Offering excellent print quality, a variety of finishes and suitability for both short and long print runs, they are ideal for businesses looking to create attractive product labels without compromising on quality.  Paper labels offer an excellent balance of appearance, versatility and affordability. They are suitable for a wide range of products and can be customised with different finishes to work with your brand identity. Our printed paper labels are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes, allowing you to create labels that not only communicate essential product information but also improve shelf appeal. They are commonly used for: 

Self-Adhesive Paper Labels 

Our self-adhesive paper labels are available with a range of adhesive options to suit different environments and packaging materials. Depending on your application, we can supply permanent, removable, high-tack, freezer-grade and wash off adhesives. Our team will recommend the most suitable adhesive based on your product, storage conditions and intended use. 

Coated & Uncoated Paper Labels 

Coated paper labels offer a smoother surface that delivers excellent print quality and vibrant colours. Available in gloss or matt finishes, they provide enhanced durability and are commonly chosen for retail packaging and consumer products. Uncoated papers provide a natural, tactile finish that works particularly well for artisan brands, farm shops, craft products and are an environmentally friendly option. Their textured appearance creates an authentic, natural feel.

Are paper labels environmentally friendly?

Abbey Labels can supply FSC-certified paper labels, recycled paper materials, labels compatible with recyclable packaging as well as wash-off adhesives to aid recycling processes.

What's the difference between coated and uncoated paper labels?

Coated paper labels have a smooth surface that enhances colour vibrancy and durability, while uncoated papers have a more natural, textured appearance that’s popular for artisan and premium brands. 

Are paper labels waterproof?
