Guaranteed opacity (blockout)
The integrated black backing prevents show-through, even over bold print, logos and barcodes. Ideal for correcting errors, replacing outdated information, or reusing packaging and envelopes.
Colour & finish
Matt white paper face stock for a clean professional finish, with a black backing for full coverage. Designed for sharp print results and easy readability.

Opaque blockout labels are designed for cover-up, corrections and updates where reprinting would be costly or wasteful. Common uses include:
Covering up mistakes
Cover printing errors on labels, packaging, envelopes, documents and forms. Apply a corrected label over the mistake — quicker, cheaper and easier than reprinting entire batches.
Out of date information
Replace old pricing, addresses, ingredients, product info, batch codes, expiry dates, compliance text, warning labels, or SKU/barcode data without binning usable stock.
Recycling packaging & envelopes
Cover old shipping labels, branding or address details so cartons, boxes and envelopes can be reused. Great for e-commerce, fulfilment, returns handling and internal distribution.
Warehouse & logistics updates
Update location labels, pallet labels, pick-face labels, stock ID labels, shelf labels and dispatch identifiers. Useful where products move fast and label data changes frequently.
Retail & price changes
Ideal for repricing, promotions, clearance changes, product relabelling and barcode updates without damaging packaging.
Office & admin relabelling
Cover old file labels, archive box labels, folder spines, internal mail labels, asset labels and document identifiers.
Returns / refurb / rework
Cover original labels on returned items, reboxed goods or reworked stock — replace with updated SKU, condition, or routing information.

What are blockout labels?
Blockout labels are opaque cover-up labels designed to hide existing text, images, colours and barcodes underneath, so you can relabel quickly and cleanly.
Do these labels completely cover what’s underneath?
Yes. They have an integrated black backing that provides guaranteed opacity — nothing shows through.
Can anything be seen behind the label?
No. Underlying text, graphics, barcodes and colours are fully blocked out.
Which printers are these sheets compatible with?
These A4 sheets are suitable for laser and inkjet printers. They’re also suitable for photocopying and handwriting.
Are these labels waterproof?
These are paper blockout labels. If you need waterproof film labels, we can recommend an alternative material.
What adhesive do these labels use?
They use a strong permanent adhesive designed for reliable long-term sticking on typical packaging and labelling surfaces.
What surfaces do they stick to?
They work best on clean, dry, smooth surfaces like cartons, packaging, envelopes, boxes, folders, and many retail packs. For dusty, textured, or heavily curved items, we recommend testing a sample first.
What are these labels commonly used for?
Covering up mistakes, replacing out-of-date information, reusing packaging and envelopes, updating barcodes/SKUs, warehouse relabelling, repricing, and office/admin identification.
Can you print these blockout labels for us?
Yes. Choose blank sheets or order printed labels (we can print your supplied artwork).
