Pressure sensitive labels

One of the most popular labeling methods in the world, pressure sensitive labels (PSLs) are compatible with almost any container shape or product type. Our numerous material options offer unlimited possibilities to enhance your brand and products. 

Are pressure sensitive labels right for your brand?

Pressure sensitive labels are cost-effective and fully customizable, creating vibrant packaging that disrupts any market. As indicated in the name, pressure sensitive labels adhere to a surface with pressure. Because they stick without water, solvents, or heat, these labels easily apply by hand or machine applicator.

Our label manufacturing process

We take rolls of film and paper – in a wide variety of materials, gauges and widths – and manufacture them into custom product labels, extended content and promotional labels, and functional labels. From printing to converting, we have everything needed to complete this process in-house.

Step 1: Printing
Once approved, your label begins production. Our digital and flexographic print platforms can handle anything from simple line work to complex process jobs with picture-perfect precision. Depending on the print platform, we will also apply specialty embellishments like foils, screens, and varnishes during this step. Our print platforms are positioned to meet the rising demand for faster lead-times and shorter runs.
Step 2: Embellishments
Depending on the print platform, some embellishments may be added to your label off-line on specialty machines. We can print embellishments digitally, or even variably, which can change the embellishment size, shape, or location on every label.
Step 3: Die cutting
After the printing process, the printed material enters the die cut stage where it is cut into your specified label shape. We die cut using traditional rotary dies, or by using a digital laser cutter, which offers a tool-less method that can achieve multiple special shapes in one roll. During this stage, we also strip the matrix.
Step 4: Slitting and finishing
After die cutting, we slit master rolls into smaller rolls, one label wide. We then wind the labels onto the core size that you specify in your finishing specs.
