White BOPP Label Material

White BOPP label material is a waterproof, tear-resistant film facestock made from biaxially oriented polypropylene, top-coated for printing and laminated to a pressure-sensitive adhesive and release liner. It is used for product labels that must survive moisture, oils and handling — on cosmetics, household chemicals, beverages and industrial packaging — where paper labels would wrinkle, tear or discolour.

Why choose white BOPP

  • Waterproof & moisture-resistant

    The film absorbs no water, so labels stay flat and legible through condensation, ice buckets, refrigeration and wash-down.

  • Tear-resistant & durable

    Biaxial orientation gives high tensile strength — the label survives filling lines, transit abrasion and repeated handling.

  • Oil, grease & chemical resistant

    Stands up to lotions, detergents, solvents, lubricants and diluted acids without staining, softening or lifting.

  • Excellent print surface

    The top-coat anchors UV flexo, offset, screen, digital and thermal transfer inks for sharp text and dense solids.

  • Conformable

    Thin gauges wrap smoothly around bottles, jars and squeezable containers without wrinkling or flagging at the edges.

  • Stable & long-lasting

    Dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range, with good UV and ageing resistance for long shelf and outdoor life.

Typical applications

Adhesive & liner options

The facestock is only one third of the construction. We laminate white BOPP to permanent acrylic, removable, freezer-grade, high-tack, wash-off or food-contact adhesives, on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liners — matched to your substrate, application temperature, dispensing speed and end-of-life requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is white BOPP label material used for?

It is used for product labels that need to survive water, oils and handling — cosmetics and personal care bottles, household and industrial chemical containers, beverages, chilled foods and industrial packaging. Anywhere a paper label would wrinkle, tear or discolour, white BOPP is the default film choice.

What is the difference between white BOPP and PP synthetic paper?

Both are polypropylene. White BOPP is a thin (50–80 µm) gloss or matte film for bottle and container labels. PP synthetic paper is thicker (80–120 µm), matte, writable and stiffer — used where the label must feel like paper but not tear.

Is white BOPP waterproof?

Yes. The film itself absorbs no water, so it does not swell, wrinkle or lose print. Full waterproof performance also depends on the adhesive: choose a water-resistant permanent acrylic for immersion, condensation or wash-down applications.

Can white BOPP be used in freezer or cold-chain applications?

Yes, with a freezer-grade adhesive. The film stays flexible down to about -40 °C; the adhesive sets the real limit, so tell us whether the label is applied before or after freezing and at what surface temperature.

Which printing methods work on white BOPP?

The top-coated surface prints flexo, offset, letterpress, screen, UV inkjet, HP Indigo and thermal transfer. For thermal transfer, use the TT-coated grade with a resin ribbon — wax ribbons do not anchor to film and will smear.

Is white BOPP recyclable?

Polypropylene is recyclable, and BOPP separates by flotation in PET bottle wash processes. However, standard adhesive residue can contaminate the recovered flake, so for bottle-to-bottle recycling specify our wash-off adhesive or a recycling-compatible construction.

What is your minimum order quantity and lead time?

Stock white BOPP constructions start at one jumbo roll; custom facestock, adhesive or liner combinations start at 3,000–5,000 m². Free samples are available, quotes are returned within one business day, and typical production lead time is 7–15 days after artwork and spec confirmation.
