Pressure-sensitive labels
Pressure-sensitive labels are among the most widely used labels worldwide. From food and drink to logistics, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications: you see them everywhere; the market is highly developed and quality standards are high.
At the same time, the market is changing. Whereas in the past you might have produced just a few label designs in high volumes, today’s market demands greater diversity, resulting in more private labels and greater personalisation. Meanwhile, the supply chain is under pressure. So, as a manufacturer, you are seeking greater control over your supply chain, you want to respond more quickly to customer requests, and you are looking for ways to stand out in a highly competitive market.
For an increasing number of label manufacturers, this raises the same question:
Should we continue to source laminates, or should we take the hotmelt coating process in-house?
More control through in-house coating
The traditional labelling supply chain comprises suppliers of raw materials and semi-finished products, label printers/converters and end users. Within this supply chain, an increasing number of converters are opting for vertical integration and are starting to produce pressure-sensitive laminates themselves. That is a major step. But it is also a step that creates many new opportunities.
What are the key benefits of in-house coating?
By building labels from scratch, you set the rules and regain control over quality, product characteristics, and output. Discover how to leverage coating technology effectively within your own organization.
Your challenge in pressure-sensitive laminates
The application of pressure-sensitive adhesives requires a precise coating process. Variations in coating weight, temperature, material tension or curing can have a direct impact on the performance of the end product. Furthermore, different material combinations must be able to be processed smoothly without any loss of quality or production downtime.
To successfully address these challenges, maximum control over the entire coating and lamination process is essential. From conditioning the adhesive to applying it and controlling web tension, every step influences the end result.
