Print a Label That Laughs at Water
A waterproof label keeps its color and its grip where a paper label wrinkles, because we print it on durable White Vinyl or a see-through Clear film that resists water, humidity and oil. You pick the size, the material, full color or black only and the quantity, and the price updates as you go. Standard waterproof labels start at $23.88 for 25 and earned a 5.0 out of 5 on their first review.
The White Vinyl reads opaque on a bottle or jar, while the Clear film gives a see-through no-label look on glass and plastic, and both hold up to condensation, splashes and refrigeration. To compare them with the rest of our labels, browse the full lineup on labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
A batch of 25 at $23.88 lets you put a label on a bottle, leave it in the fridge overnight and check it before you order the full run. At 10,000 labels each one costs under 6 cents. Tap any tier below to see the total at that count.
What Are Standard Waterproof Labels
Standard waterproof labels are custom labels you print on a water-resistant material, in 50 sizes from a .5" circle up to a 4.625" CD label, on your choice of 5 stocks. Instead of a paper label that wrinkles or smears the moment it gets wet, the Standard White Vinyl and Standard Clear film options hold their color and their grip through condensation, splashes, humidity and oil, so brands order them for bottles, jars and cleaning products. If you want the same durability on a heavier premium vinyl, the Premium Waterproof Labels cover that, and this standard version sits beside it as the everyday value pick.
What Size Should a Waterproof Label Be
Choose the size by what you are labeling. The smallest preset is a .5" circle, ideal for seals, caps, lids and price dots, and the presets climb through .75", 1", 1.25" and larger round sizes for jars, bottles and product tops. At the top of the list sits a 4.625" CD label. With 50 sizes to choose from, most jobs have a close match, and when none fits exactly, the custom option lets you set your own dimensions up to 6" x 5". All 50 sizes and every material are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
If your art is ready, set it on the blank for your size below: each one is drawn at the real trim with the bleed and safe margin marked. On a clear film label, leave the areas you want see-through empty in the file, since only the ink shows on the glass. Drop your art in and upload.

What Material Should You Print On
The material makes a label waterproof, so choose it first. For labels that live around water, reach for the Standard White Vinyl, an opaque synthetic stock, or the Standard Clear film, which gives a see-through look on glass and plastic. Both resist water, humidity and oil instead of wrinkling or smearing the way paper does. If the label does not need to survive a soaking, the Standard Hi-Gloss and Standard Semi-Gloss stocks add a coated sheen for brighter color, and the Standard Uncoated stock stays matte and takes pen. For a dedicated clear film, the Standard Clear Labels are a close pick, and for the opaque white stock on its own the Standard Vinyl Labels do the same job.
Full Color or Black Only
A waterproof label often carries two kinds of content: brand art on the front of a bottle and a batch code or ingredient panel on a jar in the fridge. Full 4 color suits the brand art, logos and photos. Black ink only prints crisp text and line art at a lower cost, for a warning notice, an ingredient panel or a batch code. Both options print on the same face and the same material you pick, so a black-only label on white vinyl is just as water-resistant as a full-color one. You set the ink in the configurator and the price updates to match.
How Much Do Standard Waterproof Labels Cost
A cold brew maker filling 300 bottles a month pays $65.97 for 300 labels, and a cleaning brand labeling 10,000 spray bottles pays $576.77, under 6 cents a label. Both start from the same $23.88 for 25, with tiers up to 25,000. Drag the slider below to set your count and watch the set total and the per-label cost change.
Wally keeps your label on through the wet
Why a $23.88 vinyl or clear label beats paper at the sink.
Standard waterproof labels print on white vinyl or clear film that shrugs off water, humidity, and oil, so your design stays sharp on bottles, jars, and coolers. Pick from 50 sizes, print full color or black, and Wally gets them out as fast as same day, from $23.88 for 25.
What Can You Use Waterproof Labels For
The vinyl and clear film resist moisture, so customers use this label in wet, cold and oily places. Beverage and water-bottle brands use them so the label survives an ice bath and condensation. Cleaning and chemical brands use them because the stock resists sprays and wipe-downs. Cosmetic, skincare and soap makers use them on products that live in a steamy bathroom. Food producers use them on jars and containers headed for the fridge or freezer. And with 50 sizes on hand, the same product covers a tiny cap seal, a round jar lid and a large front panel. For each of those jobs, choose vinyl or clear film, not paper.
How Do Standard Waterproof Labels Compare
This is our lowest priced waterproof label. If you are also looking at a heavier premium vinyl, a dedicated clear film or a plain white vinyl, the chart below puts the starting price of each next to this one.
