Coated paper and synthetic paper which is more suitable for making self-adhesive label paper

Choosing coated paper or synthetic paper to make self-adhesive label paper mainly depends on your specific needs and application scenarios. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of the two materials in the production of self-adhesive label paper:

Coated paper

Advantages:

Good printing effect: the smooth surface and high whiteness of coated paper make the printed text and pattern clear and bright, and the color restoration is high.

Lower cost: Compared to synthetic paper, the price of coated paper is usually lower, which is more suitable for cost-sensitive application scenarios.

Environmental protection: As a paper material, coated paper is relatively more environmentally friendly and can be recycled.

Cons:

Poor weather resistance: coated paper is easy to deform, wrinkle or fall off in wet or high temperature environments, and is not suitable for long-term use in outdoor or harsh environments.

Poor waterproof performance: The waterproof performance of coated paper is relatively weak, which may affect its performance after encountering liquid or moisture.

Synthetic paper

Advantages:

Strong weather resistance: synthetic paper has strong weather resistance, can maintain stable performance in a variety of environments, suitable for long-term use in outdoor or harsh environments.

Good waterproof performance: synthetic paper has good waterproof performance, even if it encounters liquid or moisture will not affect its performance.

Wear resistance and scratch resistance: The surface of synthetic paper is hard and not easy to be scratched or worn, which is suitable for use in occasions where frequent contact or friction is required.

Cons:

Higher cost: Compared to coated paper, the price of synthetic paper is usually higher.

Relatively poor environmental protection: although synthetic paper can also be recycled, the chemical raw materials and processing processes that may be used in its production may have a certain impact on the environment.

Sum up

If you need to make label paper for indoor use, with high printing requirements and cost sensitivity, coated paper may be a better choice. And if you need to make outdoor use, need to waterproof and weather resistant label paper, or need label paper with better wear resistance and scratch resistance, then synthetic paper may be more suitable for your needs. Of course, the specific choice depends on your specific application scenario and budget.
