Laminated Labels Global Market Report 2026

Laminated labels refer to a type of labeling material composed of multiple layers combined to create a durable label. Label lamination is the process of applying a protective film to the surface of a label.

The primary types of laminated label materials include polyester, polypropylene, vinyl, and others. Polyester, a synthetic polymer widely used in textiles, packaging, and various products, is a common choice for laminated labels due to its resistance to chemicals, heat, UV light, and weather. Laminated labels are composed of different layers, including adhesive, face stock, release liner, and others, and are available in various forms such as rolls and sheets. These labels are manufactured using different printing technologies, including digital, flexographic, and lithography. They find applications in diverse sectors such as food and beverage, consumer durables, home and personal care, pharmaceuticals, retail labels, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the laminated labels market by increasing costs of imported films, adhesives, resins, printing equipment, and specialty coatings used in label lamination processes. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces export cost pressures. These tariffs are raising label production costs and impacting margins. However, they are also encouraging local material sourcing, regional laminate production, and innovation in cost-efficient and recyclable laminated label solutions.

Laminated labels are widely used in the e-commerce sector for applications such as displaying product information, shipping and packing labels, and barcodes for identification and tracking purposes. For instance, in August 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based principal government agency, estimated e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2025 increased by 5.3% (+-1.2%) compared with the second quarter of 2024, while total retail sales rose by 3.8% (+-0.4%) during the same period.

The expansion of the packaging industry is also expected to support the growth of the laminated labels market in the coming years. The packaging industry encompasses the design, production, and supply of materials and solutions used to protect, contain, and promote products during storage, transportation, and sale. Growth in the packaging industry is being driven by the rise of e-commerce, which is increasing demand for durable and visually appealing packaging to ensure safe delivery and enhance customer experience. Laminated labels support the packaging industry by improving product protection, durability, and aesthetic appeal, thereby meeting the growing demand for high-quality and resilient packaging solutions. For instance, in November 2025, according to the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), an Australia-based joint industry-government body, the total volume of packaging placed on the market (POM) in Australia during 2023-24 was estimated at 6.84 million tonnes. Therefore, the growth of the packaging industry is expected to fuel the laminated labels market.

Key players operating in the laminated labels market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as packaging recycling initiatives, to strengthen sustainability, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance overall environmental responsibility in response to increasing consumer and industry demand for eco-friendly labeling solutions. Packaging recycling involves the collection, sorting, and processing of used packaging materials, including plastic, glass, metal, paper, and cardboard, so they can be reused or converted into new products instead of being discarded as waste. For instance, in September 2025, Avery Dennison, a US-based labeling solutions provider, introduced new labeling solutions focused on advancing recycling, connectivity, and safety at Labelexpo Europe 2025. These innovations include recyclable facestocks, sustainable adhesives, and integrated digital connectivity features that help brands achieve sustainability goals, meet regulatory requirements, and improve consumer engagement.
