Labels
Pressure Sensitive labels are very similar to stickers. They require pressure to form a bond between the adhesive and the product. The self-adhesive characteristics of these labels mean that no water, solvent, or heat is required for the label to adhere to the product. Pressure sensitive labels are a highly versatile label solution can be seen on nearly any type of product.
​
Shrink Sleeves are highly attractive labels that are printed on a flexible shrink film that reduces in size through the application of heat. Once the film shrinks, it conforms tightly to the shape of the container or product, creating a sleek label and product package.
What is the best material for my labels to be printed on?
​
The material your label is printed on depends on its application. First determine whether your labels will be used indoors, or outdoors. If your labels will be used indoors, most customers find our standard semigloss works well. This is a great all purpose paper stock, it is inexpensive, and has an attractive shine to it. Unless you have specific needs, this is our recommended material.
Here is a short list of other common materials with a brief explanation:
​
3mil White Polylyte.
This is an inexpensive, durable film stock with an attractive pearly shine to it. When laminated, it is resistant to water and chemicals. This stock has a regular permanent adhesive and is not suitable for outdoor use.
​
3mil Thermlyte with Drum Adhesive.
This is an extremely durable film stock that is suitable for outdoor use. When laminated it is resistant to water and chemicals, but will not withstand submersion. Our labels manufactured with this material generally last up to a year in an outdoor environment.
Thermal Transfer.
This is an inexpensive, matte paper stock with excellent flood coating and imaging properties. This stock has a regular permanent adhesive and is not suitable for outdoor use. Thermal transfer is also suitable to be fed through thermal printers that use a ribbon. We recommend this stock if you’re wishing to achieve a smooth matte appearance.
