When most people think of product labels, they think of what is formally named a “pressure sensitive label” (abbr. PSL or PS Labels); however, they are often referred to as a self-adhesive label or sticker. Due to their versatile nature (and their ability to adhere to most shapes and surfaces), self-adhesive labels can be found on nearly any type of product and account for more than 80 percent of all labels in the market today.
Pressure sensitive labels/self-adhesive labels are the type of labels that peel off-and-stick due to their adhesive glue backing (comparatively to a sticker). These labels don’t require any heat, water or solvents to activate and can instead be applied to a products’ surface using only moderate pressure. Therefore, this label solution can be applied by hand or using a machine.
PS Labels (stickers) are highly versatile and can be applied to most shapes and surfaces, making them a viable option for most products. With a wide array of materials these labels can be made of, such as paper, film, and foil, and a multitude of adhesives available, these labels are able to be customized to your unique application needs. Some high-performance PS label adhesives can even last through extreme heat or cold, moisture and humidity, or a host of other environmental hazards.
