Adhesives for different labelling requirements

The type of label that you require will dictate the type adhesive that you will need for your products. You may want your labels to stick permanently to the product or to be easily removed. You may also want some time to readjust the label before the adhesive sets. What you will need to consider is the roughness of the products contact area where you intend to place the label. If the surface of the product is rough then the adhesive will only come into contact with the raised area of the surface which results in a smaller contact patch. This poses quite the problem for removable adhesives, and test applications will have to be done before commercial labelling can progress. Consider the shape also as this can place limitations on the adhesive that may be used. Box corners can pose quite the problem with edge lift, so a suitable face stock coupled with a strong adhesive will avoid any edge lift that will make the label and product on the whole look untidy.
