Here's what people are saying
Our standard clear matte inkjet-printable label material is a popular option for its versatility. Coupled with high-quality products and materials, clear matte labels can add a luxurious feel. That perception reigns true for clear matte labels used with invitations and upscale products and services as well. Think of our frosted matte label applied to a black background – it appears more wintery and formal than perhaps a glossy label would.
On the other hand, when paired with a pastel background, one is inclined to bring up associations of springtime and happiness. Consider using clear matte in this way for products that are warm and inviting such as cards, desserts, or children's toys.
And yet, matte labels can also be associated with organic, Earthy products. Their frosted appearance (versus the artificial shine of gloss labels) can be appealing to brands that wish to give their products a natural or unpolished look. You may see this a lot with organic food labels.
Overall, our clear matte labels for inkjet printers exude sophistication and add a touch of class to any product or project. The permanent adhesive will stick to most product materials including metal, plastic, and glass so you can use them as needed. Shop all clear labels for inkjet/laser printers.
Clear matte inkjet labels are best for inkjet users who want a subtle frosted look instead of a bright white label. They work well on packaging where the container color, product color, or background should show through softly. They are often used for jars, bottles, candles, cosmetics, and packaging with a clean, understated style.
Clear matte labels create a soft, translucent appearance on smooth glass or plastic. They do not usually disappear completely, so they are better for a frosted label effect than a nearly invisible look.
Most standard inkjet printers do not print white ink. Areas without ink will remain clear or frosted, and light colors may be hard to see on dark containers. If your design needs white elements on a clear label, consider the background color of the container or explore custom printing options.
Clear matte inkjet labels create a frosted, low-shine look, while clear gloss inkjet labels create a clearer, shinier look. Choose matte when you want a softer appearance or less glare. Choose gloss when you want the container to show through clearly.
