What Is Pressure-Sensitive Labeling?

Pressure-sensitive labeling (PSL) is a simple yet highly versatile method of applying labels to various products and containers.

Unlike traditional labeling methods that require heat, water, or glue, PSL relies on a pre-applied adhesive that bonds to the surface with just a touch of pressure. This is adaptable to several uses and leads to effective applications.

Key Components of Pressure-Sensitive Labels

Each layer of a pressure-sensitive label plays a key role in its performance and application. We’ve provided a breakdown of the key components:

  • Face Stock

    The top layer, typically paper or film, provides the printable surface for your branding and product information. This provides a canvas to create expressive designs.

  • Adhesive

    This bonding agent ensures the label adheres securely to the container, and it comes in various formulations (permanent, removable, repositionable) to suit your products.

  • Release Liner

    The backing material protects the adhesive until the application occurs to ensure the label remains intact and peels off smoothly for efficient and accurate product placement.

  • Topcoat (Optional)

    This protective layer enhances durability and resists abrasion, moisture, and UV exposure. It guarantees your label looks its best for an extended product life.

  • Varnish (Optional)

    While not a physical layer, varnish provides added sheen or protection against smudging and scratches to the face stock to improve the visual look of the product and increase sales.
