Clear PP labels: no-label look on glass and plastic
A clear label makes the design look printed straight onto the pack. It works on glass, PET and coloured bottles, with one technical condition: colours need an opaque white layer underneath, otherwise the pack shows through. We print both layers in the same digital pass.

FAQ
Common questions
CMYK inks are translucent. Without white underneath, the pack colour mixes into the design. Digital opaque white creates the base that makes colours match your approval.
Barely, when application is clean and bubble-free. On smooth glass the no-label look is nearly perfect; on textured surfaces the edge shows more.
Yes. Foil sits over the opaque white area, so the logo comes out metallic while the rest of the label stays clear.
