What are the options for the material of the label paper

There are many options for label materials, the following are common materials and their characteristics, expressed in points and summarized appropriately:

Thermal paper:

Features: Paper treated with highly thermal sensitive coating, highly sensitive surface material can be used for low voltage printhead, minimal wear to the printhead.

Application scenario: It is mainly used for electronic scale labels in supermarkets and chemical laboratories.

Note: not waterproof, not oil proof, tear.

Coated paper:

Features: Smooth and delicate surface, smooth printing color, strong color printing reduction.

Application scenario: Information label of medicine, food, edible oil, wine, beverage, electrical appliances, cultural supplies.

Note: Can not be used for thermal printer printing, for carbon tape printer printing, can do color.

Writing paper:

Features: Multi-purpose label paper, rough surface, writable.

Application scenario: Information label, barcode printing label, especially suitable for high-speed laser printing, but also suitable for inkjet printing.

Note: No special waterproof and oil proof requirements.

Synthetic paper (can not tear labels) :

Features: Carbon tape printing, can be white or color, has the characteristics of tear.

Application scenario: A variety of applications require durable labels.

Note: No special waterproof and oil proof requirements.

PET and PVC labels:

PET characteristics: high heat resistance, is not recyclable.

PVC characteristics: poor heat resistance, can be recycled.

Application scenarios: Electrical, hardware, mechanical, and electronic equipment.

Notes: PVC label waterproof sunscreen, can be refrigerated, bright color, never fade; PET label toughness is strong, crisp and hard.

BOPP tag:

Features: The appearance is transparent film.

Application scenario: Widely used in transparent body daily chemical supplies.

Note: No special waterproof and oil proof requirements.

Asian Silver Tag:

Features: The face paper is made of Asian silver material, and the glue is oil glue and water glue.

Application scenario: A variety of occasions that require metal texture labels.

Note: No special waterproof and oil proof requirements.

In addition, there are water-soluble paper labels (quickly dissolves in water, high-end environmental protection), removable labels (using removable glue), kraft paper self-adhesive labels (with color, retro color performance) and electrostatic sticker stickers (by electrostatic adsorption on the smooth surface, leaving no traces) and other material options.

When selecting the label material, it is necessary to consider the use of the label, viscosity, durability, size and shape, printing method, color and pattern requirements and environmental requirements, etc., to ensure that the most suitable label material is selected.
