What is BOPP and Why It’s the Label Material Everyone Loves

BOPP might sound technical, but it’s the unsung hero behind thousands of beautiful, durable product labels. It’s what gives candles, food jars, beverage cans, and cosmetic packaging that professional, long-lasting look you see on store shelves.

At Jukebox, we use BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene) for our Roll Labels because it delivers the best balance of quality, versatility, and speed. Whether you’re a small business or a national brand, BOPP labels make your products look polished, last longer, and arrive faster, often in as little as two days.

What Exactly Is BOPP?

BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene, but you don’t need a science degree to appreciate it. It’s a thin, flexible film made by stretching polypropylene in two directions, giving it exceptional strength and clarity.

The result is a smooth, durable label material that resists tearing, water, oil, and humidity. Because it’s applied in rolls, BOPP is easy to print in bulk or in small runs and works perfectly for both hand application and automatic labeling machines.

Why Brands Love BOPP (and Why We Do Too)

1. Built for Everyday Durability

BOPP labels are water resistant, oil resistant, and long lasting, ideal for food packaging, drink cans, beauty products, and candles. They hold up to moisture, condensation, and refrigeration, staying smooth and legible no matter where your product goes.

Handles Heat and Cold With Ease

The BOPP film used in Jukebox Roll Labels performs in both hot and cold environments. It’s rated for a service temperature range of –40°C to +120°C (–40°F to +248°F) and maintains adhesion even through sudden temperature changes.

That means your labels stay put and your artwork stays sharp on everything from refrigerated drinks and frozen foods to candle jars and bath products. The film also has excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and UV light, so your labels won’t fade, peel, or smudge.

These temperature specs come from the same Avery Dennison material sheets used in Jukebox production, ensuring consistent performance from small custom runs to large manufacturing orders.

2. Perfect for Creatives, Makers, and Manufacturers

Whether you’re a small business selling hand-poured candles or a large manufacturer producing thousands of beverage bottles, BOPP works for you. At Jukebox, we can produce small quantities or large runs without compromising quality, so you get premium results that fit your scale.

3. Any Shape Without Setup Costs

This is where Jukebox stands out. You can have BOPP labels made in any custom shape without the expensive setup fees that traditional die cutting requires. Whether you need rounded edges, a unique silhouette, or a label that wraps seamlessly around your product, we make it simple and cost effective.

4. Choose Matte or Gloss Finishes

All of our BOPP Roll Labels include a protective coating for even more durability.

• Matte BOPP has a soft, luxury finish that feels smooth and understated.

• Gloss BOPP makes colors pop with a vibrant shine that stands out on shelves.

Both finishes add an extra layer of protection against scuffs and moisture.

5. Fast Turnaround (Just 2 Days)

Approve your proof by 10 AM PST and your BOPP Roll Labels ship the next business day. Most customers receive their labels in two days or less. We’re known for speed and quality, so your order moves quickly from proof to print to packaging.

6. Designed for Every Surface

BOPP’s thin, flexible film sticks beautifully to flat or curved surfaces. It’s perfect for jars, bottles, tins, and boxes, giving that seamless printed-on look that makes your products stand out on shelves.
