What this page is
This is the "Waterproof Printable Label Papers" entry in the Achievement SA Website Directory on achievement.co.za. The original post, kept above, is a short pointer to labelpapers.co.za, the AM.CO.ZA website for ECOLine printable self-adhesive label paper. The whole site is summarised on the labelpapers.co.za site page, and the brand itself on the ECOLine brand page. The AM.CO.ZA group's other websites are listed on first-party websites.
This Knowledge Base version adds a short buyer's guide, using only pages already in this KB. Prices change often, so this page quotes none: check the current price on each linked Buythis page. Stock is not shown here.
What ECOLine label paper is
ECOLine is AM.CO.ZA's own brand of self-adhesive label sheets in A4 and A3, sold in packs of 100 sheets. You print your design on an ordinary office inkjet or laser printer, cut the labels out by hand or on a contour cutter, peel them off the backing and stick them on. Most of the range is waterproof and wear-resistant; the plain matte paper sheet V-LABEL/A4 is sold as not waterproof (ECOLine brand page).
The labelpapers.co.za site has no shop of its own. Its posts point buyers to the Buythis label papers category (labelpapers.co.za site page).
Inkjet or laser: pick the sheet for your printer
The SKU ending tells you which printer a sheet is made for.
- Sheets ending in K are matte and suit office inkjet printers. AM.CO.ZA's paper video explains that matte paper can be printed on inkjet or laser "because the ink can easily penetrate the paper" (Introducing Heat Sublimation and Label Making Printing Papers for Office Inkjet and Laser Printer (2020-09-06)).
- Sheets ending in L are glossy and are for hot laser printers and copiers only, because the toner has to bake onto the surface (same video).
- V-LABEL/A4 is plain paper that works in either printer type, for labels that stay indoors and dry.
The finishes
| Finish | Inkjet sheet | Laser sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Matte or glossy white, A4 | V-LABEL/A4K | V-LABEL/A4L |
| White, A3 | V-LABEL/A3K | V-LABEL/A3L |
| Clear | V-LABEL/CLEAR/A4K | V-LABEL/CLEAR/A4L |
| Silver | V-LABEL/SILVER/A4K | V-LABEL/SILVER/A4L |
| Hologram | V-LABEL/HOLO/A4K | V-LABEL/HOLO/A4L |
Each SKU also has its own KB page, for example V-LABEL/A4K and V-LABEL/CLEAR/A4L. Holographic label paper was first announced as coming soon and then arrived in early 2023.
Print, cut and apply
- Design the label in any program you are comfortable with and lay several labels out on an A4 or A3 page (Waterproof Transparent Bottle Label Printing, Cheapest Way Without Any Machines by Using Label Paper (2019-10-22)).
- Print on the sheet that matches your printer. Office printers print no white, so on clear labels use bold, solid colours (waterproof labels from a home office).
- Cut. For a handful of labels, scissors or a craft knife and ruler on a cutting mat such as AG-MAT/A3 are enough. For shapes or many sheets, a contour cutter reads printed registration marks and cuts around each label; the V6-LABEL/A3 A3 label cutter feeds a stack of sheets for repeat runs. The full workflow is on ECOLine label paper on a vinyl cutter.
- Peel and stick on a clean, dry surface such as a bottle, jar or box.
AM.CO.ZA's videos show the whole process for clear bottle labels: Create Clear Waterproof Label for Water Bottle is So Easy, Print with Your Office Printer (2019-11-03) and, for larger runs with a cutter, Waterproof Transparent Bottle Label Printing, High Volume Manufacture Machinery Demo Step by Step (2019-10-22). The written version is the easiest way to create waterproof transparent labels.
What it suits
- Product labels for home-made and small-business goods such as drinks, sauces, cosmetics and candles, where a waterproof label has to survive handling and moisture (waterproof label paper uses).
- Short runs and new designs, since you print only what you need on a printer you already own (effortless labelling).
- Starting a small label business with little capital (label business ideas).
