Use White Ink to Create Vibrant Prints on Transparent Labels

White ink is a critical component to consider in the production of labels, especially if showcasing your artwork in a sharp and opaque manner is a top priority. In this short article, we’ll walk you through how to address whether white ink is needed when ordering printed roll labels.

What is white ink?

White ink is, quite simply, just that! White ink is an exclusive perk incorporated into our roll label printing technology, allowing us to meet demands such as color matching and ultimately produce an optimal final print. We place white ink underneath your design to provide a base layer for areas of your artwork to print fully opaque. We suggest uploading a print-ready file (preferably AI files) for labels requiring white ink. This makes it easier for our designers to accurately meet your request(s).

How will white ink appear on my label?

The utilization and appearance of white ink depends on the look you are trying to achieve and the nature of your label. Failure to utilize white ink in select areas of your artwork will result in these being printed as semi-transparent or metallic (depending on the label material chosen). The following visuals illustrate of how your label will look both with and without the use of white ink:White ink appearance help diagram
