPP synthetic paper labels perform excellently in cold and frozen environments. With a temperature resistance range from -20°C to +100°C, they maintain their adhesion and legibility even after being exposed to moisture and frost.
Q2: Are these labels safe for direct contact with food?
A2: Absolutely. Our BOPP synthetic paper labels comply with international food safety standards. The materials used are non-toxic, BPA-free, and approved for indirect and some forms of direct food contact, depending on the adhesive used.
Q3: What printing methods are compatible with BOPP synthetic paper labels?
A3: These labels are compatible with various printing technologies including UV Inkjet, Flexographic, and Thermal Transfer. This ensures vibrant, smudge-resistant results and allows for barcoding, branding, or variable data printing.
To maximize performance, it's important to store BOPP synthetic paper labels under appropriate conditions.
Storage Guidelines
Temperature: 10°C – 30°C
Humidity: 40% – 60% RH
Shelf Life: 12 months from production date
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store in a cool, shaded area
