When Is A Transparent Label Not A Transparent Label?

Here are our answers to your most frequently asked questions about transparent labels.

• How transparent are your transparent labels?
  Our transparent adhesive labels are all made with a transparent face material and a transparent adhesive; they are not “frosted” or “transluscent”, nor are they “glass clear”. This means that they look almost completely clear BUT they may have a very slight frosted look, particularly when applied to glass. This is because the adhesive may trap some air bubbles or small particles of dust during the application of the label, which prevents the label from having a completely transparent appearance.
• What are transparent labels made of?
  All of our transparent labels are made of polyester, which means that they are long lasting, durable labels that are also waterproof.
• Are your transparent labels coloured?
  No. Some transparent labels are available with a slight colour to them; these are called “transluscent” labels and are not a product that we offer.
• Why are there so many different options?
  We have four transparent label options to help customers find the label that is just right for their particular needs; for example, a customer may have specific requirements such as they only have an inkjet printer and need a compatible label, they may prefer a matt to a gloss finish (or vice versa), or they may require a temporary label that they can easily remove when they need to.
• What’s the difference between matt and gloss?
  Our matt transparent labels have a dull, non shiny finish, while our gloss transparent labels have a bright, shiny finish.
  Having both finishes means that you can choose to match your label to the surface it is applied to (or you can use the opposite finish to help your label stand out). The gloss finish is ideal for adding a professional, decorative touch to items or surfaces (particularly retail products), while the matt finish is great way to add extra print to an item or surface without distracting from the item or surface itself (such as decorative envelopes that have been chosen for special occasions like weddings and anniversary celebrations).
• hat is the difference between “transparent” labels and “clear” labels?
  Absolutely nothing! We include both terms because we’ve found that some customers will only search for “transparent” or “clear” labels and by including both terms we can make sure that more people find the labels that they’re looking for.
