Cut and Stack Labels

Cut and Stack Labels

Cut and Stack Labels

Before the invention of the pressure sensitive labeling process, labels were simply glued to containers. This technology continued to evolve over the years into what we now call cut and stack labels, or wet glue labels.

Cut and stack labels are a versatile, cost-effective solution for large and mid-size quantity products. The product labels are printed on large sheets, then, as the name suggests, the label sheets are cut and stacked.

A successful cut and stack label requires a great understanding of the application method and adhesive being used, as that can determine what material and finish is used on the label itself. Fortunately, Blue Label Packaging Company can provide you with the expertise and technology to combine quality and affordability for your next run of cut and stack labels.
