How to Choose the Right Material

Will the product be stored in humid/cold conditions? Choose Deepfreeze material.

Risk of outdoor exposure or water contact? PP Opaque is the most durable option.

Want a “label-free” look for transparent/glass packaging? Transparent labels are ideal.

Budget-conscious and used under standard conditions? Coated or Thermal material is the most economical choice.
