TYPES OF PAPER FOR LABELS TYPES OF PAPER FOR LABELS
When we want to label our products, the material we use will determine the finish and use of the label. Today we want to review the special and FSC-certified papers for labels, answering questions such as: What are the differences in use given to one paper or another? What type of paper is most suitable for my product? At Etimed we have a wide variety of special papers for labels. Each type of paper tells a story, and your choice will be fundamental, since it will leave your personality linked to the product.
Each of the papers we work with contain sustainability certifications, among them, we highlight the FSC Chain of Custody certification. The FSC certificate is a forest certification that promotes sustainable forest management. All the papers that at ETIQUETAS DEL MEDITERRÁNEO we use to produce our labels are FSC certified, which means that the paper used comes from sustainably exploited forests.
Types of paper for labels:
COATED PAPER
Also known as coated paper, it is one of the most used. It offers great value for money and its use, as we have already mentioned, is highly standardized. The greatest quality of this paper is that it has a layer of stucco applied, based on mineral pigments and adhesive elements. This layer enhances the printed colors, making them stand out and offering a striking and quality finish.
PEARLY
The pearl finish of the paper adds great quality to the label. The result is very striking and can be ideal for highlighting some quality of the product. It is a paper that offers great resistance and durability, and the printing results are of high quality.

This type of paper is a classic, it is characterized by having marks of variable thickness on its entire surface. It has good resistance and its appearance is rustic.
