Gloss & Adhesive

Adhesive Paper High Gloss

80gsm

Bright white paper with a mirror-like gloss face and a permanent adhesive. Vivid colour for logos, product labels, seals and giveaways. Paper, not film, so keep it dry and indoors; for damp or much-handled items choose a polyester film.

Gloss

FSC
130gsm170gsm250gsm300gsm

A smooth coated paper with a bright, high-shine surface. Photographs and bold colours look vivid and punchy, which makes it a popular choice for booklet pages, flyers and leaflets.

Premium Polyester Film Gloss Clear

71gsm

A premium clear polyester film with a permanent adhesive that lets the surface show through. It resists water and oil better than paper. Best for dark designs on glass jars, bottles and light packaging. We print without white ink, so anything white in your design prints clear, pale colours and photos look see-through, and the design is hard to see on a dark surface. For white lettering, photos or dark surfaces, choose Matt White film. The sticker is then white, not clear, and white lettering needs a coloured background around it.

Premium Polyester Film Gloss White

72gsm

A premium gloss white polyester film with a removable adhesive. Bright, vivid colour, and a good choice for photos and designs with white in them. Tougher than paper, it resists water and handling, and can come off smooth surfaces later. Not for rough surfaces or PVC; for a permanent label choose Matt White film.

Premium Polyester Film Gloss White, Easy Peel

72gsm

Our premium gloss white polyester film with a permanent adhesive, on a crack-back liner: the backing is scored, so you bend the sheet and each sticker lifts away in one move. Bright, vivid colour and a good choice for photos. Tougher than paper, it resists water and handling. Our print is not laminated, so ask us before long outdoor use.

Matt & Vinyl

Glare-free finishes and durable vinyls for displays and labelling.

Premium Polyester Film Matt White

75gsm

A premium matt white polyester film with a permanent adhesive and a low-glare face. Tougher than paper, it resists water, oil and tearing. Best for bottles, jars, toiletries and equipment labels. Our print is not laminated, so ask us before long outdoor use.

Premium Polyester Film Matt White, Easy Peel

75gsm

Our premium matt white polyester film on a crack-back liner: the backing is scored, so you bend the sheet and each sticker lifts away in one move. Quicker when you apply a lot by hand. Permanent adhesive and a low-glare face; tougher than paper, it resists water, oil and tearing. Our print is not laminated, so ask us before long outdoor use.

White Vinyl Matt Finish

137gsm

White matt vinyl, 70 micron, with a permanent adhesive. Low glare, for the outside of shop windows, glass doors and smooth signs.

A chunky 16mm recycled-fibre board with real presence — lightweight for its depth, with a clean white face for free-standing displays.

Xanita Board 6mm

Best for light to medium duty eco standees and indoor displays. Moderate to high strength: stiffer than card and great for cut-outs and sustainable displays, though a 6 ft standee benefits from a rear fold-out strut. Premium, clean paper faces with smooth edges. 100% eco-friendly: fully recyclable in standard paper waste streams.
