What exactly is a self-adhesive label?
Release Time:2022-05-19

Labels are printed materials used to indicate the relevant instructions of the product. Some of them have self-adhesive on the back, but some printed materials are not glued. Labels with glue are known as "adhesive labels".


Self-adhesive labels (also known as pressure sensitive labels) are made by printing on a 3-layer structure: a release liner (also known as liner, carrier or cellophane) a layer of adhesive facestock.


Self-adhesive labels remove backing paper

The liner is usually made of paper with one side (occasionally 2 sides) coated with silicone to allow the label to be cleanly removed from the liner. Increasingly, especially in some high-volume applications, self-adhesive label design automatic applicators are used to apply labels at high speed, and plastics are used as release liners because they do not tear as easily as paper. While the vast majority of labels sold are paper as it is the most established and established product on the market, we also stock a wide variety of overlays to suit a variety of applications.


self-adhesive label adhesive

Contrary to the choice of silicone backing, there are many different adhesives for self-adhesive labels to choose from, and it is important to make the right choice if you want your labels to stick.


A simple classification of the various adhesive types are: hot melt, acrylic, permanent, removable, special, most self-adhesive labels use water-based acrylic permanent or water-based acrylic removable adhesives. For some "high tack" applications and labels exposed to moisture, hot melt adhesive is recommended. Hundreds of specialty adhesives are available and can be formulated based on water, hot melt, UV or solvent for special applications.


In the 1930s, self-adhesive label materials were first used abroad. Because of the continuous development of the demand for this unique composite material, self-adhesive labels have been slowly transformed into a separate printing industry. More and more companies are printing dry adhesive labels.


In recent years, the unprecedented development trend of my country's printing industry in terms of production scale, technical strength, and sales market space has promoted the development of self-adhesive labels and achieved unprecedented levels.


Self-adhesive label is a material, also known as self-adhesive self-adhesive label material, which is made of paper, film or other special materials. A composite material of paper. Self-adhesive labels are the general term for materials with such properties. According to the application substrate, it is often divided into: coated paper, self-adhesive material, easily broken paper, thermal printing paper, PET self-adhesive, PP self-adhesive, PVC self-adhesive, etc. And after packaging and printing, film cutting and other production and processing, it becomes a finished product label.


The first point is that the design of self-adhesive labels compared with traditional labels has the advantages of no glue, no batter, no water, zero pollution, saving labeling time, etc. It has a wide coverage and saves time and effort.


As an important type of sticker product, self-adhesive labels need more for the use of products. The direction we understand is that the application industry is very wide, so it must have good quality, and product quality should always be placed In the first place, to meet the actual needs of customers, so that there will be no fading, falling off, etc. in the later stage, such self-adhesive label manufacturers can give customers an effective feedback.


The second point is that in the early selection process of customers, the quality assurance of plate making and printing is important. Customers may not know the production process of products very well, but they understand the use of products, whether it is from design, In terms of the design and printing of self-adhesive labels and the whole form, self-adhesive label manufacturers need to carry out a comprehensive layout and production method for him, so as to improve the production capacity of self-adhesive labels.


The third point is to reform and upgrade the self-adhesive label accordingly. I believe that with the continuous improvement of products, the improvement of capabilities, and the improvement of machine efficiency, the production process of self-adhesive labels will also be improved accordingly. We must keep up with the pace of the times, improve the quality level and craftsmanship of self-adhesive label products, and can effectively provide more complete and effective help for self-adhesive label design and use enterprises.
