Classification and Application of BOPP Synthetic Label Paper

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) synthetic label paper, also known as biaxially oriented polypropylene film label paper, has been widely used in the fields of packaging and labeling due to its excellent physical properties, printing properties, and barrier properties. The following is a detailed introduction to the classification and application of BOPP synthetic label paper:

1、 Classification

Classified by purpose:

Light film: Ordinary BOPP film, with the largest usage, has the characteristics of waterproofing, brightness, and protection of printed content. It is widely used in various printing, food, and item packaging.

Matte film: Matte film that achieves extinction effect by absorbing and scattering light, commonly used in high-end packaging such as boxed food.

Pearl film: It is mostly a 3-layer co extruded stretch film with a heat sealing layer, presenting a white, semi transparent pearl effect. It is commonly used for product packaging that requires light avoidance, such as ice cream, chocolate packaging, and beverage bottle labels.

Aluminum plated film: A thin layer of metallic aluminum is coated on the surface of plastic film, which has a metallic luster and is mainly used for drying, puffing food packaging, as well as outer packaging of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

Laser film: Domestic production is limited and requires certain production technology. It is commonly used for anti-counterfeiting and decorative packaging of high-end products, such as cigarette, drug, and food packaging boxes.

Classified by color:

Synthetic paper (muted white): with a muted white color tone, commonly used for specific label requirements.

Pearl film: It has a pearl effect, as introduced earlier.

Bright silver BOPP: With a bright silver color tone, it is commonly used for labels that require a metallic texture.

Transparent BOPP: It has high transparency and is commonly used to display items inside packaging.

Laser film: It has a special laser luster and is commonly used for anti-counterfeiting and decoration.

2、 Application

Retail stores: BOPP synthetic label paper is commonly used for printing price tags, promotional information tags, etc. These tags need to be updated quickly and accurately to reflect real-time prices or promotional information of goods.

Logistics industry: BOPP synthetic label paper is widely used for printing express waybills, transportation labels, etc. These labels need to withstand various environmental conditions during transportation, such as moisture, friction, etc.

In the medical field, BOPP synthetic label paper can be used to print drug labels, patient information labels, etc. These labels need to have extremely high clarity and durability to ensure the accuracy of medical information.

Catering industry: BOPP synthetic label paper can be used to print menus, orders, etc. These printed products need to be quickly generated and have a certain degree of durability to cope with harsh environments such as kitchens.

E-commerce: BOPP synthetic label paper is widely used for printing shipping orders, return orders, etc. These documents require clear and accurate recording of transaction information for customers and merchants to verify.

In addition, BOPP synthetic label paper is widely used in label production for products such as shampoo, bath products, daily chemical laundry detergent, cosmetics, skin care, etc. Due to its high transparency and good glossiness, it can enhance the overall visual effect and grade of the products.

In summary, BOPP synthetic label paper has a wide range of applications in multiple fields due to its excellent physical properties, printing performance, and barrier properties. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of the market, the application scope of BOPP synthetic label paper will continue to expand.
