What is self-adhesive label printing

Self-adhesive label printing, also known as self-adhesive label printing or pressure sensitive paper printing, is a special printing technology used to make self-adhesive label materials. This label material is made of paper, film or special material, the back is coated with adhesive, and the silicon protective paper is coated as the base paper to form a composite material. After the printing is completed, the label can be pasted on a variety of substrates without additional coating glue, so it is widely used in various fields.

Characteristics of self-adhesive label printing

Self-adhesive: The biggest feature of the self-adhesive label is that it is self-adhesive, which makes the label pasting process simple and fast, without additional gluing equipment and processes.

Material diversity: The fabric of the self-adhesive label can be paper, film or special materials, which can be selected according to the use environment and requirements of the label to meet the special needs of different waterproof, moisture-proof, oil resistance and so on.

Environmental protection: there is no need to glue and dip in water during the printing process of the self-adhesive label, which reduces environmental pollution, and the label can be recycled, meeting the requirements of environmental protection.

High efficiency: self-adhesive label printing process is mature, high production efficiency, suitable for large-scale production.

Self-adhesive label printing process

The basic process of self-adhesive label printing usually includes the following steps:

Design and layout: According to customer needs to determine the size, shape, color, font, pattern and other elements of the label, and make design drawings.

Printing preparation: Prepare the printing plate, convert the designed drawing into the printing plate file, and carry out the preparation work such as color adjustment and calibration.

Printing: The use of printing presses to print patterns, text and other information on the surface material, printing methods are letterpress, gravure, offset, flexo and other options.

Surface treatment: Surface treatment of the printed label, such as laminating, stamping, indentation, etc., to improve the beauty and durability of the label.

Cutting and waste removal: Cut the printed and processed labels to remove excess backing paper and adhesive to obtain the finished labels.

Packaging and transportation: The finished product labels are packaged for transportation and storage, ensuring that the labels are not damaged during transportation.

Application field of self-adhesive label

Because of its convenient, fast, environmental protection and other characteristics, self-adhesive labels are widely used in various industries and fields, such as food, beverage, medicine, daily chemical, electronics and so on. In these industries, self-adhesive labels play an irreplaceable role as an important product identification and information transfer tool.

In summary, self-adhesive label printing is an efficient, environmentally friendly and multi-functional printing technology, which brings great convenience to modern life.
