Self-adhesive label paper is an indispensable identification material in modern packaging, logistics, retail and office fields, and its diversified material selection meets the application needs of different scenarios. Each material has its own unique advantages, adapted to specific environmental conditions and functional requirements. The following are several common self-adhesive label materials and their characteristics:
1. Heat-sensitive self-adhesive label paper
Thermal self-adhesive label paper is made of paper treated with special thermal coating, without carbon strip, and can be heated directly by thermal printer. It is known for its convenience and efficiency, suitable for quick printing such as supermarket price tags, logistics tracking codes and so on. However, the information on thermal paper may fade when exposed to strong light or high temperatures for a long time, so it is not suitable for long-term preservation of documents.
2. Copperplate self-adhesive label paper
Coated paper self-adhesive labels are known for their smooth surface and excellent color reproduction ability, and are suitable for product labels and gift box decorations that require full-color printing. This type of label paper usually needs to be used with carbon tape to ensure the durability and water resistance of the printed content. The texture of coated paper gives a high-end impression, which is suitable for enhancing the brand image.
3. Thermal synthetic label paper
Thermal synthetic label paper combines thermal technology and the durability of synthetic materials, and is often used to make labels that are resistant to wear, water, and oil, such as chemical products and refrigerated food. Its "tear proof" nature means that label integrity can be maintained even under harsh conditions, and it can be printed with both thermal and carbon tape.
4. Write self-adhesive label paper
Writing self-adhesive label paper is designed for hand-written or laser/inkjet printing, suitable for office document classification, library book marking, etc. This kind of label paper is usually smooth, can withstand a certain writing pressure without damage, and the viscosity is moderate, easy to adjust the position several times, suitable for flexible labeling occasions.
5. Special material adhesive label
In addition to the above common types, there are a variety of special material self-adhesive labels on the market, such as:
• Transparent adhesive
Provides unobstructed perspective effect, suitable for invisible labels on glass bottles and plastic packaging.
• Kraft paper adhesive
Retro style, suitable for agricultural products, handicrafts natural, environmental image packaging.
• Matte gold/matte silver adhesive
Metallic texture, improve product grade, common in high-end cosmetics, electronic product packaging.
• Synthetic film adhesive
(such as PET, PVC) : strong weather resistance, waterproof, oil resistant, tear resistant, suitable for outdoor or harsh environment signs.
The selection of the appropriate self-adhesive label material needs to be determined according to the specific needs of the final application scenario, such as durability, printing method, cost budget, and whether special visual or tactile effects are required. With the advancement of technology, the types of self-adhesive labels are constantly enriched, providing users with more diversified and personalized options.
