I need some labels – do you have different types of finish/adhesive/background?
Label material has two layers: the self-adhesive part and the backing sheet.
- The adhesive sheet comes in four surface finishes:
- Vellux (like paper)
- MC90 (a matt coated finish)
- gloss
- high gloss.
If the item is to be written on, choose vellux or MC90; if you want a gloss finish, choose accordingly; otherwise just choose MC90. We can also print on label stock that is coloured (pastels and intensives), metallic or can create a background wash colour for you.
- Adhesives themselves comes in three types:
- supertack
- permanent
- removable
If the item is to be removed later, chose removable; if the item is to be stuck to a non-paper surface (e.g. plastic folder), choose supertack; otherwise just choose permanent.
- Backing sheets come in three types:
- solid back
- score back
- crack back.
If the item is to be kiss cut, then solid back is best; if the item is to be cut down to a small label size (e.g. smaller than A6) than crack-back may be best; scoreback is suitable for larger labels.
We can also print on lickable gummed paper in a range of colours.
If you aren't sure what you need please ring us and ask for some samples.
