Choosing the Right Adhesive

Material and finish usually get the most attention, but the adhesive underneath matters just as much. Label Express offers removable, permanent, high-tack and temperature-resistant options, specified for your exact application.

01

What Are Label Adhesives?

The adhesive is the layer that bonds a label to its surface, chosen independently of the label material or print process, based on how long it needs to stay in place, what surface it's applied to, and the conditions it will face.

02

Types of Label Adhesive

Removable Adhesive

Used to produce removable labels for temporary applications where the label needs to come away cleanly, without leaving residue.

Super-Tack Adhesive

Built for long-term, heavy-duty applications where the bond needs to last the full lifetime of the product.
