Considerations when selecting labels
Various factor enter into your decision to select the best quality label for your specific needs : usage, methods, condition of the object to be bonded and the working environment itself. In this regard, let us further
elaborate to maximize the effectiveness of your selection.
(1) To what kind of surface will the label be attached, and what is the condition of the surface to which the label will is attached?
- An adhesive suitable for use can be selected and developed effectively only when the strength and the kind of adhesive is selected with due consideration of the surface of the object that label is to be bonded. The
reason that the kind of object that it will be bonded to is an important factor is that grasping the difference between the adhesive power which the label has and the surface tension of the object is the most important factor. Also, you can only select a stable label when the adhesive is specifically selected, depending on whether label is to be attached to a flat surface or a round surface, or if there is embossing and what size the embossing is.
(2) To what is the method of the label attachment?
- Labels can be manufactured to comply with customer’s use only when it is exactly determined whether it is to be attached by automatic labeler or attached manually after printing. There would be no adverse ramifications in the
case of manual work or general labeling, but, the flow of adhesive glue could be a deleterious factor using a barcode machine or automatic labeler.
(3) What is the condition of the working environment where the labels are made?
- A stable label can be manufactured only when it is considered that during the work, any contamination of the object to be attached, with impurities will decrease the final adhesive properties, as will an excessive
time between adhesive coating and attachment to the intended object.
- For example, it stores liquid of 80°C after label is attached at ordinary temperature.
(4) How to store the label after attachment?
- Even though label is attached stably, the kind of label and condition of adhesion should be checked without fail, depending on how store it and what the condition of surroundings is. If, after attachment, it is affected
directly by moisture or outdoor temperature, the film style product is more stable than paper style and the solvent type is much more stable than the emulsion type.
(5) For which purpose is the label to be used?
- A label can be manufactured to comply with the customer’s requirement only when it is considered whether the label shall be attached permanently to the object, or desquamation is required again, whether it is used
for a universal purpose or some special physical property is required such as heat resistance, cold resistance, water resistance, moisture resistance etc.
(6) How much dimorphism of the label is required?
- The product can be optimized according to what general weight is required or dimorphism should be separated heavily as middle weight, considering the method of printing, kind of laminating after printing work,
tension of the printer, and the use of the machine during label work.
(7) How do you maintain the labels optimum properties?
- Label product is affected a lot depending on how you store the original material during use and/or how you store the remaining material after use.
- Do you store it under condition of uniform temperature and humidity?
- Do you properly pack it for storage?
- Do you comply with the first-in, first-out method?
- Do you store the rolls horizontally?
