Recycling
Label, Finish & Adhesive
As the label is made from Polypropylene it is suitable for normal recycling when uncoated, with gloss varnish or laminate finishes (which are Polypropylene based). The adhesive is removed in the recycling process.
Backing Release Paper
This can be recycled by using a specialist process which “washes off” the silicone or other release agent allowing the pulp to be recycled. Only specialised recyclers can do this, and you would need to check with your recycling authority. Sticker Gizmo is Certified Zero Label Waste to Landfill, so all our label waste is recycled in this way.

Metallic Stickers & Labels

rial is an ideal option for luxury product labels and general use stickers. With our indry flexible colour options – from any metallic colours and white ink. Find out how to we print our metallic labels & stickers below.

What is our metallic vinyl made from?

Like all our other vinyl materials, the metallic vinyl is a polypropylene based plastic film. Thanks to its special glossy surface treatment our metallic vinyl labels boast excellent print quality and durability. They are fully waterproof, recyclable, freezer proof and food safe making them ideal for all uses.

How do we print onto metallic vinyl?

The metallic vinyl has a shiny silver finish to it before being printed on. This gives us lots of flexibility in terms of colour and design as we can create any metallic shades by printing over the silver finish. We can also use white ink in a few interesting ways. White ink can be used to block out the metallic effect leaving a standard gloss finish. We can then print other colours on top of blocked out areas. In short this means you can choose to have any metallic colours on any part of the same design while also choosing which areas you don’t want to be metallic. White ink can also be printed on its own if its part of a label design.

Our team of experience graphic designers will be able to create the perfect stickers and labels for you. All orders include our proofing service where we will send a pdf proof showing exactly how your stickers will be cut, printed and supplied. We wont print anything until you are happy with it!

Artwork Tips

If you will be supplying your own artwork for metallic labels there’s a few things to note. Your artwork must be a vector file. Preferable file types are .ai, .eps and .pdf files. Vector files give us the best results when printing and allow us to ensure metallic labels print correctly. Find out more about vector files in our guide here. Artwork will also need a bleed of at least 3mm. In most cases we can add the bleed for you if required.
