7. Removable Roll Labels – Temporary, Safe, Clean Removal

Need a label that stays put but leaves no trace? Removable Roll Labels offer a strong hold for temporary applications but can be peeled off easily without leaving sticky residue or damaging the surface.

Why we love it: Ideal for short-term branding or products where customers need to remove the label after purchase.

8. Writable Roll Labels – Customizable, Functional, Protected

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which material is best for products that will be submerged in water or ice?

A: We recommend our Durable Roll Labels (BOPP) or White Vinyl. Both are waterproof and oil-resistant, ensuring they won't peel or smudge in wet conditions.

Q: Can I write on these labels?

A: Yes! Matte Vinyl and Eco-Safe Paper are the best options if you need to hand-write dates, flavors, or notes. Glossy and Clear materials can be written on with permanent markers, but ballpoint pens may smudge.

Q: Are the Eco-Safe labels as durable as vinyl?

A: Eco-Safe labels are designed for indoor use and are not waterproof like our vinyl options. They are perfect for dry goods, coffee bags, and boxes, but not recommended for products exposed to heavy moisture.
