What Is an Adhesive Label? Where Is It Used?
Adhesive labels, which we encounter constantly in everyday life, are used across a wide range from product promotion to informational purposes. With adhesive on the back, these labels are printed on paper, film or specialty surfaces and can be applied to almost any type of packaging.
Where Adhesive Labels Are Used
- Product promotion: The main label carrying the brand logo, product name and visual identity elements.
- Price and barcode labels: Printed on thermal or coated surfaces for fast scanning at retail points.
- Informational labels: Additional labels carrying usage instructions, warnings and ingredient information.
- Seal/security labels: Security labels indicating that packaging hasn't been opened.
Permanent or Removable?
Adhesive labels can be produced with permanent or removable adhesive depending on the intended use. Permanent adhesive keeps the label in place for the product's entire life, while removable adhesive is preferred for products that need returns or relabeling.
Choosing the Right Material
The performance of an adhesive label largely depends on material choice. Coated labels offer vivid color with a glossy/matte surface, while clear labels create a "floating" look on glass or plastic packaging. For products exposed to moisture or cold chains, durable specialty materials should be chosen instead.
