A BRIEF ON LABELS & ADHESIVES

Improper, damaged, or missing labels are very probable when incorrect materials and adhesives are used. The wrong material can result in misprints and significant problems if your operation must adhere to strict compliance rules and you risk severe fines for producing labels that are difficult to read. The inadequate medium can also harm your machinery and equipment.

By selecting the proper printer supplies, you may lower your expense and get the best output, and extend the lifetime of your hardware. Have a quick look at the various kinds of label materials and adhesives to choose from.

Thermal Transfer

This paper is designed for thermal ribbon printers. The ribbon’s back is heated by the thermal print head, which melts it and causes the marks to be transferred to the label.

Direct Thermal

In direct thermal printing, the label is heated by the print head, which changes the colors

Semi-Gloss

This substance has a luster to it but doesn’t appear completely glossy. The semi-gloss paper is immediately printed with labels.

High Gloss

A different type of paper medium on which labels are directly printed, but with a higher shine.

Laser

The purpose of this paper label is for printers that produce images using lasers as resistance to ink, which should be obvious.

Inkjet

This paper is made to fast dry and absorb ink from inkjet label printers without smearing the print.

Film Face Stocks

Polyester

This film is meant to withstand tears and scratches and is resistant to harsh environments.

Polyethylene

It is a more shapeable and flexible substance that is frequently used for labeling curved objects, such as bottles.

Polyimide

The heat-resistant polyimide film is perfect for electronics and surfaces that might be exposed to high temperatures and industrial atmospheres.

Polypropylene

The most popular and reasonably priced film for short-term labeling applications is polypropylene.

Vinyl

This flexible & weatherproof material provides greater flexibility while remaining strong enough to be used outside.

Adhesive

While label materials are essential for guaranteeing that your labels are printed accurately, choosing the right adhesive is as important because an accurate one is worthless if it cannot adhere to the surface it was designed for. Adhesives come in a variety of forms, and just like printer materials, each is ideally suited for a particular function.

Permanent Adhesive

This adherent works wonderfully for general applications where a long-term application is required, but it might not adhere well to some specific materials and surfaces.

Removable Adhesive

These labels are removable and range in level of aggression. Some are only able to be removed once or twice, while others can be repeatedly removed and replaced. It depends on the use and the objective.

All-temp Adhesive

This glue works best in conditions with a wide range of temperatures. This group also includes label adhesives for freezers and cold environments.

Aggressive Adhesive

Although “enduring” is a good fit for the majority of uses, some specialty applications necessitate a robust type, which is why this type is utilized.
