What finish should I use for cosmetic labels?
For cosmetic labels, we recommend either matte or gloss laminate. Both options are waterproof, oil-resistant, and designed to handle everyday wear. They perform well in environments where labels are frequently exposed to moisture, product residue, and regular handling.
Choosing the right finish for cosmetic labels
Cosmetic products are often exposed to moisture, oils, and frequent handling. That’s why a protective laminate is usually the best choice.
-
Matte laminate is a popular option for skincare, beauty, and wellness brands looking for a premium, soft-touch appearance. It reduces glare and creates a more refined look.
-
Glossy laminate enhances colors, adds shine, and helps designs stand out on shelves. It’s a great choice when vibrancy and visual impact are important.
Both laminates protect your labels from water, oils, and everyday wear. This helps them stay looking great throughout the product’s lifespan.
We do not recommend uncoated or varnish finishes for cosmetic labels. They provide less protection in environments where moisture, oils, and frequent handling are common.
