Waterproof labels for products that meet water

Labels on bathroom products, chilled drinks and cleaning bottles face conditions a dry-shelf label never does. Waterproof labels are chosen for products that spend time in showers, fridges, ice buckets or wash-down areas, where the branding still needs to look presentable and the details need to stay readable. This page offers rectangular, square, round and die cut formats.

Who uses waterproof labels

  • Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bath products
  • Craft beer, wine, kombucha and bottled drinks kept on ice
  • Sauces, dips and dairy stored in the fridge
  • Cleaning and garden products
  • Nursery plant pots and outdoor stock
  • Reusable bottles and lunch containers

Describe the conditions, not just the product

Waterproof means different things to different buyers. A label on a shower bottle faces steam and soap, a label on a beer in an esky sits in melted ice all afternoon, and a label on a cleaning spray may meet chemicals. Tell us what the label will be exposed to, the container material and whether the product is refrigerated or frozen, and we will recommend a suitable material in your quote.

Application tips

Adhesive needs a clean, dry surface to grip, so apply labels before containers are filled with cold product or washed. Avoid labelling over condensation, press firmly from the centre outwards, and give labels time to settle before they meet water.

Soap and skincare makers may also want to browse cosmetic labels, and drinks producers beverage labels. If you apply labels by machine, roll labels cover the roll specifications you will need to provide.

Questions

Waterproof Labels FAQs

Which products usually need waterproof labels?

Anything that meets water in normal use: drinks kept in ice buckets or eskies, shampoo and body wash stored in the shower, sauces and dairy in the fridge, cleaning sprays, nursery plant pots and reusable drink bottles. If your product is wiped down, washed or handled with wet hands, it belongs on the list too.

What conditions should I describe in a waterproof label quote?

Say what kind of water contact is involved, such as splashes, steam, condensation or sitting in melted ice. Mention oils or chemicals, refrigeration or freezing, and whether containers get washed. Add the container material, for example glass, PET, squeezable plastic or metal. With that, we will recommend a material rather than guess.

Should I pick waterproof labels or waterproof stickers?

Waterproof labels are meant for retail products and containers that carry branding or product details. Waterproof stickers are the better category for drink bottles, coolers, gear and giveaways that people carry around. If you are unsure which one describes your job, explain the item in your quote request.

Can waterproof labels go on squeezable bottles?

Squeezable plastic flexes every time the product is used, which puts extra stress on a label. Mention squeeze bottles or soft tubes in your quote request, along with the product inside, and we will suggest a material intended for flexible containers. Check the label size against the flat area of the bottle before approving your proof.
