As a wholesale supplier, we understand that our customers prefer to market our products with their own brand. To do so is simple:
The biggest decision up front is to decide if you need a permanent or removable label. Both types of labels are designed for application in temperatures roughly between 55° to room temperature.
Permanence in an adhesive is a combined function of the adhesive, face material, surface application, environment and time, and should be considered in the design and specification of a pressure sensitive label. A permanent label will have strong adhesion to a surface, usually the labels cannot be removed without damage to the label itself, or to the surface it’s on. No adhesive is truly permanent – just less removable than others.
A removable label requires adhesive and face material that will adhere to a substrate while remaining removable over a period of time. The period of use concept is important, since some adhesives considered removable may eventually become permanent. Depending on the surface to which the label is applied, some removable adhesives can build adhesion over time and may be difficult to remove in one piece, with minimal or zero residue. The rougher the surface, the easier the label will be removed, but the more difficult to adhere.
