Label Stock Options

The "label stock" is the carrier which is commonly coated on one side with adhesive and usually printed on the other side. Label stocks can be a wide variety of papers, films, fabric, foils, etc.

Packaging Label Stock Types

• Puffy labels are made of either water, gel, foam, or air.
• Litho are one of the most common label stocks available.
• Latex Of the litho stock with some added latex, these labels are flexible and form perfectly around certain curved objects. They do this better than most standard litho labels.
• Foil - has the shiny properties of a metalfoil.
• Thermal - direct thermal label stock will change color (usually black) when heated. A heating element in the shape of letters or images can be used to create an image on the label. Custom labels can be easily be made on location in this way. A disadvantage is durability, because another heat source can ruin or obscure the image, or it may fade completely over time.
