Over the past 50 years the composition of a self adhesive label has not changed one bit.

The label still consists of just three basic components, a face material which is the surface you print on that ends up on the product or packaging, an adhesive layer that enables you to stick it on to the product or packaging and a backing material which enables you to handle the sticky label until you want to apply it.

What has changed enormously over the years is both the range and quality of all three components which now gives the end user endless possibilities for a label's use.

A huge range of face materials, both paper and synthetic come as standard now with acrylic, hot melt and solvent adhesive options for label applications ranging from address labels on cartons in blast freezers to batch code labels on electronic circuit boards which remain hot 24 hours a day. Adhesives of course can now be freezer grade, permanent, removable, repositionable etc etc etc. Backing materials have evolved slowly by comparison, with the basic choice of glassine paper or kraft paper over many years only recently joined by polypropolene ...
... films.

Despite all these changes, whether your requirement is a coloured product label, an address label, a barcode label, a blank label to go through a label printer or anything else for that matter, the user's requirement is exactly the same as it was 50 years ago. Does it look good and convey my message, does it stick to the product or packaging the way I want it to, can I get it when I want it and is the price acceptable for the quantity I want to buy?
