Matte Labels
What are Matte Labels?
Matte labels are printed with a smooth, non-gloss finish and supplied on sheets for quick peeling and storage. Each sheet has the same artwork repeated, making them perfect for packaging, branding and product labelling.
What’s the difference between matte and gloss labels?
Gloss is shiny and reflects light. Matte isn’t, it has a softer, more muted finish. Matte gives you a clean, low-glare look.
Are matte labels waterproof?
Yes. Same tough vinyl and laminate as our gloss stickers. They can handle water, splashes, and rain just fine.
Do matte labels look dull?
Not at all. Colours still print bright and clear. They’re just not shiny. Matte has a more subtle look, which some people prefer for certain designs.
Can I get custom shapes and sizes?
Yes. We cut to whatever shape and size you need, circles, squares, custom shapes, anything.
When should I choose matte over gloss?
Pick matte if you want something you can write on, want to avoid glare, or prefer a softer finish. It’s a personal choice, both hold up the same.
Do matte labels feel different to gloss ones?
Yes. Matte labels have a smooth, dry feel with no shine. Gloss stickers feel slick and slightly slippery. It’s a small thing, but noticeable in person.
Can I use matte labels on packaging?
Yes, they’re great for packaging. The non-reflective finish looks smart on boxes, jars, and bags, especially if you want a more natural or handmade vibe.
