Does your business create products that need to be stored or transported in freezing temperatures? Products that need to be stored in a freezer will be subjected to cooler temperatures and even potential frost. So, traditional materials and adhesives used for common product labels aren’t heavy-duty enough. Freezer-grade labels utilize the materials necessary to keep labels on products that are stored at low temperatures, like in freezers, from falling off and being damaged not only during transit and storage but also in a consumer’s freezer. At Label Lead we will be able to discuss your application and make sure that the label will stick well throughout the entire package’s life.
Easy-to-peel Removable labels & stickers labels are ideal for any situation where you need to remove labels without damaging them and the application surface. Although they work on a variety of surfaces, a clean, dry surface works best with these labels. Compared to all temp adhesive labels, removable labels have a weaker “tack” which allows them to be peeled off ease without damaging the label or the surface. Removing All temp adhesive labels can damage the label or leave behind adhesive residue in the surface.
Apply, remove, and re-apply labels. Repositionable labels allow you to remove them shortly after application and reapply the labels without leaving behind adhesive residue or destroying the label. Since these labels use an acrylic-based adhesive the labels have short-term removal ability so they can be re-positioned or reapplied to another item before achieving permanent adhesion. This application is very common in production lines when a product has different stages of assembly.
