Analysis of Printing Processes for Special Functional Labels

This page introduces the special printing processes of SailingLabel’s functional labels, including removable, reusable, and tearable labels, widely used in B2B sectors, libraries, rental services, and daily chemical industries.

Functional Label Types and Features

Functional label types are an innovative application in the labeling industry, offering a variety of functional designs that meet the demands of different application scenarios. Based on functionality and usage requirements, functional labels can be divided into three categories:

self adhesive label

Removable Labels

These labels use specially designed low-tack adhesive formulas, allowing them to be easily removed without leaving any residue. They are ideal for short-term label applications, such as promotional tags and temporary signage.

Reusable Labels

These labels feature medium-tack adhesives that retain strong adhesive power even after multiple removals and reapplications. They are commonly used in scenarios where frequent repositioning is needed, such as in libraries, offices, and product labeling.

Tearable Labels

Tearable labels are designed to be torn quickly without damaging the label content. They are suitable for industries such as rental, packaging, and one-time applications.

Removable and Reusable Adhesive Formulas

For functional labels, the adhesive formula is crucial, especially for removable labels and reusable labels. The adhesive performance directly affects the label's usability and durability. Common adhesive formulas include:

Removable Adhesives

These adhesives typically have lower adhesion, ensuring the labels can be easily removed after short-term use without leaving any residue. They are perfect for promotional activities, temporary signage, etc., and eliminate the issues caused by long-term adhesion.

Reusable Adhesives

These adhesives feature a medium-tack formula, maintaining strong adhesion even after multiple removals and reapplications. They are ideal for scenarios where frequent repositioning is required, such as library book labeling and equipment labels in the rental industry.

Materials and Design of Tearable Labels

Tearable labels are designed to be torn quickly without damaging the label content. Their unique materials and design make them stand out in various application scenarios, especially in the rental industry, packaging, and one-time use.

Selection du materiau

Tearable labels are often made from synthetic paper, thermal paper, or materials with perforations, ensuring that the label can be torn without damaging its content.

Surface Coating

To enhance the label's durability and adaptability, many tearable labels feature waterproof and oil-resistant coatings. These coatings ensure that the labels remain attached and clear even in wet or greasy environments.

Tearability Design

The design of tearable labels includes precise perforations and special tearing processes, enabling the label to be easily torn without damaging the content. This design is widely applied in rental, one-time use, and packaging industries.

Application Trends of Eco-FriendlyRemovable Adhesives

  • Biodegradable Materials: Eco-friendly removable adhesives use biodegradable components, ensuring that labels break down naturally after use and reduce environmental impact.
  • Non-Toxic and Safe: Eco-friendly adhesives are free from toxic chemicals and do not harm human health or the environment. They are especially suitable for sensitive industries such as food packaging and medical devices.
  • Recyclable Materials: With the promotion of the circular economy, more labels are being made from recyclable materials, used in conjunction with eco-friendly adhesives. This not only reduces waste but also improves resource efficiency.

Industry Case Studies:Libraries and the Rental Industry

Functional labels have been widely applied across various industries, particularly in library management and the rental industry. These two industries have unique labeling needs, as shown in the following case studies:

Libraries

Libraries use reusable labels to identify books. These labels can be reapplied and removed multiple times without damaging the book covers or leaving adhesive residue. This makes them ideal for libraries that frequently update book information.

Rental Industry

In the rental industry, tearable labels are widely used. Equipment rental companies use these labels to mark rental equipment. Customers can easily tear off the labels when renting and returning equipment, improving efficiency and reducing the hassle of label removal.

Industry Compliance and Label Printing Technology Standards

Compliance with industry regulations is a critical requirement for businesses entering the market. Especially in certain industries (such as food, medical, and chemicals), label printing technologies and materials must meet strict standards:

eco-friendly label printing

Industrie alimentaire

In the food industry, labels must not only meet the requirements for clearly displaying ingredients and nutritional information but also comply with food safety standards such as FDA and EU food labeling regulations. Papier thermique and synthetic paper are widely used in these labels because they ensure the label remains intact in moist and oily environments.

Medical Industry

Labels in the medical industry require strict hygiene and anti-counterfeit functions, with materials that typically need to meet FDA and ISO certifications. Removable adhesives and waterproof coatings are widely used in medical labels.
