Why choose matte woodfree paper

  • Natural, non-glare matte look

    No coating shine, so the label reads cleanly under retail lighting and photographs without hotspots.

  • Writable with pen, stamp and laser

    The absorbent uncoated face takes ballpoint, marker, rubber stamp, laser and inkjet without smearing.

  • Clean minimalist aesthetic

    A quiet, paper-forward finish favoured by natural, apothecary and craft brand identities.

  • Good for flexo and offset

    Runs reliably on conventional presses with standard inks and straightforward drying.

Typical applications

Frequently asked questions

What is matte and woodfree label paper used for?

Matte woodfree label paper is an uncoated paper facestock, usually 70–80 gsm, with a natural, non-reflective surface that accepts pen, pencil and stamp as readily as press ink. Its flat, glare-free look reads as understated and honest, and it is easy to write on, which coated and film labels do not allow without a special topcoat.

It is used for shipping and address labels, laboratory and sample identification, file and inventory marking, and minimalist natural-brand packaging where a matte, tactile finish is part of the design.

Choose adhesive by surface and removal need — permanent for cartons, removable for glassware and returnable containers — and liner by applicator speed. Uncoated paper absorbs ink, so allow for dot gain, and remember it marks and stains easily; for damp storage, oils or abrasion use a coated or film grade and confirm with sample testing.

What is woodfree matte label paper used for?

Writable and minimalist labels — shipping, address, lab, office and natural-brand labels — where a non-glossy, pen-friendly surface is wanted.

Can you write on matte label paper?

Yes. The uncoated matte surface accepts pen, stamp, laser and inkjet, unlike glossy coated stocks.

Is matte woodfree paper coated?

No, it is uncoated. That gives the natural matte look but less ink pop than a coated semi-gloss stock.

Is it suitable for wet or outdoor labels?

No. Choose a film facestock such as PP synthetic or PET for wet, outdoor or durable use.

Does matte woodfree label paper work with laser or digital printers?

Yes, besides flexo and offset presses, the uncoated matte face runs well through laser printers and toner-based digital presses used for short-run or variable-data labels, since it has no glossy coating to resist toner fusing. Confirm your printer model so we can advise on the best grade.

What liner and die-cutting options are available for matte woodfree rolls?

Matte woodfree paper is supplied on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner, matrix-stripped and die-cut to your label shape, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores. PET liner suits high-speed dispensing; glassine is the economical standard for most applicators.

What roll widths and MOQ apply to matte woodfree label paper?

Rolls are supplied up to 1,600 mm wide as jumbo, log or finished slit rolls, with stock constructions available from a single jumbo roll and custom adhesive or coating combinations from 3,000–5,000 m². Request a free sample and datasheet with your target width to get a fast quote.

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.
