Selecting a pressure sensitive paper can be easy when you have all
the important information. That's why we have put together a list
of questions to ask in order to select the best product for the
end use. The more information you have about performance, construction
and service requirements, the easier it will be for GPA to help
you with your pressure sensitive paper selection. It is important
that you fully test any substrate prior to production and application.
Following are the questions to ask in order
to identify which facestock and adhesive will work best for your
application:
What is the end use or application?
What will the label be applied to?
- Application Surface (i.e. plastic, corrugated,
metal)
- Surface Texture/Shape
What environmental conditions will the label
be exposed to?
- Indoor/Outdoor
- Low/High Traffic Area
- Application Temperature (temperature at the time
substrate is attached or applied)
- Service Temperature (temperature while the substrate
is in use)
- Humidity
- Moisture
- Sunlight
- Food Contact
- Chemicals/Solvents
How long does the label need to remain
applied?
What
is the size of the finished label? How
will the label be applied?
- Hand Applied
- Machine Applied
What method of printing will be used?
- Conventional Offset
- UV Offset
- Screen
- Digital
What type of graphic finishing will the
substrate require?
- Die-Cutting
- Scoring
- Folding
- Perforating
- Foil Stamping
How long will it be stored prior to use?
