Sticky Labels
Sticky labels, also known as adhesive labels, are pieces of paper, plastic, or other material with an adhesive backing used to attach information to surfaces.
Material
- Paper: The most common material, often used for temporary labels like address labels or product identification. Paper labels are cost-effective but less durable.
- Plastic (Polypropylene, Polyester, Vinyl): Offer greater durability, resistance to water, chemicals, and temperature variations. Commonly used for outdoor applications, product packaging, or labels requiring longevity.
- Fabric: Used in specialized applications like clothing tags or laundry labels.
- Metal: Used for durable marking, identification, and branding.
Adhesive Types
- Permanent Adhesive: Designed for long-term adhesion and are difficult to remove without leaving residue. Typically acrylic-based.
- Removable Adhesive: Allow for clean removal without damaging the surface. Often rubber-based.
- Repositionable Adhesive: Allow for multiple applications and removals, ideal for temporary notes or organization.
- Specialty Adhesives: Designed for specific surfaces or conditions, such as high-temperature resistance or freezer-grade adhesion.
Purpose
- Identification & Organization: Labeling files, containers, shelves, and other items for easy identification.
- Product Labeling: Providing information about products, including ingredients, instructions, and branding.
- Shipping & Addressing: Used for mailing addresses, barcodes, and shipping information.
- Marketing & Promotion: Used for branding, promotions, and product information.
- Warning & Safety: Displaying warnings, safety instructions, or hazard information.
Function
Sticky labels function by utilizing an adhesive layer to bond to a surface. The adhesive is typically applied to the back of a substrate (paper, plastic, etc.), which features a release liner to protect the adhesive until application. Upon removal of the release liner, the adhesive is exposed and can be pressed onto the desired surface.
Usage Scenarios
- Home Organization: Labeling pantry items, storage bins, and files.
- Office Use: Labeling files, folders, and equipment.
- Retail & Packaging: Product labeling, pricing, and branding.
- Shipping & Logistics: Addressing packages and tracking information.
- Manufacturing & Industrial: Identifying parts, products, and equipment.
- Healthcare: Patient identification, specimen labeling, and medication labeling.
Common Types
- Address Labels: Pre-printed or blank labels for mailing addresses.
- Product Labels: Labels with product information, branding, and barcodes.
- Shipping Labels: Labels for tracking packages and providing shipping information.
- Barcode Labels: Labels with barcodes for scanning and inventory management.
- Price Labels: Labels for displaying prices and promotions.
- Warning Labels: Labels with safety instructions and hazard information.
- Tamper-Evident Labels: Labels that show evidence of tampering.
- Roll Labels: Labels pre-printed on rolls for automated application.
- Sheet Labels: Labels pre-printed on sheets for manual application.
- Blank Labels: Labels without pre-printing for custom designs.
