Label It Right

Labelling store products or any items for everyday use can make life very easy, but knowing which labels to use, when can make it even better.

There are two basic types of self-adhesive labels namely permanent and removable. Each type of adhesive is made using different types of glues depending on the conditions the label will have to endure, the amount of time it is required to stick and the environment or conditions of storage.

These self-Adhesive labels are usually coated with an acrylic, rubber or water-based glue.

The labels can be printed on by laser printers, inkjet printers, photocopiers or handwritten. Laser printers and photocopiers are a hot process and it is recommended that A4 sheets of labels are only printed once for best results as the heat process evaporates the moisture in the adhesive each time it is passed through the printer.

Water-based adhesives should only be used and stored in dry environments.

Adhesive labels coated with rubber adhesives are preferred for their stickiness. However over time, they are prone to failure if exposed to the sun's UV rays. If the labels are not likely to be exposed to sunlight, this type of adhesive works well.

Acrylic-based adhesive labels can be easily moved around. This type of label adhesive is suitable for long-lasting products that need labels to withstand time and frequent handling.

Depending on the surface to be labelled and the lifespan of the label, there are four types of adhesives commonly used.

A Label That is Eco-friendly and Waterproof? (how to Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!)

Until now label buyers and packaging professionals had a tough decision to make when selecting label materials for moisture exposed products- go green, or go for performance. Label Impressions, Inc. and Natural Source Printing, Inc. have challenged that paradigm and teamed up to offer packaging buyers the best of both worlds with FiberStone™tree-free papers made from stone (rock paper).


FiberStone™ paper carries the lone distinction of being the only label material that carries a low carbon footprint (half that of virgin paper and one third lower than recycled paper), uses no water in the processing, consumes no trees, no chemical bleach, is ph neutral, AND most importantly performs. Jeff Salisbury, President of Label Impressions, Inc. adds this observation about FiberStone™ tree-free rock paper. "Simple Green soaked our printed FiberStone™ label samples in 100% Simple Green concentrate along side it's existing laminated paper labels. After just three hours the laminated label began to break apart, ink bled, and the label was rendered useless. Two days later the FiberStoneTM label was removed from the solution and was as good as new." Salisbury adds, "I don't know how much more proof of performance you can ask for from a 'green' label.  Even I was impressed!"


FiberStone™ tree-free rock paper has been used by Natural Source Printing, Inc. as a green printing and packaging material for over a year now. The material performs well as a gift back, folding carton, POP display and many other printing applications but has only recently become available as a label material. Mary Loyer, President of Natural Source Printing, Inc. revealed, "We have been working with converters and with Label Impressions, Inc. on the development of FiberStone™ label stock for over eighteen months. It took us awhile to get the right combination of coatings, adhesives, and print methods to convert FiberStone™ into a high performing, quality label stock. Label Impressions, Inc. committed hundreds of hours of press time and technical expertise to the development of this product and we are extremely grateful." "It's rare to find a partner in print that is so committed to the environment, and to keeping costs down. We knew that we'd have to make FiberStoneTM both an affordable and a high performing label material. Label Impressions, Inc. helped us acheive this."FiberStone™ label stock can be purchased with a wide-variety of adhesives and topcoating options exclusively from Natural Source Printing, Inc. Printed FiberStone™ labels can be purchased from Label Impressions, Inc.
