Discontinued Materials
Material Updates: Alternatives for Discontinued Options
From time to time, we discontinue low-performing or infrequently ordered materials. If you previously ordered Metallic Paper, Estate 9, Squeezable Plastic, or Clear Vinyl, don’t worry—we have excellent alternatives for you!
Metallic Paper → Metallic Plastic
- Practically identical in appearance but waterproof, oil-resistant, and extreme temperature-resistant.
- Keeps your labels looking foiled and flashy, just like Metallic Paper.
Estate 9 → Estate 4 or Avon Classic Crest
- Estate 4:
- True white counterpart to Estate 9 with the same features: unlaminated, textured, and water-resistant.
- More economical—expect cost savings!
- Avon Classic Crest:
- Bright white, untextured, and unlaminated paper.
- Water-resistant and performs well in moist environments.
- FSC-certified, acid-free, and archival quality—responsibly sourced and budget-friendly.
Tip: To mimic Estate 9’s natural color, use this color build in your artwork: 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 4.5% yellow, 0% black (key).
Squeezable Plastic → White Plastic or White Vinyl
- White Plastic (White BOPP):
- Versatile, waterproof, oil-resistant, and suitable for nearly any product.
- More economical than Squeezable Plastic.
- White Vinyl:
- Our most durable material—waterproof, oil-resistant, weather-resistant, and chemical-resistant.
- Thick, sturdy, and flexible with a strong adhesive. Ideal for small diameters (1” or less), like lip balm tubes or vape cartridges.
Clear Vinyl → Clear Plastic or Ultra Clear Plastic
- Clear Plastic:
- Durable, waterproof, and oil-resistant.
- Matches the transparency of Clear Vinyl while being more cost-effective.
- Ultra Clear Plastic:
- Maximum transparency, often creating the illusion of being printed directly onto the package.
- Waterproof, oil-resistant, ultra-thin, and typically more economical.
