Coloured paper

Coloured label papers, some of which are also available in fluorescent versions, attract a great deal of attention – making them ideal for promotional and advertising labels, as well as for hazard labelling and self-adhesive warning labels. Our range of solid-coloured, satin-finish self-adhesive label papers combines brilliant colour with excellent workability.

Why choose coloured label material from HERMA?

Our HERMAcolor range offers more than just colour. It is tailored to the high demands of industrial and commercial applications:

  • High visual impact: Attract maximum attention with vibrant, solid-coloured papers (some of which are also available in fluorescent colours).
  • Excellent printability: The satin finish guarantees a crisp print result using all standard printing methods, as well as laser, inkjet and dot matrix printing.
  • Focus on sustainability: All papers are FSC® Mix Credit certified. Furthermore, we do not use inks containing heavy metals (in accordance with DIN EN 71-3).
  • Durability: Thanks to high lightfastness, the colours remain brilliant even after prolonged storage or exposure to light.

Examples of the use of coloured paper as label material

Coloured label papers are truly versatile. They really come into their own wherever information not only needs to be present but also needs to be actively noticed. Here are the most common areas of application:

  • Sales promotion and promotional labelling
  • Logistics and warehouse organisation
  • Safety and warning notices
  • Office and document management

Frequently asked questions about coloured paper

  • Which colours are available in the HERMAcolor range?

    Our standard range includes the classic signal colours: grey, yellow, blue, red and green. The paper is dyed right through, which has the advantage that no white edges are visible, even at the cut edges. For maximum visibility, fluorescent variants (bright colours) are also available.

  • How sustainable is the coloured label material?

    Sustainability is a key component of our product philosophy. The pulp used in our coloured papers comes from FSC®-certified forestry operations and other controlled sources. Furthermore, the colouring process is environmentally friendly: we consistently avoid using inks containing heavy metals (in accordance with the DIN EN 71-3 standard), ensuring that the papers are safe to handle and dispose of.

  • Are the coloured papers suitable for all types of printer?

    Yes, the satin-finish surface of HERMAcolor papers makes them a real all-rounder. They are ideal for use in traditional printing processes (such as flexo or offset printing). For flexible use in the office or warehouse, they are also optimised for laser, inkjet and dot matrix printers, so you can customise your labels at any time.

  • Do the colours fade in sunlight?

    Our coloured papers are characterised by their high lightfastness. This means that the colour intensity remains stable even when exposed to light over a long period of time. This makes them particularly suitable for applications such as file spines or stock labels, which need to remain clearly legible and colourfast for months or years.
