Pressure Sensitive Labels

 


 

 

Next Generation Glass and Plastic Packaging

Pressure sensitive is a label technology in which printed labels are peeled from their liner and transferred to the container with pressure.  They are virtually self adhesive stickers.

Pressure sensitive labeling is an extremely versatile, low-cost application that nonetheless produces sharp, bright colors in a wide variety of applications. Multi-Color’s production options include rotogravure, UV screen, UV flexographic and conventional flexographic printing. This most popular method of labeling is suitable for both short and very long runs. A broad range of paper stocks, films and other specialty substrates – from wine stocks to industrial composites – can be used to further allow labelers the ability to dictate the quality/cost matrix. Pressure sensitive labels can also be produced using both permanent and repositionable adhesives. They can be used on almost any material from glass bottles, to plastic, to metal auto parts. PSLs are an excellent choice for on-product promotions and expanded label contents and can be applied either by hand, or by automatic label application equipment. They can be designed for a multitude of end-use environments from pantry shelves to the harshest of outdoor conditions.

Manufactured at Multi-Color's facilities in Batavia, OH, Green Bay, WI, and Norway, MI; the labels are printed on combination flexographic and rotogravure presses. Based on the aesthetic requirements of the customer, the labels are coated with a press varnish, laminate or UV coating.
