Question
What is a pressure sensitive label?
Answer
A pressure-sensitive label is a self-adhesive label that sticks to a surface simply by applying light pressure. There is no need for water, heat or a separate glue, you peel it from the liner, press it down, and the adhesive does the rest.
- Peel and stick: the adhesive is already on the label, activated by the pressure of your hand or a machine.
- Fast application: no drying or curing time, which makes it ideal for high-volume labeling.
- Versatile bonding: works on glass, plastic, metal, cardboard and more.
- Available with permanent or removable adhesive depending on how long it needs to stay.
Most product, shipping and branding labels are pressure sensitive because they are quick, clean and reliable to apply.
