Self-Adhesive
Labels
Clarity, speed, and versatility are more important than ever for modern packaging. Self-adhesive (also known as “pressure-sensitive”) labels are one of the most efficient and adaptable solutions for branding and product identification.
From small-batch digital runs to high-volume flexographic production, VR Print specialises in producing engineered labels that deliver consistent quality across every industry.
What Are Self-Adhesive Labels?
Self-adhesive labels are pressure-sensitive constructions that bond cleanly to most surfaces (including glass, plastic, metal, and flexible packaging) instantly upon application, removing the need for heat, water, or external glues. These labels consist of three key layers: a printed facestock, an adhesive, and a release liner.
At VR Print, our self-adhesive labels are produced using:
- Flexographic presses to deliver speed, accuracy, and efficiency across paper, film, and synthetic materials.
- Advanced digital printing to ensure high-resolution clarity for shorter runs, variable data, and intricate designs.
Both systems utilise LED curing and extended colour gamut (ECG) printing to ensure vivid colour reproduction, faster turnaround, and reduced waste.
Why Brands Choose Self-Adhesive Labels
Self-adhesive labels are the global standard for product labels because they combine operational efficiency with design freedom. They apply quickly and conform to flat, curved, or squeezable surfaces, making them suitable for nearly any product type or packaging material.
