In short, a label is a small piece of paper that is very important for your brand and the product itself because it gives it a special value.

The labels we encounter today have been used for several centuries. They are made of different materials (paper, foil, plastic, cloth, etc.).

According to the production process and method of application, we usually divide them into two categories:

Labels that contain glue and
Labels to which glue is applied when they are placed on the product itself.
In this article, you will be able to read a little more about the first category, ie. Self-adhesive labels.

What are self-adhesive labels?

A self-adhesive label is a type of label composed of three layers:

TOP LAYER - which represents the face of the label itself and contains information about the product, origin, composition, etc.
MIDDLE LAYER - pressure sensitive adhesive
THIRD LAYER - substrate, coated with an agent for quick and easy separation
The layers are joined together and then cut to produce individual labels.

A special type of pressure-sensitive glue is used for self-adhesive labels. So the stickers only need the pressure of a hand or even a finger to attach to the substrate.

Because of this, the name "pressure sensitive labels" is being used more and more.

You can make individual labels or in a roll, depending on what suits your needs and your product.

How to choose the best material for self-adhesive labels?

Maybe self-adhesive labels seem like a very simple product that you don't need to worry about, but it is very important to make the right choice of materials that will be used in their production.

We can help you with that.

Be sure to make the best possible choice in Borton, no matter what type of product it is.

As we have already said, self-adhesive labels are composed of three layers, and for each layer there are numerous material options today.

The choice of material for the upper, visible layer depends on the purpose of the label. They are most often used:

Paper (used for packaging, including glass bottles, jars, etc.)
Polyester (used for its strength and durability in industrial and medical purposes most often)
Vinyl (ideal solution for outdoor use, since the material is resistant to the passage of time and different weather conditions, does not fade and is long-lasting)
For the middle layer, the glue that is designed not to move once it comes into contact with the substrate is most often used.

For the third layer, i.e. the substrate, paper coated with silicone is used, which is made for easy removal without damaging the adhesive layer. This material also means cheaper production costs. It is still possible to use plastic.

We will help you choose the best option for you, so that the process is as simple as possible and that all your requirements are met.
