One of the most common problems with pressure sensitive adhesive labels is the selection of the correct adhesive to meet your requirements. If unsuitable adhesive products are used this can lead to poor bonding with your object surface, leading to easy peeling or, in the worst scenario, even falling off completely.
Many factors can impact on the selection of the correct adhesive type. These can include;
1. If your label is meant to be permanent or temporary, indoor or outdoor.
2. Differing surfaces on which the label is to be applied. Some materials such as low energy plastics, rubber, powder or paint coated finishes on metals or galvanised steel can prove to be more difficult and not suitable for lower specification adhesives.
3. Surface textures. Is your surface smooth and flat, curved, stippled or textured, or uneven?
4. Operating conditions. This can include low or high temperature use, high levels of humidity, presence of moisture, resistant to chemicals, excessive ultra-violet light or need to be flame retardant.
Bear in mind that most adhesives prefer to be applied at temperatures of 10° C, and need to be applied to clean, dry, dust free surfaces, with an absence of oil or silicone sprays. On treated surfaces, after initial application, the adhesive will continue to cure and fuse to the surface, to create a secure bond after 24-72 hours.

Here at Label Source, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a huge range of signs, stickers, and labels for all occasions. We understand that everyone has different requirements and try to cater for all of these. The range of choice may seem overwhelming, so we’ve created this blog post to explain the various label material types, so you can pick the right label material for your needs.
This general label type is ideal for stationary use or where temporary labels are needed. Cost-effective and reliable, these get the job done. Often used in office environments or for packaging, these are easy to write on and come in a range of designs and colours.
Of course, paper labels will eventually get damaged with wear so if you need something that will last we would recommend looking into more hardy label materials.
These are sturdier and longer lasting than their paper alternative. Self-adhesive vinyl is resistant to liquids and is more difficult to damage. They are ideal for indoor use but can also be used in covered outside areas that do not face particularly harsh elements. Like paper, they can also be printed upon.
Although sturdier than paper, there is a chance that self-adhesive vinyl can wear and begin to un-stick. If you need labels that will constantly face harsher elements or need an outside label that will last, we would advise you to look at a more permanent label material.
We sell an extensive range of aluminium foil labels for a wide range of uses. Unlike some other flimsier label materials, foil can withstand extreme temperatures from minus 45 degrees to up to 130 degrees Celsius. If your labels are to be placed in an environment that exposes them to harsh elements, aluminium foil is a fantastic label material. Unlike general labels, these foil labels won’t become burnt, damaged of unstuck.
These labels use an extremely strong adhesive, so once they are stuck they are incredibly difficult to remove. This is great for permanent labels and makes them very difficult to steal if you are using them on mobile assets. However, if you plan to move your labels often, you should consider a more suitable label material.
If you need any advice about which label material types are best for you requirements, we are more than happy to advise! Just give us a ring on, 0800 3761 693.
