The characteristics of adhesive labels

Compared with traditional labels, self-adhesive labels have the advantages of no brushing, no paste, no dipping, no pollution, and saving labeling time. It has a wide range of applications and is convenient and quick. All kinds of self-adhesive labels can be applied to materials that are incapable of ordinary paper labels. It can be said that self-adhesive labels are a versatile label. Compared with traditional printing, the printing of self-adhesive labels has a lot Big difference. Self-adhesive labels are usually printed and processed on the label linkage, and multiple processes are completed at one time, such as graphic printing, die cutting, waste discharge, cutting and rewinding. It can be seen that self-adhesive labels have higher requirements for printing technology and printing equipment.

The application range of self-adhesive labels

Self-adhesive labels have a wide range of applications: common barcode labels include drug labels, food labels, wine labels, battery labels, outer box labels, shampoo labels, barcode labels, temporary labels for semi-finished products, and so on. Mainly film, mainly used for decorative decals on cars and motorcycles, logo text on trademark windows, reflective films on highways, and markings on containers. Mainly paper and film, it is divided into basic label and variable information label according to the scope of application. Variable information labels: batch number, sequence code, bar code, production date, expiration date, price, information processing during mailing, distribution, warehouse management, inventory data, etc.

The classification of self-adhesive labels

Self-adhesive labels are roughly divided into two types: one is paper-based self-adhesive labels, and the other is film-based self-adhesive labels.
1. Paper stickers are mainly used for liquid washing products and popular personal care products; film materials are mainly used for medium and high-end daily chemical products.
2. Film type self-adhesive labels are commonly used in PE, PP, PVC and other synthetic materials. The film materials are mainly white, matte, and transparent.
Because the printability of the film material is not very good, it is generally treated with corona or by adding a coating on the surface to enhance its printability. In order to avoid deformation or tearing of some film materials during the printing and labeling process, some materials will also undergo directional treatment, uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching, for example, the application of biaxially stretched BOPP materials is quite common.
