The usage scenario: oil and vinegar, in bottles or cans, become a customised product with self-adhesive oil labels and vinegar labels
There are many different types of edible oils and vinegars - especially in the area of high-quality oils and vinegars. They are filled in bottles of different sizes and shapes or in opaque round tins. A high-quality, robust label turns a neutral bottle or tin into a high-quality product that is ideally equipped for long-term use by the user.
What do oil labels and vinegar labels need to be able to do?
Edible oils of all kinds, be it olive oil, rapeseed oil or very special pressings such as grape seed oil, need labels that are oil and grease resistant and resistant to all types of soiling. This applies both to the label material and the adhesive, as well as to the print.
This is why HERMA only uses particularly robust label materials from its own adhesive material production and reliable finishes for this application.
In the food sector, oil labels and vinegar labels not only have the task of representing the brand and the product, but also carry the legal food labelling, e.g. manufacturer's information and filling quantity. This makes it all the more important that both the labelling material and the imprint remain permanently on the product.
Which material is right for your oil or vinegar labels?
Even during the production of vinegar or oil, oil and fat-resistant labelling materials are needed that are particularly strong and, above all, permanently adhesive.
Bottle labels for olive oil and other oils, and of course also for vinegar, must also be resistant to dirt, oil and moisture at the later point of use, in the kitchen or restaurant.
Robust film labels are particularly suitable as labels for olive oil bottles. They can be easily wiped off without leaving oil stains or dirt on the labels.
The adhesive plays a decisive role in the labelling of olive oil and vinegar bottles!
Especially with round bottles or cans, the adhesive must be particularly strong both during application and in the final adhesion so that the labels do not peel off during subsequent use. It must be grease and moisture resistant.
When filling oil or vinegar, whether by hand or in automatic packaging systems, it is particularly important that the adhesive adheres immediately and strongly to the surface of the bottle or can, even in a damp or cool filling environment.
At HERMA, we use adhesive material from our own production, which is manufactured on one of the best coating systems in the world, in close proximity to the labelling production. Our development and application technology specialists ensure that the adhesive properties are ideally suited to the surfaces and requirements.
This ensures quality right from the start.
The most important things at a glance: What is important for bottle labels for oil and vinegar?
- Self-adhesive oil labels and vinegar labels must adhere permanently and securely to bottles and other containers, both during filling and in ‘practical use’.
- Robust film labels that are resistant to dirt, oil and moisture as well as temperature-resistant are suitable for this application.
- With additional finishing (protective varnish or film lamination), the customised print is also particularly resistant to dirt, oil and moisture - as well as being smudge and scratch resistant.
- This means that the labels for oil and vinegar remain clearly legible without appearing ‘worn’.

For vinegar labels as well as labels for oil bottles and oil cans, we recommend the use of
- PE film, white, glossy, permanently adhesive:
The attractive glossy film surface skilfully highlights your product. Secure adhesion, even on curved surfaces. Resistant to dirt, oil and moisture. - PE film, transparent, glossy, permanently adhesive:
ransparent labels offer a no-label look, which can be very attractive on bottles with light-coloured contents. Secure adhesion, even on curved surfaces. Resistant to dirt, oil and moisture. (Please note the information on the use of opaque white in the digital print data).
All label materials used comply with the recommendations of BfR XIV or FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for dry and fatty foods.
This makes labels for oil bottles and cans, as well as vinegar labels, smudge-proof and scratch-resistant - for long-lasting labelling and a permanently attractive appearance:
For this application, the printed image should always be coated with a protective varnish or laminating film to make the print smudge-proof and scratch-resistant. These finishes offer additional protection against moisture, oil and dirt.
And their matt or glossy appearance gives your bottles that special something.
If you would like to subsequently print the best-before date using thermal transfer printing close to production, please choose the matt protective coating or the matt laminating film.
Do you need oil labels in special shapes or made of other materials?
In the configurator, you can configure and order rectangular labels (with rounded corners) and round labels in your desired format.

Applications with digitally printed film labels in other industries
The labelling properties that are important for oil labels also play an important role in other sectors.
- Cosmetics: labels for essential oils or bath oils
These often small bottles with a small diameter require flexible film labels with particularly high adhesion. This ensures that the labels do not peel off the surfaces. The attractive glossy film surface gives your product that special something. And it is also resistant to dirt, soap, oil and moisture. - Pharma: Labels for vials, small bottles and syringes
Here, thin film materials with extremely high adhesion offer a permanently adhesive solution for secure labelling. They are resistant to chemicals and have a wide temperature range. In digital printing, fixed or consecutive barcodes or serial numbers can be realised particularly economically according to your specifications. - Chemicals: labels for cans, buckets and canisters, with colour or chemicals
Product labels made from chemical-resistant film materials or labels for hazardous substances, with seawater certification in accordance with BS 5609. Digital printing with a wide variety of types, on resistant label materials - take advantage of our expert know-how in the chemicals sector!
