Different Adhesives for Different Applications
The demands on labels can differ immensely depending on the industry and the product. Not only the right material is crucial, but also the adhesive. At label.co.uk you have a large selection of different adhesives. Choose between permanently adhesive, strongly adhesive, removable adhesives or even adhesives for special requirements such as our deep-freeze adhesive.
label.co.uk offers the right adhesive for every application and every product. Info: All our materials in the calculator are permanently adhesive as a standard. Of course, you can also get many other materials on request – feel free to contact us and we will advise you on which of our materials and adhesives are best suited to your application and product.
Please note: Not every adhesive is available with every material. Special adhesives are only available in combination with certain face materials.
Moreover: If you store your labels correctly – i.e. in a dry place and protected from strong UV light – the adhesive will retain its adhesive strength for approximately one year. Please note that the adhesive strength decreases with increasing storage time. For this reason, the labels should be processed as soon as possible after receipt.
