Understanding Labels
Materials are the top sheet part of the label construction, which we print on. We have a vast range of options, and the key categories of materials are explained here.
The adhesive is the sticky underside of the label. There are some key categories of adhesives that suit different applications including hot melt, acrylic and removable.
Liners are the carrier sheet for the label and adhesive. The choice of liner type is important to ensure your labels apply easily whether automatically or manually.
There are two methods of thermally printing labels with variable information; direct thermal and thermal transfer.
