Water-resistant vs Waterproof Labels
Understanding the difference between waterproof and water-resistant labels will help you choose the right material for bath, body, and cosmetic products.
Waterproof Labels
- Made from plastic or vinyl materials with a glossy or matte laminate for added protection.
- Resistant to water damage—labels won’t shrink, curl, or peel.
- Can withstand full submersion in water for extended periods.
Best Waterproof Options:
- White, Clear, or Metallic Plastic
- White Vinyl (for supreme durability)
Water-Resistant Labels
- These labels handle moisture but not full immersion or long-term water exposure.
- After contact with water, the label’s look and feel may be affected.
Ideal for damp environments where labels need temporary water protection.
