Labels
Don’t get “Stuck” with the wrong labels…
A label is a piece of paper, polymer, cloth, metal, or other material which is printed and then affixed to something or someone.
Some uses are product identification, name tags, advertising, warnings, and other communications.
We primarility sell Pressure sensitive adhesives or self sticking labels that are applied with light pressure without activation or heat. These labels have release liners which protect the adhesive and assist label handling.
Adhesives
Pressure sensitive label adhesives generally fall in one of the following categories.
Permanent
Temporary.
Repositionable- Can be applied, moved and applied in a different position several times.
Freezer – For use in very cold termperatures. The temperature at the point that it’s applied is as important as the temperature of where it’s used.
Static Cling – actually not adhesive. They stick to certain products via static.
Special Types of Labels
Piggyback labels are made from combining two layers of adhesive substrate [2]. The bottom layer forms the backing for the top. The label can be applied to any object as normal, the top layer can be a removable label that can be applied elsewhere, which may change the message or marking on the remaining label underneath. Often used on Express mail envelopes.Other applications include price change labels where when being scanned at the till the till assistant can peel back the price-reduction label and scan the original barcode enabling stock flow management. Also, as the retained label is adhesive free it prevents customers from re-applying the cheaper priced labels to premium products. you can view an example of this.
Smart labels have RFID chips embedded under the label stock.
Asset Labels / Tags are used for marking fixed and non-fixed assets. They are usually tamper-evident, permanent or frangible and usually contain a barcode for electronic identification using readers.
Blockout labels are not see-through at all, concealing what lies underneath with a strong gray adhesive.
Laser Labels are generally die cut on 8.5″ x 11″ sheets(US letter) and a4 size, and come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. Laser label material is a nonporous stock made to withstand the intense heat of laser printers and copiers. A drawback of laser labels is that the entire sheet needs to be printed before any labels are used; once labels have been removed the sheet cannot be put through the printer again without damaging the printing mechanism.
Inkjet Labels are generally die cut on 8.5″ x 11″ sheets (US letter) and a4 size, and come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. Inkjet label material is a porous stock made to accept ink and dye from your inkjet printer. One of the more modern inkjet label material stocks is waterproof printable inkjet material commonly used for soap or shower gel containers.
Security Labels are used for anti-counterfeiting, brand protection, tamper-evident seals, anti-pilferage seals, etc. These combine a number of overt and covert features to make reproduction difficult. The use of security printing, holography, embossing, bar codes, RFID chips, custom printing, weak (or weakened) backings, etc. is common. They are used for authentication, theft reduction, and protection against counterfeit and are commonly used on ID cards, credit cards, packaging, and products from CDs to electronics to clothing.
AntiMicrobial Labels With the growth in hospital acquired infections such as MRSA and E-Coli the use of Antimicrobial labels in infection sensitive areas of hospitals are helping in combating these types of microbes.
