BOPP Shipping Labels for Moisture-Resistant Performance

In the fast-paced world of food service, delivering products safely and on time is only half the battle. Ensuring that shipping labels stay intact and readable—even in high-moisture environments—is just as critical. That’s why more food distributors, meal kit companies, and cold chain logistics providers are turning to BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) labels for their shipping and packaging needs.

The Challenge: Labels That Fail in Transit

Whether you're shipping frozen proteins, fresh produce, or pre-packaged meals, condensation, ice packs, and cold storage can wreak havoc on standard paper labels. Smudging, tearing, and peeling labels lead to:

• Lost packages

• Delayed deliveries

• Customer dissatisfaction

• Compliance issues

When barcode scanners can’t read a damaged label, or addresses become illegible, your entire logistics operation suffers.

The Solution: BOPP Labels Built for Food Logistics

BOPP shipping labels are engineered to withstand the toughest conditions in food service transportation. Here’s why they outperform traditional paper labels:

• Water & moisture resistance: BOPP doesn’t absorb water, making it ideal for cold and refrigerated shipping environments.

• Tear resistance: These labels won’t rip or degrade when handled roughly or exposed to cold.

• Excellent print quality: BOPP labels retain sharp, smudge-free printing, critical for scanning barcodes and reading addresses clearly.

• Adhesive options: Paired with the right permanent or freezer-grade adhesive, BOPP labels stay put through condensation and rough handling.
