Printed labels are used in a wide variety of industries and applications, from product labels and packaging to identification tags and promotional materials.
There are many different types of printed labels, each with its own unique features and benefits. We will explore some of the different types, as well as their various finishes and use cases.
Material Type
One of the first things to consider when choosing a printed label is the type of material it will be made from. The most common materials for printed labels are paper, vinyl, and polyester.
Paper labels are the most economical option and are ideal for indoor use. They are not as durable as vinyl or polyester labels, but they are suitable for short-term or low-volume applications.
Vinyl labels are more durable and resistant to water, oil, and UV light. They are ideal for outdoor use and can withstand harsh environments.
Polyester labels are the most durable option and are resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and abrasions. They are often used in industrial applications.
Finish Choice
Another important factor to consider is the finish. There are several types of finishes available, each with its own unique properties and benefits.
Matte finish labels have a non-reflective surface and are ideal for printing small text and intricate designs, excellent where glare is a problem.
Gloss finish labels have a shiny, reflective surface and are ideal for printing bold, vibrant colours.
Laminating a label adds a protective layer and improves its durability. Spot laminates create some fantastic effects giving a truly bespoke finish.
Use Cases
There are many different use cases for printed labels. In the retail industry, labels are used to identify and price products, as well as to provide product information and instructions.
In the healthcare industry, labels are used to identify medications and medical equipment, as well as to provide warning labels and instructions for use.
In the transportation industry, labels are used to identify and track parcels, as well as to provide warning labels and instructions for handling.
In the food and beverage industry, labels are used to identify and provide information about the ingredients, nutritional value, and expiration dates of products.
Printed labels can also be used for promotional purposes, such as creating custom labels for special events or for branding purposes.
