Forma Label

Choosing between BOPP and PET labels

A practical starting point: compare the container, application method and finish before choosing a label film.

Start with your container

A cylindrical beverage bottle and a shaped personal care bottle have different labeling needs. Record the container material, dimensions and application equipment before selecting a film.

Compare the format

BOPP wrap-around and self-adhesive PET are different label systems, not simply interchangeable materials. Discuss how the label will be applied and which areas of the package it needs to cover.

Test before you commit

Use the actual container and intended conditions to assess adhesion, appearance and compatibility. The supplier should confirm material details and any compliance requirements.
