Paper
A natural material made from wood or pulp. Paper used in printing is categorized by basis weight and grade, offering a range of options depending on durability and finishing requirements.
Film
A synthetic, plastic-based material known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to moisture and environmental conditions.
Foil
A thin layer of aluminum or alloy. Commonly used to enhance visual appeal and add a premium finish.
Tags
Typically produced from thicker paper stock and ideal for non-pressure sensitive applications or hang tags.
Tape
Constructed with a paper or film top layer and a flexible adhesive backing, tape materials are used in a variety of labeling and bonding applications.
Static Cling
Made from vinyl face stock, static cling materials do not require pressure-sensitive adhesive. Instead, they adhere through static, making them ideal for temporary or repositionable applications.
