Foil Labels – The Best Value

By contrast, foil labels may be less expensive than metallic labels. They are less shiny and although they cannot be used readily on curved surfaces, foil labels have many particular uses. They are excellent barrier materials, and are a good choice for tamper evident labels. If wrinkling is a concern, adding a film over lamination can help. Foil labels are not available with removable adhesive.

Foil Labels and Metallic Labels – What is the Difference?

Metallic labels, also searched as foil labels, basically relate to the ultra shiny chrome or brushed look of gold or silver that is built into film substrates such as Mylar® (polyester) and polypropylene. The metalized films are usually more durable, shiny, pliable and are much less susceptible to wrinkles and curling. They can be used in more challenging environments, where heat, water, or chemical resistance might be needed. Film can be more expensive but may be necessary for the application.
