A Label Is a Layered Construction
Performance depends on the interaction between facestock, adhesive, release liner, ink, overlaminate and the final container or surface. Begin with the print and application process, not only the face material.
Specification Inputs
- Paper, PP, PE, PET, vinyl or other facestock
- Permanent, removable, freezer, high-tack or specialty adhesive behavior
- Glassine, kraft or filmic release liner and release level
- Printing method, ink, curing and overlamination
- Die-cut shape, matrix stripping and dispensing speed
End-Use Review
Define container material, surface shape, temperature, moisture, chemical exposure, outdoor duration, barcode requirement and recycling objective. Curved or squeezable containers may need different conformability from flat logistics labels.
Converter Trial
Check printing, die cutting, stripping, dispensing and final adhesion together. A material that prints well can still fail at high-speed application if liner or release is mismatched.
What to Send
Provide the current construction, print method, label size, application surface, environmental requirement, roll direction, quantity and destination.
