Are Kraft labels waterproof?
No, Kraft paper is uncoated and not designed for moisture-heavy environments.
Intended for indoor (dry) use
Kraft paper labels are not water-resistant and should be used in dry environments. Since they are uncoated and made from recycled paper, they can absorb moisture and may wrinkle or fade if exposed to water, oil, or condensation. These labels are best suited for indoor use or for products that won’t encounter frequent handling or moisture—like dry goods, handmade crafts, or shelf-stable items. If water resistance is important, vinyl or metallic materials are better choices.
