Freezer-Grade Labels

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.

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. This means that 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.

As a professional label printer we produce your self-adhesive roll labels for the deep-freeze area made according to your custom needs. We can produce your labels either rectangular, round or in your bespoke shape. The packaging is also carried out exactly according to your specifications, so that you can use our labels on rolls in all common labelling systems and further processing machines or print them subsequently with your printer models. You decide which inner diameter your roll cores have and which outer diameter your label rolls have. Our label rolls are suitable not only for machine printing but also for manual further processing.

You can also give free rein to your imagination when designing your deep-freeze labels. Choose the right one from our wide range of special materials and give your label the finishing touch with one of our refinements. Whether metallic labels, hot foil stamping in gold, silver or rose gold or blind embossing for a special feel – with label.co.uk nothing is impossible. Discuss your ideas with our customer service team and find out what possibilities there are for designing your label, because even a deep-freeze label should look good at the point-of-sale.
