In layman’s terms, the label adhesive is the glue that will ensure your labels stick to the required surface.
There are a number of different types of label adhesive which fall into two main categories, and the choice of where they are used will be made based on the label’s purpose. The most commonly used adhesives are permanent, where the label is not designed to be moved after contact is made.
Label construction is made up of three main components, with the materials chosen for each of these carefully selected to make sure they work best in the industry they are intended for and give maximum performance in each environment.

BOPP films (Biaxially Oriented PolyPropylene Films) are produced by stretching polypropylene film in both machine direction and transverse direction. BOPP film is used in vast range of applications comprising packaging, labeling and lamination. BOPP Films are preferred substrate for food packaging globally because of its inherent moisture barrier properties, seal ability, high clarity and graphic reproduction and shelf appeal, best possibilities of the pack being a mono layer/homogeneous structure. For food packaging, it is prominently used as co-extruded heat sealable reverse printable film. In labeling, it is preferred because of its yield benefit (Lowest density of 0.55 for IML orange peel effect), recyclability with PP containers et al. BOPP Films has a strong demand globally which is driven by expanding flexible packaging industry. The advantages BOPP offers are numerous.
