Pressure sensitive labels

The workhorse of the label industry, and the majority of what leaves our floor. A printed face stock, an adhesive and a release liner — supplied on rolls, ready for hand or automatic application.

How it works

Pressure sensitive means the adhesive bonds under finger or roller pressure alone: no water, no heat, no solvent. The label is die-cut on the roll and the waste matrix stripped away, so what reaches you is a continuous roll of finished labels on a liner.

  • Most container types

    Bottles, jars, tubs, drums, cartons and bags all take a pressure sensitive label.

  • Any run length

    Economical from 1,000 up to millions, since only the tooling is once-off.

  • Where the spec has to change

    Face stock, adhesive and finish are chosen independently, so the construction can be tuned exactly.

  • Automatic application

    Supplied wound and directioned to suit your applicator.

What we'll ask you

Answering these up front is the fastest route to an accurate quote.

  • The container material, since HDPE, PET, glass and board all key differently.
  • Whether application is by hand or on a line, which sets winding direction and core size.
  • What the label has to survive, which drives adhesive and whether a laminate is needed.
