Self-Adhesive Label refers to a label with pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back, which can be attached to a surface by light pressure. In foreign trade, this term is commonly used to describe product packaging, logistics identification, or brand stickers. Usage scenarios include: outer carton labeling for export goods, information labels on the product itself, barcode labels, etc. Precautions: specify the adhesive type (e.g., permanent, removable), face material (e.g., coated paper, PET, PVC), printing method, and weather resistance requirements to avoid detachment or blurring during transportation. Unlike 'wet glue labels', self-adhesive labels require no water activation and are more convenient to use; compared with 'heat shrink labels', self-adhesive labels do not shrink with temperature changes and are suitable for flat or simple curved surfaces. In foreign trade contracts, specifications, quantity, winding direction, and packaging method should be clearly stated to prevent customs delays or customer complaints due to label issues.
📝 Examples
1. Please prepare self-adhesive labels for this batch of goods exported to Germany. The labels must be printed with the German product name and barcode, and ensure they do not fall off at minus 20 degrees Celsius. (Note: Emphasizes the label's low-temperature resistance to meet German climate requirements.)
2. We require all self-adhesive labels to use removable adhesive so that customers can easily peel them off after receipt without leaving residue. (Note: Specifies the adhesive type to meet customer needs for packaging integrity.)
