The Beauty Industry Is Booming—and Packaging Matters More Than Ever

According to Statista’s Beauty & Personal Care Outlook 2024, the global cosmetics market is expected to exceed USD 550 billion by 2027.

With increasing product variety and consumer expectations,

brands are focusing not just on formulas—but also on packaging that conveys quality, emotion, and tactile satisfaction.

In this context, soft-touch laminated labels have become a favorite among premium cosmetic brands,

offering a velvety, matte surface that communicates elegance and luxury through touch.

What Is a Soft-Touch Label?

A soft-touch label is a pressure-sensitive sticker finished with a special laminated coating that feels smooth, velvety,

and warm to the touch—sometimes compared to peach skin or satin. This coating is widely used on cosmetic bottles, skincare jars, and luxury product packaging.

Key Benefits:

✔️ Luxury tactile feel — Adds instant value perception
✔️ Anti-fingerprint surface — Keeps packaging clean and sleek
✔️ Soft matte finish — Perfect for minimalist or bold color designs
✔️ Durable and scuff-resistant — Maintains appearance through shipping and handling