How Fast Can You Get Waterproof Labels
Standard waterproof labels print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a bottling date or a launch sneaks up you can move to 2-day, Next-Day or Same-Day production out of our New York plant. Before anything prints, you can send the file straight to production, approve a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof to check the color on the stock in hand first. Same-Day orders need approval by the daily cutoff to ship that afternoon, so you only pay for speed when you truly need it.

Waterproof or Water Resistant, What Each Label Can Take
The two words get used for the same label, and the difference is how long the label stays wet. Water resistant means the face and the adhesive shrug off splashes, condensation and a damp wipe, then dry out with the print intact. Waterproof means the label keeps its color and its grip through a soak, an ice bath or a fridge, because there is no paper fiber to swell. On this page the Standard White Vinyl and the Standard Clear film are the stocks that do both: they are synthetic, the ink sits on a face that does not absorb, and the adhesive is made for glass and plastic. The three paper stocks, hi-gloss, semi-gloss and uncoated, are for labels that stay dry. If a label will live on a water bottle, a jar in the fridge or a spray bottle, pick vinyl or clear and it will still read the same a season later.
How to Print Your Own Water Resistant Labels
Set them up once and reorder the same file whenever a batch runs low.
- Size first. Pick from 50 presets, a .5" circle for caps and seals up to a 4.625" CD label, or enter a custom size up to 6" x 5".
- Then the stock. Standard White Vinyl for an opaque label that reads solid on any color of bottle, Standard Clear film for a no-label look on glass and clear plastic.
- Then the ink. Full 4 color for artwork and photos, or black only for an ingredient panel, a batch code or a warning label at a lower price.
- Then the run. 25 labels at $23.88 is the smallest order, 300 is $65.97, and 10,000 is $576.77, under 6 cents a label.
Upload the artwork, choose a free online proof or send it straight to production, and the labels print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, with 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush out of the New York plant. Apply them to a clean, dry surface before the product goes cold.
Standard Waterproof Labels: Frequently Asked Questions
Which of the materials are the actually waterproof ones?
Standard White Vinyl and Standard Clear film are the waterproof picks. The other three options, hi-gloss, semi-gloss and uncoated, are paper stocks that sit alongside them for jobs that stay dry. If water, humidity or oil is part of the environment, choose one of the two film stocks.
What is the difference between the white vinyl and the clear film?
White Vinyl is opaque, so your artwork reads clean and solid on a bottle, jar or crate regardless of what is behind it. Clear film gives a see-through no-label look on glass and plastic, where the container becomes the background. Both hold up to condensation, splashes and refrigeration.
Will these work on bottles that go in a cooler or a fridge?
Yes, both film stocks are made for exactly that, and they handle condensation and refrigeration without the curling a paper label shows. Apply the label to a dry, clean surface first, then chill the product, since adhesive does not grip a wet bottle.
How much do waterproof labels cost and how low can I start?
The minimum is 25 labels starting at $23.88. The price per label falls as the run climbs from 25 up to 25,000, reaching about 5 cents each at the top tier, so a test batch and a full production run share the same setup.
Can I see the price change before I order?
Yes. Size, material, ink and quantity are all set in the live configurator and the price updates as you change them, so you can compare a paper stock against vinyl or clear before committing. That makes it easy to see what the waterproof upgrade costs on your specific quantity.
What sizes and turnaround are available?
There are 50 sizes, from a 0.5 inch circle up to a 4.625 inch CD label, plus a custom option up to 6 inches by 5 inches. Standard turnaround is 3 business days, with 2 day, Next Day and Same Day rush; the product is rated 5.0 out of 5 in its first review.
What kind of labels are water-proof?
Labels printed on a synthetic face rather than paper: vinyl, polypropylene and clear polyester films. The face does not absorb water, so the ink stays put and the label does not swell, wrinkle or peel when it gets wet. On this page the Standard White Vinyl and the Standard Clear film are the two waterproof picks, and the hi-gloss, semi-gloss and uncoated stocks are paper for dry jobs.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant labels?
Water resistant labels survive splashes, condensation and a wipe down, then dry out with the print intact. Waterproof labels also survive being soaked, chilled or left wet, because the face and the adhesive are synthetic all the way through. The vinyl and clear film labels here do both, which is why they hold on cooler bottles and fridge jars.
Can I print my own waterproof labels?
Yes, on this page. Choose one of 50 sizes, pick Standard White Vinyl or Standard Clear film, set full color or black only, and enter a quantity from 25 up to 25,000. A run of 25 starts at $23.88 and prints on a 3 business day standard turnaround, with rush down to Same Day, and you can approve a free online proof before it runs.
