Why Semi-Gloss Paper Is The Best Choice for Food, Cosmetic, And Express Labels？

In industrial labeling and packaging workflows, the material chosen plays a critical role in both processing efficiency and final product quality. Semi gloss paper, often referred to as mirror coated paper, is a commonly selected substrate for labeling needs in sectors such as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), cosmetics, beverages, and express logistics. With its moderate surface gloss on one side, it ensures dependable printability while maintaining physical stability. The combination of visual clarity and operational adaptability makes it a preferred option for long-run printing and automatic labeling systems.

Material Overview: Art Paper Meets Release Paper

Semi-gloss paper is crafted from art paper combined with a release liner, providing strength, excellent printability, and smooth application. The face stock, made from art paper, allows for rich color and crisp detail. The release paper—available in Yellow, White, and Blue Glassine, White Kraft, and CCK—ensures clean and accurate label dispensing.
