Pressure-Sensitive Labels
Pressure-sensitive labels (PSLs) are self-adhesive labels that stick firmly to surfaces with a little pressure, no heat, water, or extra glue needed. They work much like high-quality stickers but are designed for more than just looks.
PSLs are essential for product packaging, branding, and compliance labeling. They appear on everything from food containers, medicine bottles, cosmetics and household goods. Their ease of use and strong adhesion make them a go-to choice for businesses that need fast, reliable, and professional-looking labels across a variety of industries.
Common Applications
- Food & Beverage Packaging
- Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare (compliance labeling)
- Cosmetics & Personal Care
- Automotive & Industrial Products
Why Pressure-Sensitive Labels Matter
- Efficiency & Speed: PSLs can be applied fast. Either by hand or with automated machines, reducing production time.
- Versatility: They stick to a wide range of surfaces, including glass, plastic, metal, and cardboard. This makes them ideal for food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and more.
- Professional Appearance: High-quality printing options ensure products stand out on shelves.
- Regulatory Compliance: Many industries, like pharmaceuticals and food, require labels with critical information. PSLs help ensure clear, durable labeling for safety and legal compliance.
- Durability: Resistant to moisture, chemicals, and wear, PSLs stay intact even in challenging conditions.
Pressure-sensitive labels aren’t just about sticking things onto products, they’re essential for branding, safety, and efficiency in modern packaging.
