Multilayer labels or peel-off labels and their application

Nowadays, multilayer adhesive labels find wide application because product packaging must, by law, provide more and more information. They are a flexible solution for marking products with a large amount of information. At the same time, they help maintain the aesthetic appearance of the packaging. They are also an innovative tool for marketing strategies.

 

Dilcom produces multilayer labels, perfect for labeling in a wide range of industries.

 

Multilayer labels are also called peel-off labels, peel and reseal labels, peel and reveal labels, three-layer, double-layer or double-sided adhesive labels. They consist of two or three label layers. Thus, with the same size as a single-layer label, three or even five pages of important information can be included in a single peel off label. This provides space for a large amount of information to be included in a very small area.

 

Label layers can be peeled-off and adhered back repeatedly. When peeling off the first layer of a multi-layer adhesive label, other information appears written on the bottom layer. When the top layers peel off, they retain their adhesive properties. Thus, they can be reapplied to another surface, such as a packing slip, order or other document.

 

They use a special removable adhesive. That is why, for a period of time, they are easy to remove and do not leave a residue on the other label layers. This quality makes them similar to removable labels and printed removable stickers.

 

On them, manufacturers can include multiple language translations, nutrition data, regulatory information, additional product data, and company information.

 

Peel off labels are suitable for products and objects with flat and curved surfaces, as well as those with irregular shapes. They are often applied to the bottom, side or top of a product or its packaging. The location of the label depends on the manufacturers' wishes.

 

Multilayer adhesive labels are mainly used in the food and cosmetics industry. They are also very often used for chemical and pharmaceutical products, because these products require a large amount of information to be present directly on the product.

 

Multilayer labels are perfect for these industries. This is due to the fact that in recent years the regulatory requirements for the amount of information recorded on labels have changed very rapidly. Nowadays, labels for these industries must contain a very large amount of data.

 

Another advantage is their cost efficiency - two-layer and three-layer labels allow you to include large quantities of information or data in different languages, at a more cost-effective price per label area.

 

How are peel-off labels made?

The multilayer label consists of an easy peel adhesive label, attached to another adhesive label. The label layers are strongly adhered together at the end and cannot be separated. The bottom layer has a strong adhesive that holds the entire label to the product.

 

The top layers use a unique adhesive. It allows you to peel off the layer, read the additional information imprinted below, and re-glue it easily.

 

Multilayer labels are most often made of paper or film such as polyethylene or polypropylene. They are produced with conventional printing technologies such as flexo or digital printing. The plastic and paper labels can have a glossy or matte finish.

 

Double-sided labels are standard adhesive peelable labels, but they also have an imprint on the back, printed on the adhesive layer. They are suitable for products with transparent plastic or glass surfaces.

 

The variety and flexibility of these labels will help you provide more information to consumers without complicating your label design. Multilayer labels are an economical alternative for printing detailed product information.
