Guide to selecting the right label film

Some factors for selecting the right film and adhesive:

  • Storage (weather conditions, temperature range, UV stability, moisture, heat, cold, dirt, dust, contact with chemicals)
  • Transport (resistance to seawater, scratch resistance, aging resistance)
  • Containers (surface tension, formability)
  • Further processing (thermal resistance, printing technology)
  • Migration regulations (food labels)

The material of the product packaging and its properties are just as important as the label material itself. Especially with packaging made from low-energy plastics (e.g., PE film / PP film) or rough surfaces of other materials, extra strong adhesives with high initial tack are recommended. In addition, the formability of the immediate product packaging plays a crucial role in selecting the appropriate film material.

General guide to choosing the right film for your labels:

PE film

  • for deformable containers and packaging not exposed to high thermal stress
  • cost-effective
  • toxicologically safe
  • also suitable for fatty foods, etc.

PP film

  • for rigid containers that are not deformable and must withstand higher temperatures
  • more tear-resistant than PE and PVC materials

PVC film

  •  for outdoor storage and for goods with long transport routes overseas or extended storage and delivery times within the country
  • UV-resistant, aging-resistant, resistant to seawater
  • Conformable even on uneven surfaces
  • does not require an extra barrier layer to prevent plasticizer migration
  • not suitable for food contact
