Waterproof Labels
Waterproof labels are essential for Ontario businesses needing durable, professional labelling solutions that withstand moisture exposure without compromising appearance or adhesion. In Canada's variable climate—from humid summers to refrigerated storage—standard paper labels often fail, leading to smudged text, peeling edges, or complete detachment. Lux Label Labs' waterproof film labels solve this challenge with materials engineered for resilience, ensuring your product maintains its premium presentation through condensation, splashes, and real-world handling. Whether you're bottling craft beverages in Hamilton, formulating skincare in Toronto, or packaging refrigerated foods across Ontario, these labels protect your brand integrity while meeting Canadian labelling standards.
Key Features & Benefits
- True moisture resistance: BOPP film repels water, oils, and condensation without swelling or discolouration—ideal for products stored in damp environments or exposed to temperature shifts
- Scuff & fade protection: UV-resistant coating prevents ink deterioration from sunlight exposure and handling abrasion during shipping or retail display
- Flexible adhesion: Strong permanent adhesive bonds securely to curved surfaces (like bottles) and low-energy materials (including plastics) without bubbling
- Professional finish options: Crisp white or crystal-clear finishes with matte/gloss choices to complement your branding—no paper-like texture
- Eco-conscious durability: Long-lasting performance reduces label replacement waste compared to paper alternatives in high-moisture applications
Best Applications
Our waterproof labels excel where moisture resistance is non-negotiable. Ontario craft breweries and distilleries rely on them for condensation-prone beer bottles and spirit jars. Skincare and cosmetic brands trust them for shampoo bottles, lotion containers, and bath products that face shower humidity. Food producers use them on refrigerated items like dairy containers, meal prep jars, and frozen food packaging. They're equally effective for:
• Outdoor product labelling (gardening supplies, cleaning chemicals)
• Healthcare items requiring wipe-down sanitation
• Industrial lubricants and automotive fluids
• Any product stored near sinks, freezers, or in uncontrolled humidity environments
Material Comparison
Choosing the right label material matters. Here’s how waterproof film compares to common alternatives:
- Paper labels: Cost-effective for dry environments but disintegrate when wet—unsuitable for beverages or refrigerated goods. Our waterproof film costs slightly more but prevents costly relabelling.
- Vinyl labels: Extremely durable but often over-engineered for most applications. Our BOPP film offers comparable moisture resistance at lower cost with easier recyclability.
- Standard film labels: Some competitors use thinner films prone to tearing. Lux Label Labs uses premium 3.2 mil BOPP for optimal flexibility and tear strength without stiffness.
Tip: For extreme conditions (submersion, chemical exposure), ask about our specialty film options via custom quote request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these labels go in dishwashers or be submerged?
While highly water-resistant, prolonged submersion (e.g., dishwasher cycles) may compromise adhesion over time. For dishwasher-safe requirements, request our specialty marine-grade film during quoting.
Do you offer eco-friendly waterproof options?
Yes—our standard BOPP film is recyclable through flexible plastic programs. For compostable alternatives, explore our Label Materials Guide (note: compostable films have slightly reduced moisture resistance).
Will the ink run if the label gets wet?
Never. We use industrial-grade pigment inks that bond permanently to the film surface during printing, resisting smudging even when saturated.
Can I order samples before committing?
Absolutely. Request material swatches via quote request to test adhesion and finish on your specific product containers.
