Opaque labels

What to do when we want to cover something with a label? The solution is COVER labels that cover. OPAQUE labels are opaque, non-transparent. They are also called covering labels. These labels have a black/gray/blue/pink color on the adhesive side. The most commonly used top material is white glossy uncoated paper but unfortunately paper is not resistant to weather conditions and in such cases we use OPAQUE films. Due to the higher price, PE polyethylene film is rarely used as a covering label and PP polypropylene film is more often used. Customers require adhesive with very good cohesion and initial adhesion so that it is difficult to peel off from the surface. There are no biodegradable films. COVER labels are supposed to cover various surfaces and therefore samples should be tested. The most difficult materials to cover are cardboard boxes because their composition or the varnish they are coated with is unknown, they may contain substances (plasticizers or silicones) that make it difficult to stick them, they may cause deactivation of the adhesive over time.

In the picture, the first example of a standard paper label. As you can see, it is transparent, with the inscription CISOWIANKA perlage on the bottle. Foil labels that do not shine through in order from cheapest to most expensive:
