Flexible packaging like pouches and soft bags are widely used in the food industry, but they present unique labeling challenges:
✔️Curved or flexible surfaces make it harder for labels to stay flat
✔️Low-energy plastic films often resist standard adhesives
✔️Moisture, oil, and cold exposure require durable label materials
As a printing factory, we help you choose the right combination of film material, adhesive type, and printing method to make sure your labels stay on and look great—even under tough conditions.
| Material | Features |
|---|---|
| PP (polypropylene) film | Water- and oil-resistant, flexible and suitable for most pouch materials |
| PET film | Excellent durability and cold resistance, for frozen or refrigerated items |
| White or transparent film | For full-color or clear-background designs |
| Writable matte paper | Optional for date/batch coding, but not ideal for wet/oily surfaces |
Most food brands choose film labels for pouch use due to better durability and adhesion.
Depending on your pouch material (e.g., PE, foil, laminated film), we offer:
✔️High-tack adhesive – Sticks to low-energy plastic films
✔️Freezer-grade adhesive – For frozen or refrigerated products
✔️Standard permanent adhesive – For general dry snacks or room-temperature products
✔️Removable options – Available upon request for temporary use
We test adhesive compatibility with your packaging type—just tell us what you’re using.

✔️Transparent, white ink, or metallic effects

Q: Will the label stick to plastic or laminated pouch film?
A: Yes. We offer adhesives specially formulated for soft film packaging like PE, PET, and laminated bags.
Q: Will the label stay flat on curved or puffy bags?
A: Yes. We use flexible film materials that conform to pouch surfaces without peeling or bubbling.
Q: Can I apply these before freezing or refrigeration?
A: Yes. We provide freezer-grade adhesives and water-resistant materials for cold-chain applications.
Q: Can I get a small batch for testing?
A: Absolutely. Samples and small production runs are available for quality checking.
