Inside Adhesive Labels

The Guide to Their Structure!

1

Surface Coating

Enhances material by smoothing, coloring, and protecting, ensuring ink adheres well. Mainly used on foils and films for vibrant prints.

2

Face Stock

The printable front layer with adhesive backing. It can be made of paper, plastic, or metal, chosen based on usage needs, and must retain ink effectively.

3

Adhesive

The glue that bonds the label. Available in water-based, solvent-based, and hot melt types, tailored to match the face stock and application for optimal performance.

4

Release Liner

The backing that supports the label, safeguarding the adhesive. Proper thickness and strength are essential for seamless printing and easy label removal.

Common Issues and Solutions for Adhesive Labeling

Even the best-designed labels can fall short if not applied correctly. A neatly applied label not only enhances the product’s visual appeal but also signals quality and attention to detail, helping your product stand out on the shelf. Let’s look at some common labeling issues and their simple solutions.

Bubbling and Blistering

Environmental Factors

Solution: Fluctuations in humidity and temperature can weaken adhesive. Keep your workspace stable with humidifiers or dehumidifiers.

Insufficient Pressure from Labeling Machine

Solution: Low pressure during application can cause bubbles. Adjust machine settings for a secure bond.

Unclean Surface

Solution: Dust and oil can prevent adhesion. Always clean surfaces thoroughly before labeling.

Static Electricity Effects

Solution: Dry air can create static issues. Manage humidity and use static elimination devices.

Wrinkling of Labels

Material Quality Issues

Solution: Low-quality labels can wrinkle. Choose high-quality, stable materials.

Moisture Absorption

Solution: Humid conditions can cause labels to absorb moisture and wrinkle. Allow labels to acclimatize before use.

Improper Operation

Solution: Untrained staff or unsuitable equipment can lead to problems. Provide adequate training and ensure the right tools are available.

Shape of the Item Being Labeled

Solution: Irregular shapes complicate adhesion. Design items with a smooth labeling surface in mind.

Lifting and Peeling of Labels

Insufficient Adhesive Strength

Solution: Weak adhesives can lead to lifting. Use strong adhesives and apply even pressure.

Rough Surface

Solution: Uneven surfaces can cause lifting. Smooth surfaces where labels will be applied.

Storage Environment Issues

Solution: High humidity, extreme temperatures, or prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken adhesive performance, leading to label lifting or peeling. Store products in a stable, controlled environment.
