Overview #
PE self-adhesive labels are self-adhesive labels that use polyethylene (PE) plastic as the base material. Due to the characteristics of polyethylene, PE self-adhesive labels have good elasticity, tensile resistance, waterproofing, and chemical resistance. These characteristics make PE self-adhesive labels widely used in the labeling of various products, including cosmetics, food and beverages, cleaning products, etc.
Structure and Manufacturing #
PE self-adhesive labels mainly consist of the following layers:
- Surface material: usually polyethylene plastic, used to accept printing ink.
- Adhesive layer: used to stick the label to goods or other surfaces.
- Bottom paper: to protect the adhesive from damage and to be torn off when used.
The process of making PE self-adhesive labels includes selecting polyethylene as the base material, applying adhesive, attaching the bottom paper, printing, and cutting.
Characteristics #
PE self-adhesive labels have the following characteristics:
- Elasticity and tensile resistance: Polyethylene plastic has good elasticity and tensile resistance, making PE self-adhesive labels applicable to product surfaces of various shapes.
- Waterproof: Polyethylene plastic is waterproof, so PE self-adhesive labels can be used in damp or liquid environments.
- Chemical resistance: Polyethylene plastic has good resistance to many common chemicals, making PE self-adhesive labels suitable for packaging chemical products or use in chemical environments.
Application Range #
Due to their elasticity, waterproofness, and chemical resistance, PE self-adhesive labels are widely used in the following fields:
- Cosmetics: Bottles, jars, and other packaging often use PE self-adhesive labels.
- Food and beverages: PE self-adhesive labels can be used to label food and beverage packaging, such as bottles, cans, bagged food, etc.
- Cleaning products: Due to the waterproof and chemical resistance of PE self-adhesive labels, they are often used for labels of cleaners, detergents, and other products.
In general, with their elasticity, waterproofness, and chemical resistance, PE self-adhesive labels have become the ideal choice for various product packaging.
