Does White BOPP material have a natural gloss finish, or do I need gloss lamination?

White BOPP is a durable, water-resistant white plastic film that is popular for stickers and labels. Its surface is smooth but not high gloss on its own, so the finish depends on whether you add a laminate.

• Uncoated BOPP: a clean, low-sheen look straight off the press.
• Gloss lamination: adds the shiny, reflective finish most people picture when they say glossy, plus extra scuff and moisture protection.
• Matte or silk lamination: keeps glare down for a softer, more premium feel.

So if a glossy look is the goal, plan to add gloss lamination rather than relying on the bare film.
