Coated Paper (Couché)
Smooth and shiny surface. Maximum print quality. Ideal for cosmetics, wines, gourmet products and high-image promotional labels.
Textured and Premium Paper
Handcrafted texture projecting exclusivity. For wines, oils, spirits, and products with a premium image. Combines with hot stamping and embossing.
Greaseproof paper
Resistant to animal and vegetable fats. Essential for labelling meats, cheeses, snacks and any food products with a high fat content.
White Polypropylene (PP)
Very versatile. Resistant to water, humidity, and chemical agents. Ideal for plastic packaging, cleaning products, cosmetics, and labels that require wash resistance.
Clear Polypropylene (PP)
«No-label look» effect: the label appears to be printed directly onto the packaging. Perfect for glass jars, plastic bottles, and premium products where the contents are the star.
Polyester (PET)
Greater resistance than PP. Withstands high temperatures, aggressive solvents and intense mechanical abrasion. Industrial use: automotive, household appliances, electrical and chemical equipment.
Thermal paper
Inkless: changes colour with heat. For direct thermal printers. Ideal for shipping labels, barcodes, delivery notes and logistical picking.
Metallized Materials
A shiny silver or gold effect on the holder. They provide an image of luxury and exclusivity. Perfect for perfumery, high-end cosmetics, and premium food products.

Technical considerations
Key factors for choosing the right support
Packaging type and surface
Glass, plastic, metal, cardboard or film. Each surface has a distinct surface energy that determines which adhesive and substrate will work correctly.
Terms of use and storage
Temperature, humidity, UV light exposure, contact with greases or chemicals. The usage environment defines the minimum material required to guarantee durability.
Desired visual finish
Not all substrates support all finishes. Hot stamping requires coated or laid paper; no-label look requires transparent PP or PET.
Ink compatibility
Each substrate requires specific inks. Plastics (PP, PET) need UV or solvent-based inks; paper accepts aqueous inks with a wider colour gamut.
Volume and application method
Roll for automatic or semi-automatic application, sheet or plate for manual application. The supply format must be adapted to your production line.
Industry regulations
Food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals have specific regulations concerning materials in contact with the product. We advise you on the compliance of each support.
