Physical Label Material Selection (Pressure-Sensitive Labels)

YUEHELE

Guangdong Yuehele Label Material Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise integrat
ing scientific research, production, sales, technical support and service for users.

Pressure-sensitive labels consist of face material + adhesive + release liner. Selection criteria:

1. Face Material

TypeCharacteristics & ApplicationsFood Industry Use Cases
Coated PaperLow cost, high print quality; not water/oil-resistantDry foods (crackers, tea boxes)
Synthetic PaperWater/oil-resistant, tear-resistant (e.g., PP, PE)Frozen foods, beverage bottles
Film MaterialsPET/PP: Temperature-resistant; PVC: Flexible (note eco-compliance)Soy sauce bottles, chilled goods
Specialty PaperKraft paper: Natural texture; Food-grade laminated paper: Sealed against leakageOrganic foods, bakery packaging

2. Adhesive

TypePropertiesApplications
Permanent AdhesiveStrong bond; leaves residue upon removalGlass jars/rigid packaging
Removable AdhesiveNo residue; repositionableFresh produce/promotional tags
Freezer AdhesiveMaintains adhesion at -40°CFrozen dumplings, ice cream
High-Temp AdhesiveWithstands steam sterilization (>100°C)Canned/sterilized foods

3. Release Liner

TypeProperties
Glassine LinerThin, durable; ideal for high-speed labeling
Kraft LinerThick, rugged; suited for manual application
Transparent PET LinerHigh clarity; used for visual-effects labels

Key Factors for Selecting Pressure-Sensitive Labels

  1. Storage Conditions
    • Frozen foods → Synthetic paper (PP) + Freezer adhesive
    • Oily products (e.g., condiments) → PE film (barrier properties)
  2. Container Material
    • Glass/metal → Permanent adhesive (high adhesion)
    • Plastics → Test adhesive compatibility
  3. Printing Requirements
    • High-resolution graphics → Coated paper/glossy PET
    • Anti-counterfeiting needs → Specialty papers (e.g., thermochromic ink)
  4. Regulatory Compliance
    • Direct food contact labels → Meet GB 4806 (China) / FDA (USA) / EU 10/2011 standards
    • Migration testing for inks/adhesives
  5. Cost & Efficiency
    • Mass production → Glassine liner (high-speed applicators)
    • Short-term promotions → Removable adhesive
