SCHEMAT ETYKIETY

 A- POLYMER

This parameter is the base film that constitute the base of a label. It has significantly higher durability than self-adhesive film. It is very flexible so it perfectly adapts to the surface.

B-C BASE MTERIAL / PAPER

This parameter means some base layer of a label – you may choose between a paper label and a film label.

THE LABEL WITH THE PAPER BASE LAYER

We recommend using the paper labels mainly indoors, in dry conditions. If your labels are to be used outdoors, we recommend that you additionally choose the laminate to protect the labels against smudging, scratching and to increase their resistance to the environmental influence. We have a wide range of papers constituting the base material in the following versions: matte or glossy, and many variants of adhesives. Below we present examples of the paper:

- matte paper,

- glossy paper,

- ‘Termo Top’ thermal paper (such labels are used mainly for frozen products)

- silver/gold metallized paper (such labels are often used in promotion and advertising, their decorative effect is very similar to the embossed foil but it is much cheaper for the customer),

- fluorescent paper (available in many color versions: green / red / orange / yellow),

- Inkjet paper (for the labels designed for water-based Inkjet printing).

THE LABEL WITH THE FILM BASE LAYER

We recommend using these labels outdoors – the labels are resistant to any dirt and chemicals. The additional advantage of this label group is their water-resistance and resistance to smudging. We offer several types of the film. For example, PE film (made of polyethylene) is highly suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The polyethylene film is a stretchable material and it is well suited for both flexible containers and squeezable containers. Polyethylene plastic is characterized by low UV-resistance. So, we recommend that the labels should not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time.

The second type of the base material is PP film (made of polypropylene). This material is also well suited for both indoor and outdoor applications. It is characterized by high resistance to weather conditions. The polypropylene plastic is highly durable and it performs well in labelling rigid and round containers.

Still another material is PVC film. This material is even more resistant to environmental factors. This plastic is characterized by resistance to both low and high temperature, to dirt, oils and fats, and chemicals. Polyvinyl chloride is a flexible and durable material.

What should you consider when you choose a base material for your label?

STORAGE > what weather conditions will the label be exposed to?

PROCESSING > temperature resistance – taking into account the forecast storage of the labelled product in future, assumptions of the sector of the market/industry.

CONTAINER > place where the label will be applied, rigidity, flexibility.

TRANSPORT > how will the label be delivered? Is it possible that the carrier will put it in danger of being scratched, contacting sea water, etc.?

Miejsce 1.Klej permanentny (odznaczający się dobrą wytrzymałością wewnętrzną i przyczepnością początkową na trudnych i apolarnych podłożach- PE, PP)

Miejsce 2.Klej akrylowy (modyfikowany klej odznaczający się dobrą przyczepnością do wielu różnych materiałów, w tym podłoży typu: PE i PP)

Miejsce 3.Klej usuwalny (klej przeznaczony głównie do powierzchni typu papier biały, matowy, błyszczący. Przyczepność kleju do powierzchni jest niska, znacznie większa w przypadku podłoża foliowego, daje to jednak możliwość całkowitego usunięcia warstwy kleju bez uszkodzenia zawartości etykiety).

In majority of our labels you may choose the number of printed pages, numbering options, label opening and the following colour variations:

1 COLOUR - BLACK

D LAMINATE/ UV VARNISH

Laminate provides a protective coating for the label content. We offer two versions of the laminate thickness for you to choose from: 0,025 mm and 0,03 mm. An alternative to laminate is UV varnish that also provides a protective function. It is available in two versions: glossy or matte.

E THE WARNING TRIANGLE

We offer the possibility of putting the warning triangle marking on your label, available in two sizes: 9 mm and 18 mm. This marking is designed for the group of visually impaired persons. Just recently we have implemented an innovative method that we offer to you – possibility of putting a warning triangle on your label in the form of direct print.

WYMIARY:

We are able to provide you with labels in any selected size. The maximum width of your label may be 280 mm, the maximum height of your label may be 360 mm. We can produce labels in any shape chosen by you. We offer 4 core diameters for you to choose from – 26 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 76 mm.
