About Facestock

Facestock is the printable top layer of a self‑adhesive label construction. It is selected based on the required appearance, durability and printing method. XIYONG provides multiple facestock options including coated paper, thermal paper, PP, PET and synthetic paper to match a wide range of applications.

Advantages

Multiple material choices

Paper facestocks offer a classic look and cost‑effective performance, while film facestocks such as PP and PET deliver stronger resistance to moisture, oils, tearing and environmental exposure. Synthetic paper provides a paper‑like appearance with improved durability.

Good ink adhesion and print quality

Suitable coatings and surface treatments help ensure good ink anchorage and clean imaging. This supports stable printing results across different processes and helps maintain barcode readability.

Flexible thickness range

With paper grades from 50–120 gsm and film grades from 25–80 µm, facestock can be matched to specific label designs, dispensing requirements and performance targets.

Applications

Retail & logistics labels

Coated paper and thermal paper facestocks are widely used for price labels, shipping labels and barcode labels requiring clear printing and consistent converting.

Durable product labels

PP, PET and synthetic facestocks are suitable for labels exposed to water, oils, chemicals, abrasion or outdoor environments.

In summary, XIYONG facestock materials provide reliable printability, good ink adhesion and flexible thickness options, helping converters and brand owners choose the right label surface for each application.
