What are Metallic Stickers and Labels?
Metallic stickers and labels are bespoke, foil-finish adornments that add undeniable luxury to any product or item. Shimmering and reflective, metallic stickers and labels are crafted from the highest-quality materials for an eye-catching aesthetic that always grabs attention.
Benefits of Metallic Stickers and Labels
The benefits of metallic stickers and labels are numerous. Not only are they hugely versatile for almost any use-case, but they also add an element of uniqueness that is guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
Plus, the shiny metal effect is closely associated with luxury, especially with the likes of gold and silver finishes. This makes them an effective way to enhance the perceived quality of your brand.
Metallic stickers and labels are not just good for looks, though. They also come complete with full waterproof, UV resistant and tear-resistant properties, making them ideal for almost any kind of storage or usage conditions.
Types of Metallic Stickers and Labels
Gold Stickers and Labels
Gold metallic stickers and labels add an element of opulence to a product that is hard to replicate. As gold is associated with total luxury, these stickers are ideal for high-end products that are destined to make a statement on any shelf.
Silver Stickers and Labels
Silver stickers and labels are a classic option that never goes out of style. Minimalistic and trendy, these stickers are perfect for people who want to add a touch of monochromatic excellence to their products.
Multi-Colour Metallic Stickers and Labels
To add a splash of colour to any product, our multi-colour metallic stickers and labels could be the ones for you. With specialist metallic inks, we can print virtually any colour with a foil effect, meaning you can make any logo, text or image pop with a metallic shine.
Materials and Finish Options for Metallic Stickers & Labels
Metallic Vinyl
Metallic vinyl stickers and labels are crafted from hard-wearing polypropylene, which not only allows them to be extremely durable and tear-resistant, but also water, weather and UV resistant too. These stickers and labels are great for products that might be stored outdoors, come into contact with liquids, or get frequently handled by users.
Laminated Finish
Lamination adds an extra layer of protection to your stickers and labels, making them all the more hard-wearing and durable. Not only does lamination make stickers look even more glossy, but it also increases their lifespan, especially when scratching or abrasion might be an issue.
Gloss Finish
Glossy finishes, similarly to that of laminated finishes, add another coating of protection from the elements. While metallic stickers already have a striking aesthetic, the added sparkle of gloss takes things to a whole new level.
Application and Use of Metallic Stickers and Labels
Use of Metallic Stickers and Labels for Product Labelling
One of the most common uses of metallic stickers and labels is for product labelling. Almost every product requires a label displaying ingredients, allergens and other essential information, which is where the stickers and labels can display these in metallic colour.
Application of Metallic Stickers and Labels on Different Surfaces
We typically recommend the use of a handheld label applicator, which can make for a smoother, more effortless process. However, stickers and labels can also be easily applied by hand.
When it comes to the application of metallic labels, precision is everything. The adhesive used on the back of our labels is designed for longevity, so do not press down until you have the label in the exact position you desire.
Once you do this, hold each side of the sticker or label with each hand, and press down firmly in the middle of the label. Smooth the sides down evenly, and work your way out from the centre to eliminate any air bubbles.
Metallic Stickers and Labels for Marketing/Promotional Materials
Utilising metallic stickers and labels for marketing and promotional purposes can be an effective way to spread brand awareness.
For example, if an office-based company was heading to a conference or career fair, equipping themselves with reusable bottles, pens, notebooks, coffee mugs and more - adorned with personalised stickers or labels - they could give them out to potential clients and customers. And with the metallic foil effect, they will be even better at drawing attention while enhancing brand quality.
