Pressure Sensitive Labels

Your Primary Source for Pressure Sensitive Labels

As the most common type of label (predicted to represent 67% of the label market by 2023), we can’t say enough about the effectiveness of pressure sensitive labels (PSL or PS label). Simply put, they stick onto a product’s surface when pressure is applied (kind of like a sticker), so you don’t need heat, water or any special solvents to make them stick. Depending on the type of label adhesive, they can easily be removed or endure some pretty unfriendly environments.

Pressure Sensitive Labels

While you can only see the top of a pressure sensitive label when it’s on a product, the entire label actually contains 3 layers:

  1. Liner: The backing material with release coat
  2. Adhesive: The coating that helps the label stick to the surface of a product
  3. Facestock: The coating and print surface material
