When it comes to creating vinyl records, the quality of the label paper is just as important as 
the vinyl itself. A top-tier vinyl record deserves a premium label that complements its visual 
appeal and stands up to the rigors of the production process. This is where PaperTyger comes into play. Our 100gsm (27lbs) Bond and 150gsm (54lbs) 54# Cover are especially suited for 
the demanding environment of vinyl pressing, offering unparalleled benefits that make it the 
premier choice for record labels.

Heat Resistance & Lay Flat Properties: The Secret to Flawless Vinyl Pressing

One of the most critical aspects of label paper in vinyl pressing is its ability to withstand heat. 
During the pressing process, the vinyl is subjected to high temperatures that can easily warp 
or distort lower-quality papers. PaperTyger is engineered with exceptional heat resistance, 
ensuring that your labels remain perfectly flat throughout the process. This means no more 
worrying about warping, bubbling, or other distortions that can ruin the final product.

Furthermore, the paper's ability to maintain its lay-flat properties under the intense heat 
needed during either the printing or vinyl pressing stages ensures a smooth and even 
application onto the vinyl surface. This characteristic is essential for preserving the integrity 
and appearance of the label, providing a professional and polished finish every time.

Durability & Print Quality: Vibrant Labels That Last

When it comes to record labels, aesthetics matter just as much as durability. PaperTyger
excels in both areas, offering a robust and long-lasting solution without compromising on 
visual appeal. The durable paper is specially developed to deliver high-quality prints across 
various printing methods, including offset, litho, toner, and Indigo.

Whether you're aiming for sharp text, intricate designs, or vibrant colors, PaperTyger ensures 
that every detail is captured with precision. The result is a label that not only looks great but 
also stands up to the test of time. With its superior printability, your labels will remain crisp, 
clear, and visually striking, even after years of use.

Tensile Strength for Stability: A Reliable Choice in Every Pressing

Stability during the vinyl pressing process is crucial to avoid any issues with the label. 
PaperTyger durable paper boasts superior tensile strength, making it resistant to tearing and 
distortion. This added stability is a significant advantage during pressing, as it reduces the 
risk of the label stretching or tearing under pressure.

This strength translates into a more reliable production process, minimizing waste and

these benefits can save time, reduce costs, and enhance the overall quality of your product.

application, and other production headaches.
