Adhesives and Materials

A major advantage of self-adhesive labelling is the versatility and range of materials and adhesives available.

Understanding what is on offer is the key to making the right choices.

A self-adhesive laminate comprising of a facestock, coating, liner and adhesive are subtly engineered for the specific characteristics required.

Labels need to perform in a variety of conditions including extremes of temperature or perhaps in very dry or very humid conditions.

Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each material and adhesive is critical to selecting a label that will provide optimum performance throughout the product life-cycle.

This educational module aims to improve understanding and thereby help users make better, informed decisions on the basis of sound decision making.
