Choosing Your Vinyl Laser Label

Once you’ve learned what your options regarding facestocks and adhesives are, you can decide what kind of label would best suit your application. The questions that additionally help you do that are the following:

• Will my label contain a barcode? (Barcodes need to be perfectly scannable, which is why white facestock is usually recommended.)
• How long should the label adhere to the product? (The length of the label’s life depends on the facestock’s durability and the adhesive strength.)
• Will the label be exposed to harsh conditions? (chemicals, water, abrasion, UV…)
• Do I want all labels on the sheet to be the same size and shape? (You can have different sized and shaped labels on one sheet; it is the best to consult a printing press expert for these options.)
