What are the Benefits of a PS Label?

A pressure-sensitive label (PSL) is a label that contains a special adhesive that makes it adhere securely to the surface of a product when the proper amount of pressure is applied. PSLs are perhaps the most common types of labels found on consumer products today, and there are several reasons why. If your company or organization needs a new product labeling solution, PSLs should be high on its list of considerations for the following four reasons, among others. Read on for the many benefits of the PS label.

One of the benefits of the PS label includes its ability to conform to unique shapes. When combined with a sufficiently strong adhesive, the thin, tough consistency of high-grade PSLs allows them to adhere to various types of package contours, from low-degree curves to high-degree angles. As every packaged product producer knows, the visual attractiveness of a product has more to do than with how it appears on the shelf. The package must also remain attractive after the product is purchased, and a well-executed PS label helps it to remain so.

So-called “no label” PSLs feature a transparent design that often contains the name of the product and a few pieces of important, supporting information on an otherwise clear label. These types of labels tend to be common on cosmetics in order to help prospective customers observe the color of the cosmetic they might purchase. No label PSLs are a great option for products whose contents create a strong, visual appeal that is worth showcasing to buyers.

Another great benefit of PS labels is the low minimums and low start up costs. Press sensitive labels are using to use right “out of the box”, and don’t require the long setup times of gluing applications. PS labels can be applied easily by hand and easily through auto application machines.

Most PSLs come standard with high-performance adhesive that prevents them from slipping, wrinkling, bubbling, etc. while the product that contains the PS label is used or stored. Yet, there is also the option to have a performance adhesive specially formulated to address unusual conditions in the environments where labeled containers are used and stored. Such conditions may include unusual temperatures, unusual moisture levels, and fast evaporating solvents.
