Custom adhesive label production requires careful consideration of details such as material, manufacturing process, and intended application scenario to ensure the final product meets your needs. The specific points to note are as follows: 1. Clearly define the application scenario and environment Before proceeding, you need to determine the substrate on which the labels will be applied (e.g., glass, plastic, metal, cardboard) and the usage environment (indoor vs. outdoor, high temperature vs. low temperature, humid vs. oily conditions). For example, outdoor labels should use weather-resistant materials such as PET or PVC; cold-chain labels must be resistant to low temperatures and condensation to prevent edge curling, peeling, or fading. 2. Choose the right substrate and adhesive type Substrates include paper-based materials (such as coated paper and thermal paper, suitable for short-term indoor use) and synthetic papers (such as PET and PP, ideal for long-term use or harsh environments). Adhesive types include permanent adhesives (difficult to remove, suitable for fixed labeling), removable adhesives (leave no residue after removal, perfect for temporary labels), and low-temperature adhesives (suitable for cold-chain applications). Select the appropriate adhesive type based on your specific needs. 3. Confirm printing and content details Text, barcodes, and graphics must be clearly legible; barcodes must meet scanning standards. Specify whether colors should be printed using CMYK or spot colors to avoid color discrepancies. Also, leave an appropriate bleed margin (typically 3 mm) to prevent content loss during cutting. 4. Control dimensions and die-cutting accuracy Label dimensions should match the size of the object being labeled; for irregularly shaped labels, ensure precise die-cutting accuracy. Before mass production, it’s recommended to produce a sample first to check the dimensions, adhesion effect, and print quality, thus avoiding costly rework in bulk production. 5. Calculate costs and delivery timelines Clearly define the minimum order quantity, unit price, shipping costs, and any rush fees. At the same time, confirm the production and delivery lead times to avoid delays that could impact your project schedule.
