What is PE label
It is a kind of label and facestock is PE film which is coated on the surface and with adhesive on the back.
PE label structure
PE label structure contains facestock，adhesive and liner
PE film label advantage and disadvantage
Advantages:
1.It has good tensile performance and can be used in soft bottles.
2. Non-toxic, environmentally friendly.
3. Waterproof, oil-proof, and can maintain a certain degree of flexibility at low temperatures.
Disadvantages: Relatively poor high temperature resistance, not suitable for use in high temperature environments.
How to choose correct PE label?
1)First we need to know what kind of label facestock we need,transparent or white label?
2)When we choose PE label adhesive,we should also consider labeling working temperature so that we can choose correct adhesive for you.
3)If items are in very high or very low temperature,we need to consider solvent adhesive,but it is not eco-friendly.
PE Label application
1. Cosmetic,food, beverage packaging, such as bottles, jars, etc.
2. Cleaning products, such as detergents, washing liquids, etc., because of its waterproof and chemical resistance
PE Label printer options
Supports digital printing, offset printing, flexo printing.
PE Label storage suggestion
PE Label shelf life:12 months
PE Label storage suggestion:
This material must be stored at a temperature of 23±2ºC and 50±5% of Relative Humidity.
Storage area must be dry and clean.
Keep the material in the original packaging when not used in order to protect it from dust and contamination.
Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat sources.
Whether it is during transportation or warehouse storage, the product should be placed vertically.
What is the difference between PP and PE labels?
PP labels (polypropylene labels) features include:
1. Better stiffness, harder material
2. Commonly used in daily chemical products and cosmetics labels, suitable for heat transfer printing
3. High transparency, especially suitable for transparent bottles, can realize the visual effect of no labels
4. Suitable for machine bi-directional stretching treatment, also known as BOPP, excellent durability.
PE self-adhesive (polyethylene self-adhesive) is characterized by:
1. Soft material, good resistance to extrusion, but poor resistance to stretching
2. Commonly used in the need for frequent extrusion and easy to deform the body of the bottle
3. Thickness (80 ~ 100μm) to increase the stiffness, commonly used in large-area labeling materials
4. The colors are bright white, matte white, bright silver and transparent.
How can you tell PP labels and PE labels?
When distinguishing between PP labels and PE labels, you can check the hardness, transparency of the material, and the application scenario of the label. For example, if the label is used for transparent bottles and needs to have a good visual effect, PP stickers may be a good choose. If the label is used for bottles that is soft and need to be squeezed frequently, PE label may be a good choose.
In addition, thermal synthetic BOPP labels can be used for heat transfer printing, while PE label can't.
