Our custom waterproof labels are designed to stay firmly attached and clearly legible in wet, humid, or refrigerated environments. Whether you're labeling drink bottles, frozen food, or cosmetics, we use water-resistant films and strong adhesives to ensure long-lasting performance. Full customization is available based on your packaging and usage.
Products stored or used in wet, cold, or humid environments require labels that don’t smudge, peel off, or lose readability. Common cases include
Refrigerated or frozen foods
Beverage bottles and jars
Bathroom and shower products
Industrial or medical use under moist conditions
As a label printing factory, we select suitable materials, adhesives, and printing methods based on the specific use environment—whether it's condensation, sub-zero storage, or frequent handling with wet hands.
We typically recommend film-based materials for waterproof applications:
| Material | Features |
|---|---|
| PP (Polypropylene) | Water- and oil-resistant, flexible, suitable for most surfaces |
| PET (Polyester) | More rigid, high durability, heat- and cold-resistant |
| Vinyl | Highly conformable, good for curved or irregular surfaces |
| Synthetic paper | Tear-proof and water-resistant, writable if needed |
All materials are non-absorbent and can be paired with lamination for additional moisture protection.
We match adhesives based on your surface and storage temperature:
Standard permanent – For plastic, glass, or cardboard
High-tack adhesive – For low-energy surfaces (like PE bags)
Freezer-grade adhesive – Maintains adhesion down to –40°C (–40°F)
Removable waterproof – Optional for temporary use on smooth surfaces
Let us know if your label is applied before or after freezing—this affects adhesive selection.
UV digital or screen printing – Waterproof ink that won’t smudge
White ink underlay – For full-color printing on transparent or metallic film
Glossy/matte lamination – Added protection against moisture, oil, and abrasion
Barcode/QR code printing – Compatible with scanners even when exposed to water
We also support serial numbers, expiry dates, and other variable data printing.
Frozen food and meal prep packaging
Refrigerated beverage bottles or jars
Body wash, shampoo, or bathroom products
Cold-chain logistics and medical labels
Outdoor tools or safety equipment exposed to rain
Q: Will the label fall off in the freezer or fridge?
A: No. We use adhesives rated for cold and humid environments. For freezer use, we offer low-temperature adhesives that maintain stickiness even at –40°C.
Q: Can I label the product before it goes into freezing?
A: Yes. We’ll select the adhesive based on when and where your label is applied—pre-freeze or post-freeze.
Q: Will ink smudge if the product gets wet?
A: No. We use waterproof inks and UV-cured printing methods to ensure smudge resistance, even with condensation or splash exposure.
Q: Are samples available?
A: Yes. We can provide material samples for testing before you place a full order.
