Labels adhere best to smooth, hard surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s an unwind or rewind direction?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The unwind or rewind direction is crucial for roll labels that are applied by a machine. It refers to the orientation of the labels on the liner. The machine will designate how to correctly load the roll with the necessary orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-heading\">Can you add coating to the labels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. We offer gloss or matte laminate, which protects your labels and adds a professional finish. Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/specialty-features\/uv-coating-vs-laminate\">Coating vs. Laminate<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-heading\">Do you have water-resistant label printing options?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add a laminate to labels to create a water-resistant barrier, but that will not make your labels fully waterproof. Laminate is available in gloss or matte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-heading\">Are there special requirements for food labels or cosmetic labels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The FDA has specific requirements for labeling foods and cosmetics.
