Description
Custom satin gold metallic labels & stickers, printed on 70-micron gold vinyl
Satin gold metallic labels printed in the UK on 70-micron gold vinyl, with a soft matt-gold sheen and permanent adhesive - a premium, understated finish for cosmetics, candles and spirits, in any size or shape from a single label.
Our metallic gold labels are printed on a proper satin-finish gold vinyl, not a paper imitation. The smooth brushed-gold surface gives products a quiet, high-class look, and the material shrugs off water, UV and the weather - so it works just as well on a bathroom shelf as on a bottle kept outdoors.
The satin finish is the understated one: a soft matt sheen rather than a mirror shine. If you want something far more reflective, take a look at our polished gold labels instead. Both are cut to your exact measurements and printed in full colour, so the label fits the product rather than the other way round.
Because our CMYK inks are slightly translucent, colours printed straight onto the gold pick up a metallic tint with a softer tone. Ask for a white under-base first and the colours print bright and true against the gold. Design your labels online or upload your own print-ready artwork.
Soft satin sheen
A smooth brushed-gold surface with a subtle matt shine, giving cosmetics, candles and spirits a quality, understated finish.
Weatherproof gold vinyl
Printed on 70-micron metallic vinyl that resists water and UV and holds up indoors or out, with roughly 4 years’ external life.
Metallic or vibrant print
Print onto the gold for a metallic tint, or add a white under-base so full-colour artwork prints bright and even.

Square, circle, oval or a bespoke die-cut - supply your cutter guide and we cut your gold labels to match.
Designing on a metallic base, black-and-gold and reversed logos, satin versus polished versus foil, and the products that suit satin gold.

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Are satin gold labels waterproof?
Yes. They’re printed on 70-micron gold vinyl using eco-solvent inks, so they’re water resistant, UV resistant and scratch resistant, and won’t smudge. They suit both indoor and outdoor use and carry roughly 4 years of external weathering.
What’s the difference between satin and polished gold?
Satin gold has a soft, brushed matt sheen for a more understated, high-class look. Polished gold is far more reflective and shiny, closer to a mirror foil. If you’re unsure which suits your product, order a free sample of each first.
Why do my printed colours look different on gold?
Our CMYK inks are slightly translucent, so printing straight onto the gold gives colours a metallic tint but a duller tone. For brighter, truer colours we print a white under-base first - set your artwork up following our artwork guidelines if you need white ink.
What adhesive do gold labels use?
A permanent advanced acrylic adhesive, which sticks well to smooth surfaces like glass jars, bottles and product containers. It’s the only adhesive option on this satin gold material.
How are the labels supplied and what’s the minimum order?
They come cut to size on approximately A4 sheets as standard, with individual cutting available for a small fee. There’s no minimum - order a single label or several thousand, and mix designs in one run at no extra cost.
How quickly will I get my labels?
Once you approve your PDF proof we get straight to print. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
What is the difference between satin gold and polished gold labels?
Satin gold has a soft brushed-pearl sheen with no glare, hides fingerprints and is waterproof and rated for around three years outdoors, so it suits products that are handled, chilled or wiped. Polished gold is a mirror finish for interior use: seals, awards and display packaging.
Can I print white or light colours on gold labels?
Not directly: our inks are translucent, so light colours turn to gold tints and white does not exist. Ask for a white ink under-base where you need true colour, or design in black and dark colours and let the gold show through, which is the classic look.
