Self Adhesive Labels
Self adhesive labels are pressure sensitive labels that stick to surfaces when you put pressure on them. Water or any kind of solvent is not needed for these labels to stick to any surface. Some factors like surface tension and the existence of contaminants can impact the effectiveness of self adhesive labels. There are other environmental factors which can also affect the labels ability to stick to a surface, like temperature and moisture for example. Special adhesives are available to assist with special environmental labelling requirements.
Colourful paper labels have been used since the early 1880s to identify products. They were introduced to Australia by artists from Europe and the most commonly used printing processes at the time were letterpress and lithography, the first commercial arts. The goal of label production was as simple then as it is now - to try and catch the customer's eye. Today, many of the labels that were used in the past are collectible and can be found and bought at antique stores.
In the 1930s, R. Stanton Avery was the first self adhesive label manufacturer and made it a globally successful business that is still operating today. But then the invention of the inkjet printer in the 80s changed everything. When the inkjet commercialised, people started to print their own labels.
Now, most industries and their products use labels. Why? Because they are very enduring and last for years, most of them are resistant to water and they do not peel off easily. Most wine and beverage companies opt for self adhesive labels because they withstand degradation from substances and when they are kept in coolers, refrigerators, etc.
Self-adhesive labels are also considered very economical, not only for the industries that use them but for the manufacturers as well. The modern day manufacture of printed labels is very fast and is dominated by flexographic printing processes, and now also digital printing is playing a large part, enabling printers to supply smaller volumes of labels, with greater flexibility for variants within the run. Modern label manufacturers produce more units quicker and for less cost than any kind of traditional labelling methods, making the use of self adhesive labels more accessible to anyone involved in packaging of goods.
And another one of the many benefits of self adhesive labels is their great versatility. These labels can be designed to be of any size and fit any shape a container or product may have. They can be decorated with various features and sub surface printing is also possible.
