Paper or plastic labels (PP/PE): when do I choose which?

Paper labels are often a cost-effective choice for dry conditions and applications that do not require high resistance to tearing or moisture. Plastic labels, such as PP and PE, are generally more resistant to moisture and tearing. For outdoor use or contact with cleaning agents we assess the label as a whole: material, adhesive, printing and any protective coating.
