Metallic Gold Sticker Material Details
The gold foil inkjet material is a metalized paper with a permanent adhesive. It has a shiny, reflective surface that adds an elegant or decorative look to any product or project. They're great for printing logos, text, and designs, as well as marketing premium products, formal events and celebrations, and packaging.
Our metallic gold labels can also be used as blockout stickers. When placed over existing text, colors, or imagery, nothing will show through. Light can't pass through this material, so while it looks normal from the top, it's masking underlying prints. This blockout technology is also referred to as opaque labels and is popular for covering up outdated or irrelevant information like incorrect address or return address labels.
