Weatherproof Labels
We stock a broad range of weatherproof labels for challenging applications where the label needs to be resistant to weather, wind, and rain.
Quick Reference Guide to the 2 main types of weatherproof labels:
MWP: Less flexible weatherproof labels that offer good tear resistance and good weathering. Not compatible with inkjet printing methods.
MWPE: Flexible label that is easier to handle than MWP thanks to its resistance to static. MWPE labels conform to difficult shapes better than other waterproof labels and can be used with an inkjet printer.
What Is The Difference Between Polyester And Polyethylene Weatherproof Labels? Matt White Polyester (MWP) labels and Matt White Polyethylene (MWPE) labels are both waterproof labels for bottles that are suitable for a range of tough applications such as labelling chemicals, oil drums, containers, bottles, metal and surfaces exposed to the weather.

Adhesive Quality
When used on a clean, flat metal surface you would not notice much difference between MWPE and MWP weatherproof labels but on a very rough or chemically unusual surface, the difference is much more noticeable. MWPE has a more aggressive adhesive which means it will work far better in challenging conditions while MWP may struggle to stick in these conditions.
Printability
If you’re in need of waterproof stickers that are easy to print yet still durable then MWP is the most straightforward option for you and one that can be printed using a laser printer. MWPE labels are notably thicker than standard paper so it is important to set any printer to account for this. MWPE labels are compatible with inkjet printers but a trial would be recommended to confirm.
Usability
MWP labels do not stretch whereas MWPE weatherproof labels are more flexible, so depending on how you want your weatherproof labels to handle will decide on which characteristic you’d prefer. Handling-wise MWPE are generally considered to be easier to peel from the sheet and handle then MWP.
Applications
Both MWP and MWPE weatherproof gloss inkjet labels are suitable for a range of tough applications and some examples of these include: chemical drums, waterproof labels for bottles, exterior signs, agricultural use, garden centre labels, farm produce labels, white good serial labels and hundreds of other uses. MWPE labels can be fully submerged in water are designed for use on chemical drums and curved surfaces while MWP labels are resistant to a wider range of chemicals.
