Types of adhesive labels for printing
When printing adhesive labels, it is important to know the different options offered by the market, since each type of labeling has specific characteristics that are better suited to certain uses.
Below, we detail the most used types of labels.
Transparent adhesive labels for printing
Transparent adhesive labels are a very popular option among brands looking to give a sophisticated look to their products. They are suitable for packaging where the content is visually attractive, such as glass bottles, cosmetic packaging or gourmet products.
One of the great advantages of transparent labels is that they integrate with the packaging, which makes the design look like part of it.
They are made of materials such as transparent polypropylene or transparent vinyl, which offer resistance to humidity and chemicals. This makes them a great option for goods that are in contact with liquids or require refrigeration.
At the printing level, it is common to use opaque white inks to ensure that the content is legible on dark backgrounds or on the object itself, which sometimes interferes with the visibility of texts or graphics.
Round adhesive labels for printing
Round adhesive labels are perfect for containers that need small but impactful adhesives, such as jars, bottle caps or small containers. They can be used as warranty seals or to highlight promotions.
They are highly decorative, and are used for food products such as jams, preserves and wines, where a traditional style is sought. They are also used in cosmetic items, as the rounded design helps soften the visual presentation of the packaging.
Printing round adhesive labels allows great versatility in design. Being compact in format, they usually include concise and impactful information, such as logos, brand names or short slogans. Digital printing makes it easy to personalize each printed stamp.
Bottle labels: options and materials
Bottle labels are essential in the beverage, cosmetic and chemical sectors. These seals have to meet certain durability requirements, as the bottles are exposed to changing temperature, humidity and handling conditions.
They are found in different shapes and sizes, adjusting to the design of the packaging. They can be wrap-around labels that cover the entire surface of the bottle or smaller ones, such as neck or cap labels.
The most common materials for this type are:
Self-adhesive paper:
suitable for dry products and bottles that will not be exposed to moisture.
Polyester:
offers greater durability and is water resistant, perfect for drinks or products that will be refrigerated.
Vinyl:
used when a very durable adhesive is needed, resistant to wear and extreme conditions.
Adhesive label printing technologies and methods
There are various technologies for printing adhesive labels, each with its own advantages depending on the printing volume and the desired quality.
Here, we explain the most used ones:
Digital label printing: This technology has become very popular in recent years thanks to its customization capabilities. Digital printers allow you to print small runs and customized designs with last-minute changes without incurring high costs.
Thermal Transfer Printing: This method uses a heated ink ribbon to transfer the design. It is suitable for products that require durable, wear-resistant seals, such as industrial labels or for items that are stored outdoors.
Flexographic printing: This is a rotary printing method that uses flexible plates made of rubber or polymer. These plates transfer ink to the material using rollers, making it easy to print quickly in high volumes.
Screen printing: uses a mesh to transfer ink to the surface of the label, leaving blocked areas that do not receive ink. It is ideal for objects that require vivid colors, special finishes such as embossing or metallic inks, and for printing in small or medium runs.
