Online Labels Forum

It really depends on the color of the glass bottle and the color of the liquid in the bottle. Standard laser printer toner and inkjet inks are not opaque. In other words, what is behind the ink or toner will typically show through. Darker ink or toner colors like black sometimes have enough density to be opaque and block out what is behind them. I am not sure what colors you are using in your label design or the color of your bottle / bottle contents.

If you have a dark liquid or dark bottle and you want to print a label with lots of light colors then the only way that I know of to get around this issue is to have your labels professionally printed and have the label company lay down a white under print layer on the printing press. The clear labels you see on products in retail stores are normally printed on a professional printing press and a layer of opaque white ink is usually laid down first and then the colors are printed over that.

Unfortunately, at OnlineLabels.com, we do not offer the ability to produce labels with white under print at this time. Consolidated Label has an excellent video explaining this issue and they are able to produce these types of labels.

If you are using a clear bottle and a light liquid then our labels may work well for you. We are happy to send you samples of our clear labels for testing if you would like to fill out our sample request form at the link below.
