PP Synthetic Paper Label Material
PP synthetic paper label material is a polypropylene-based facestock that looks and prints like paper but is waterproof and tear-proof like film. It suits durable tags, outdoor labels and manuals that need a matte, writable paper feel with film toughness.
Quick answer
PP synthetic paper is a polypropylene-based facestock (80–120 µm) with a matte, writable paper appearance but waterproof, tear-proof film performance. It is used for durable tags, outdoor and horticultural labels, and repeatedly handled manuals where ordinary paper would disintegrate.

Frequently asked questions
What is PP synthetic paper label material?
PP synthetic paper is a polypropylene-based facestock, typically 80–120 µm, with the matte, writable look of paper but the waterproof, tear-proof behaviour of film. It can be written on with pen or laser-printed while resisting water, oils and repeated folding, so labels and tags survive handling that would soften or shred ordinary paper.
Buyers use it for horticultural and nursery tags, outdoor equipment labels, manuals and instruction sheets, drum and pail labels, and any label that is handled or wetted many times.
Decide caliper by whether the item is a hanging tag or an applied label, then match the adhesive to the surface — rough plastics and coated drums often need high-tack. Check printing compatibility with your ink or toner, and note that unlike PET, PP softens at lower heat. Outdoor life and writability depend on conditions — confirm with sample testing.
What is PP synthetic paper used for?
Durable tags, outdoor labels, manuals and menus that need a paper look but must resist water and tearing.
How is synthetic paper different from real paper?
Synthetic paper is plastic-based, so it is waterproof and tear-proof, while ordinary paper absorbs water and tears easily.
Can you write and print on synthetic paper?
Yes. Its matte surface accepts pen and most print methods while staying durable.
Is it worth the extra cost over paper?
When the label must survive moisture, handling or the outdoors, synthetic paper lasts far longer than coated paper.
What roll widths does PP synthetic paper come in?
PP synthetic paper is supplied as jumbo, log or finished slit rolls up to 1,600 mm wide, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores, and is also available unlined as tag stock on request instead of on a glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner.
Can PP synthetic paper be die-cut into tags without a liner?
Yes. Besides standard laminated constructions on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner, PP synthetic paper is also supplied as unlined tag stock that is die-cut and sold flat or in sheets, for plant tags, swing tickets and similar applications — tell us the format you need.
What temperature and weather conditions can PP synthetic paper handle?
PP synthetic paper is waterproof and tear-proof, so it holds up through rain, handling and repeated folding in outdoor garden, nursery and tag applications; exact cold and heat limits depend on the adhesive chosen and are confirmed on the datasheet — request a free sample to test it.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Stocked grades start from 1 jumbo roll. Custom constructions or coatings typically start from 3,000–5,000 square meters, depending on complexity.
What adhesive and liner options are available?
Permanent, removable, deep-freeze, high-tack or wash-off adhesive (water-based or hot-melt), on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner — matched to your surface and environment.
