The Foundation of Product Labeling
Pressure-sensitive (PSA) labels are the standard across virtually every industry — food, beverage, pharma, industrial, retail, and logistics. The combination of face stock, adhesive, and liner makes them the most versatile label technology available.

We print PSA labels on flexographic presses for high-volume runs and digital for short runs, versioning, and variable data — the right process for your volume and application.
Material selection is where most label failures start — the wrong face stock or adhesive for the environment. We help you specify the right construction the first time, whether it's glass bottles in an ice bucket, containers in a freezer, metal parts around solvents, or packaging on a store shelf.

Face Stock & Material Options
Six core face stocks — each with the jobs it's built for. Hover a card to bring it forward.
Coated Paper
The workhorse — bright printability, cost-effective for long runs. White, matte, gloss and semi-gloss.
White BOPP Film
Waterproof, tear-resistant film. The standard for beverage and supplement bottles that see moisture.
Clear BOPP Film
The "no-label look" — the film disappears on the container for a premium, printed-on-glass effect.
White Polyester (PET)
Exceptional stability and chemical resistance. Holds up to solvents, oils and extreme temperatures.
Vinyl
Flexible and conformable for curved or textured surfaces, with excellent outdoor durability.
Specialty & Security
Textured and destructible films for tamper-evident, security and specialty product applications.

Some adhesives are chosen by temperature, others by surface. Here's the whole range on one scale.
Temperature-driven
Surface-driven (not about temperature)
High-tack
Aggressive bond for rough, textured or low-energy plastics like HDPE and polypropylene.
Removable
Clean removal with no residue — price tags, promos, quality-hold and returnable containers.
Rubber-based permanent
Grabs hard-to-stick surfaces and low-energy plastics where acrylic won't hold.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pressure-sensitive label?
A pressure-sensitive label is a self-adhesive label that bonds to surfaces when pressure is applied — no heat or water required. The construction consists of a face stock, adhesive layer, and release liner. PSA labels are the most common format used in retail, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
What face stock materials do you offer?
We offer coated and uncoated paper, white and clear BOPP film, white and clear polyester (PET), vinyl, and specialty materials including textured and destructible films. Material selection depends on your application environment, container surface, required durability, and print process.
What adhesive options are available?
We offer permanent, removable, repositionable, high-tack, freezer-grade, and high-temperature adhesives. We match the adhesive to your application surface, temperature range, and removal requirements.
