Custom Pressure Sensitive Labels

If you’re looking for a product label, there’s a good chance that a pressure sensitive label (sometimes shortened to PSL or PS label) is what you want. When working with the right digital printing company, pressure sensitive labels can provide a cost-effective option for businesses in virtually every industry to brand their products.

What are Pressure Sensitive 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 no water, solvent, or heat is needed for the label to stick to the product. Not only can pressure sensitive labels be easily applied, they can also be easily removed by simply peeling the label off the container.

These custom pressure sensitive labels are printed and delivered in roll form and can come in a variety of materials, colors, die cut shapes, and sizes. Whatever you envision for your product labels, Blue Label Packaging Company can bring them to life.

Applications for Pressure Sensitive Labels

Pressure sensitive labels are easy to use, look great, and can contain all the important information you need. Pressure sensitive labeling can be applied to just about any type of package or container, including any size bottle, jar, or can.

The Components of a Pressure Sensitive Label

Pressure sensitive labels are composed of five parts:

  1. Liner
  2. Release coat
  3. Adhesive
  4. Face Stock
  5. Top Coat

The liner is the backing material, usually made of paper film or plastic film, that serves as the base layer for the other four layers. This layer is thrown away after application.

The release coat is a special coating applied to the top surface of the liner to oppose the adhesive layer. The release coat allows the adhesive layer to easily peel away from the liner and be applied to the package or container.

The adhesive is what holds the label to a given package or container. We’ve outlined many considerations for choosing the right pressure sensitive label adhesive.

The face stock is the label material used to construct the label itself and can be made of paper, plastic film, foil, laminate, or another material. This is the part of the label that the consumer will see.

The top coat is laminated on the face stock to protect the label and give it a finished look.

Selecting the Right Material and Adhesive for Your Pressure Sensitive Labels

Blue Label offers a range of materials and adhesives that allow us to create the perfect labels for your products. A few things you may want to consider is how the roughness and shape of your surface materials can impact the ability of your label to adhere to your packaging.

Additionally, conditions like humidity, moisture, light, and temperature may impact the material and adhesive used for your PS labels. But don’t worry; we’ll help you understand how to use the right label materials for your label application.
