Can I write on the label after printing?

Yes, if you leave an unlaminated area. On the matte surface pen and permanent marker hold without smearing.

Can matte film go over matte paper?

Yes, and it is a good combination when you need rub protection without losing the glare-free look.

Does it hold in the fridge?

Not recommended. Condensation swells the paper fibre. For chilled use, matte white PP looks nearly identical and does not fail.

MATERIAL

Matte paper labels: restrained look, no glare

Matte paper is the pick when you want the product to read calm rather than loud. It does not bounce shelf light, takes pen writing and makes hot foil or embossing stand out.
