Labels for Cold Temperatures
In both the food and pharmaceutical industries, it is essential to label products permanently and safely even at temperatures below zero degrees Celsius. We offer standard as well as special materials and adhesives that are ideal for cooling temperatures. Whether individual labels, blank labels or labels in fluorescent colours – our cold-resistant materials and adhesives are fit for a large variety of applications. Thanks to sharp printing images and high resistance to moisture and temperature they not only guarantee reliable adhesion but also excellent legibility.

Deep-freeze adhesive vs. standard adhesive
Labels with a deep-freeze adhesive require different handling than those with a standard adhesive. Our standard high-gloss white paper with freezer adhesive is the best proof of this. This is a material with a special adhesive that we can activate for you in your personal calculator. There are a few things to bear in mind during application to ensure that the labels adhere reliably to your products:
#1 Application temperature: One of the most important factors is the temperature of the product at the time of application. The so-called application temperature should be at least -25°C. Even frozen products, such as ice cream tubs, can be labelled.
#2 Resting time: You should also give the freshly labelled products a little time and allow them to ‘rest’ before exposing them to further temperature differences. This also helps the adhesive to reach its full adhesive strength. We recommend a resting time of at least 20 minutes.
#3 Manual labelling: In the event that you apply your labels with deep-freeze adhesive to your products by hand, special care must be taken. Make sure you press the labels evenly and firmly onto the product. This is the only way to ensure a reliable adhesion.
The guidelines are slightly different for the labelling process of materials with our standard adhesive. Materials with standard adhesive should be applied at temperatures above 0°C. They can then withstand temperatures between -20°C and +80°C, while labels with freezer-grade adhesive are suitable for temperatures between -40°C and +60°C.
‘In terms of quality I haven’t come across other labels that come close and my designs turned out exactly as intended.’

Finishing Touches
With our versatile range, we are prepared to print labels for a large variety of industries with many different requirements. Moreover, the premium embellishments we offer give your freezer-grade labels a luxurious appearance:
Blind Embossing:
Blind embossing is a classic finishing technique in label printing. It dispenses with colour highlighting and only impresses with a partial deformation of the label material.
Hot Foil Stamping:
Need a real eye-catcher? Then hot foil stamping is just the thing for you! This luxurious finishing makes sure your products shine at the point of sale.
Relief Embossing:
Relief embossing is essentially a combination of blind embossing and hot foil stamping. The process creates a deformation that is simultaneously combined with a coloured hot foil.
Digital Spot Varnish:
Spot varnish is applied to specific points on the material using a PDF print file. So, what makes it special is that it needs no customised tools.
