Choosing the wrong label material can render your branding pointless. Discover 5 types of products and the most suitable QUANTAC® sticker material for each.
A product label is more than just a sticker. It is the first impression a prospective buyer sees even before they read a single word about your product. And one of the most common mistakes among is choosing a label material that does not match the type of product and its conditions of use. The result? Labels peel, fade, or look cheap, even though the design is already good. The problem is not the design. The problem lies in the choice of material.
In this article, DSI summarizes the 5 most common types of products along with the most suitable QUANTAC® label material recommendation for each.
1. Food & Beverage - QUANTAC® Glossy Sticker

Food and beverage products are the category with the biggest labeling challenge: exposure to water, oil splashes, temperature changes from the fridge to room temperature, and wet consumer hands. The wrong label will not last.
QUANTAC® Glossy is the right solution for this category. Its bright, vivid surface makes product colors look fresh and appetizing, while its waterproof coating keeps the label firmly attached even in damp conditions.
- Waterproof and oil-resistant, does not smudge easily when splashed
- Vivid color reproduction, reds look redder, greens look greener

2. Skincare & Cosmetics - QUANTAC® Transparent Sticker

Handmade fashion and accessory products have a different character, here the label is part of the product's aesthetic itself.

4. Herbal & Supplements - QUANTAC® Kraft Sticker
QUANTAC® Kraft Application
Herbal products must convey two things at once: a natural and trustworthy impression while also carrying dense regulatory information such as the BPOM number, ingredients, and usage instructions. A design challenge that is not easy.
QUANTAC® Kraft comes with an organic earth-tone look that psychologically builds trust in natural-ingredient products right away, while its digital printing capability still ensures even the smallest text remains clearly legible.
