For super clear applications you may need to upgrade to a clear on clear material. Some standard glassine backing papers affect the clear label material, hence when applying onto a clear container such as a bottle, the label may look scuffed or marked. Clear on clear labels are supplied on a clear PET backing, so are perfect for applications where a real ‘no label look’ is required.

Clear on Clear Labels FAQs

What are clear on clear labels?

Labelservice supplies clear on clear labels that are purpose built for a “no label” look. They achieve this by using ultra clear materials and adhesives that blend seamlessly into the surface of a product.

Where are clear on clear labels commonly used?

Clear on clear labels are perfect for the spirits industry, and especially on clear spirit bottles like gin or vodka. They also see use in cosmetics and various high end consumer goods. They can enhance the visual appeal of a product, making it appear more sophisticated or premium.

What are the main advantages of clear on clear labels?

The big advantage to using clear on clear labels is that they offer a sleek, modern look that has appeal to customers. They also allow for intricate and creative designs that don’t interfere or overly distract from the product’s appearance. They are also resistant to water, oil, and chemicals than more standard paper-based labels.

Are clear on clear labels printed on rolls or sheets?

Labelservice can print clear on clear labels on both rolls and sheets. Rolls are best used for high volume and automated labelling processes, sheets are ideal for manual labelling or for products produced in smaller batches.

Are there environmental options for clear on clear labels?

Label service has eco-friendly options for clear on clear labels. For example, we offer labels made from recyclable materials that can be processed and then reused, biodegradables and compostables that break down in the environment, and sustainable adhesives that are water based and made from natural sources. We can also use eco-friendly printing inks made from vegatable or soy with less VOCs. We also use thinner labels (which reduces raw material use and waste).

How do clear on clear labels achieve their transparency?

Labelservice uses ultra-clear polyester or polypropylene to create transparent labels. The adhesives are also specifically designed to spread evenly (sometimes called a “wet out”), which eliminates air bubbles and can create a glass-like finish, which can make the label almost invisible.

What should be considered when choosing eco-friendly clear on clear labels?

The best thing to do when choosing eco-friendly clear on clear labels is to look at certifications and standards like the FSC for sustainable sources materials. There are also separate certifications for compostable materials (ASTM D6400). Suppliers making sustainability claims don’t just take into account the labels construction, but also disposal and recycling – we pride ourselves on this at Labelservice.

Are there any technical considerations for printing and applying clear on clear labels?

Printing on clear on clear labels does need some specialised equipment and techniques, most commonly UV printing to get ink to adhere properly to a non-porous surface. The printing techniques have to be precise to prevent bubbles and misalignment. This is often why clear on clear labels tend to be pricier, as they need high tech printing and materials to get the best results.

Labelservice provides sophisticated clear on clear labels that will boost your products appeal while remaining sustainable and eco-friendly.
