Categorization of Labels
Product labels can be broadly categorized into:
- Removable product labels
- Non-removable product labels
Removable Labels
As the name suggests, removable labels are labels that can be removed and provide light and temporary bonds. These labels come with custom-made adhesives and do not leave any residue of adhesive on the surface when removed. The surface material remains unfazed after the label is removed. These labels are not considered ideal to be used for surfaces or applications that easily succumb to moisture, cold, heat and corrosion.
Non-removable labels
Non-removable labels on the other hand are a permanent solution. Unlike removable labels these labels cannot be removed. It goes without saying that the degree of permanence doesn’t work on just one factor. A number of factors including, time, surface material type, environmental conditions and application determine it. If you attempt to remove non-removable labels, they may pull or even tear the surface.
Conclusion
Product labeling has been crucial for marketing since ages. But that’s not it. It is important for regulatory compliance purposes as well. It also helps your achieve brand identity and beat the heat of the competition. As a manufacturer, you are mandated to label your products for providing key information such as ingredients, expiry date, batch number, and safety instructions to name a few.
