Label types

Six sectors, and the specific thing that changes about the label in each one — which is almost always the adhesive, not the print.

The thing that comes back

It is nearly always the adhesive.

Almost every label failure we are asked to diagnose is an adhesive problem. A permanent acrylic on recycled kraft in a cold store lifts at the corners within a fortnight. A removable on a glass jar that gets hand-washed does not survive the first wash.

Neither is a print fault and both are avoidable at the quoting stage, which is why we ask what the product is, what it is made of, and where it spends its life — before we ask about the artwork.

For anything unusual we will run a sample and post it to you to test on your actual product, free, before you commit to a run.
