The Anatomy of Adhesive Labels Stickers

When it comes to adhesive labels, understanding the structure is key to selecting the right material for your specific needs. Let’s dive into the main components of adhesive labels:

1. Facestock

The facestock is the top layer of the label, where all your content is printed. It’s coated on the back with adhesive. The materials for facestock are incredibly diverse and can include:

• Coated Paper
• Clear Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
• Static Cling PVC
• Polyester (PET)
• Holographic Paper
• Heat-resistant Paper
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• Kraft Paper
• Fluorescent Paper
• Gold/Silver Foil Paper
• Synthetic Paper
• Aluminum Foil Paper
• Tamper-evident Paper
• Crepe Paper
• Cloth Labels (Tyvek/Nylon)
• Pearlescent Paper
• Sandwich Coated Paper
• Thermal Paper

2. Film Layer

The film layer materials enhance durability and appearance. Options include:

• Clear Polyester (PET)
• Translucent Polyester (PET)
• Clear Oriented Polypropylene (OPP)
• Translucent OPP
• Clear PVC
• Gloss White PVC
• Matte White PVC
• Synthetic Paper
• Glossy Gold/Silver Polyester
• Matte Gold/Silver Polyester

3. Adhesive

The adhesive is what makes the label stick. Different types of adhesives cater to various needs:

• General Purpose Ultra High Tack
• General Purpose Strong Tack
• Strong Tack for Refrigerated Foods
• General Purpose Removable
• Fiber Removable

The adhesive ensures that the facestock bonds to the liner but can be easily peeled off and applied securely to a surface.

4. Liner

The liner, also known as the release liner, is the backing material. It isolates the adhesive and allows the facestock to be easily peeled off. Common materials include:

• White, Blue, Yellow Glassine
• Onion Skin Paper
• Kraft Paper
• Polyester (PET)
• Coated Paper
• Polyethylene (PE)

Choosing the right combination of these components is essential for achieving the perfect label for your products. Each material and adhesive type serves a unique purpose and ensures your labels perform excellently in their intended environment.
