Blockout / Opaque Labels

Blockout Labels, also known as Opaque Labels, are designed to completely obscure underlying surfaces or content. They are ideal for situations where you need to cover up existing information or prevent it from showing through the label. 

Whether you need to cover sensitive information, boost security, or maintain brand integrity, Blockout Labels are the way to go. At Labelservice, we understand the importance of clarity and discretion in labelling needs. Hence, we are dedicated to delivering top-tier blackout labels that guarantee 100% obfuscation of any existing information, giving you a tidy, professional finish every time.

Yes, our labels are designed to completely block out colourful prints or images underneath. We utilise high-quality paper/synthetic face materials and advanced printing techniques to ensure our labels provide flawless opacity.

Furthermore, we have the capability to produce bespoke opaque labels that perfectly match the colour you intend to apply them to. This ensures complete coverage, leaving no trace of the label once applied.

Absolutely! Our blockout labels are perfect for concealing old or mistakenly applied labels. We designed our blinding labels to be thin enough to seamlessly blend over existing labels without adding bulk or thickness. 

Besides, their strong adhesive guarantees a secure hold, preventing any shifting or peeling over time. Even when your product package undergoes scanning via lasers, there’s no need to worry, as our labels provide impenetrable coverage.

Our labels are available on both paper and synthetic face materials, each offering its own set of benefits. When it comes to weatherproofing, our synthetic face materials excel. Engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, these materials provide superior durability and resilience against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations. 

Whether you opt for paper or synthetic labels, you can trust that our products are designed to maintain their integrity and legibility. The labels will remain clear, readable, and securely adhered to, even in challenging environments. 

For our cover-up labels, we use a premium-grade acrylic-based adhesive specifically formulated for this application. This adhesive is designed to provide strong adhesion to various surfaces, ensuring that the labels stay securely in place once applied. 

Additionally, it acts as a layer of opacity to strengthen the label’s performance by blocking out any underlying text or graphics. Our adhesive is also resistant to moisture, oils, and other environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Certainly! Our opaque labels can be customised to feature your logo or branding, whether you prefer plain labels or bespoke printing. Select from a variety of materials, including paper and synthetic face materials, to suit your needs. 

Additionally, choose from backing options such as black, blue, or silver to complement your design. With our digital printing capabilities, you can also incorporate variable coding, copy, and imagery, ensuring your labels meet your exact specifications.

We’re pleased to mention that our blockout or blinding labels are suitable for application on almost all varieties of surfaces commonly found in the UK. From paper, cardboard, plastic, and glass to metal, they adhere perfectly to most materials.

Additionally, our labels are made with a premium acrylic-based adhesive layer. This strong adhesion ensures secure placement even if they are roughly handled or if the product to which they are applied falls.

Our Blockout Labels come with a selection of backing colours to cater to different requirements and tastes. We have available collection of classic colours like black, blue, and silver backing. 

These colours are chosen meticulously to guarantee full coverage and opacity, effectively hiding any underlying images or labels. Moreover, we have the capability to produce custom backing upon request.
