  • Can BOPP labels be used for frozen foods?
    Yes, BOPP labels are ideal for frozen products due to their resistance to low temperatures down to -40°C and lack of deformation during temperature changes.
  • What is the minimum order quantity for BOPP labels?
    The minimum print run depends on the size and complexity of the label, but usually starts at 5,000 pieces. To clarify the possibilities of producing small runs, please contact our managers.
  • Are BOPP labels recyclable?
    Yes, BOPP film is fully recyclable and has markings for sorting plastic waste, making labels an environmentally responsible choice for modern businesses.
  • What adhesives are used for BOPP labels?
    We use different types of adhesives depending on the application: permanent acrylic for standard use, removable for temporary marking, and special frost-resistant adhesives for low temperatures.
  • How long does it take to produce BOPP labels?
    The standard production time is 7-10 working days from the moment of approval of the layout. For urgent orders, the time can be shortened by prior agreement.
  • Can transparent BOPP labels be made with printing?
    Yes, we produce transparent BOPP labels with full-color printing, which creates a "glass printing" effect. This is especially popular for cosmetic and perfume products.
