Selecting the appropriate material for double-wrap labels ensures their effectiveness in various industries, including logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage. This guide will help you understand the key factors when choosing materials for your double-wrap labels.
- Durability. Double-wrap labels must withstand frequent handling and various environmental conditions. Choose options such as polyester or polypropylene offering high tear resistance and can maintain their integrity throughout the product’s journey.
- Adhesive Strength. The label must adhere securely to the package surface, even when wrapped twice. Consider the surface you’re bonding to and select an adhesive that provides strong, long-lasting adhesion. For long-term applications, a high-performance acrylic adhesive may be ideal.
- Print Quality. The material should allow for clear, high-quality printing to ensure that all information, including barcodes and text, remains legible. Top-coated materials often provide excellent print receptivity for various printing methods.
- Temperature Resistance. Depending on the application, labels may need to withstand extreme temperatures. For example, labels used in automotive or industrial settings might require materials that can tolerate high heat. Look for options with appropriate service temperature ranges.
- Flexibility. Double-wrap labels need to conform to various container shapes and sizes. Select flexible materials to ensure proper adhesion and readability around curved surfaces.
- Cost-Effectiveness. While choosing high-quality materials is important, consider the cost, especially for major operations. Find the appropriate combination of quality and price by assessing the label’s intended life expectancy against its price.
