What is self-adhesive material, and how does it differ from ordinary paper?
Self-adhesive material, commonly known as sticker paper or self-adhesive film, is a multi-layer composite material. Unlike ordinary paper, it consists of a face material (such as paper or film), a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a release liner (backing paper). The built-in adhesive allows it to bond instantly to surfaces without requiring water, heat, or solvents, making it ideal for labels, stickers, and protective films.
What is the difference between self-adhesive paper and self-adhesive film?
This is the key distinction for selecting the appropriate material.
- Self-adhesive paper: Features a paper-based face material. Suitable for high-quality graphic printing, offers breathability (accelerating ink drying in some cases), and is typically more eco-friendly and cost-effective. Ideal for product labels, shipping labels, and indoor promotional stickers.
- Self-adhesive film: Surface material consists of plastic polymers like PP, PET, or PVC. Offers durability, water resistance, and tear resistance, often with a glossy or matte finish. Ideal for outdoor applications, liquid bottle labels, premium-feel product labels, and harsh environments.
Which self-adhesive material is best suited for outdoor use with waterproof and UV-resistant properties?
For products potentially exposed to damp, condensation, or refrigerated environments, waterproof films and adhesives are critical. Our white PP or PET films are ideal choices. They form strong, durable bonds on glass and plastic surfaces, while their non-porous surfaces prevent moisture from damaging printed graphics or adhesives. Correspondingly, we offer self-adhesive materials with refrigeration-grade or freezer-grade adhesives, ensuring labels remain intact even at -60°C.
I need a label material suitable for potential moisture exposure or refrigeration/freezing. Do you have any recommendations?
For products that will face moisture, condensation, or refrigeration, a water-resistant adhesive film is essential. Our White PP Film or PET Film are excellent choices. They provide a strong, permanent bond on glass and plastic, and their non-porous surface prevents water from damaging the print or the adhesive. Avoid paper-based materials for these applications, as they will warp, fade, or peel.
Do you offer eco-friendly or recyclable self-adhesive materials?
Yes, sustainability is a growing trend, and we offer several solutions. Our PVC/PET/PP self adhesive film are all eco-friendly.
What is the best label material for laser printers?
Our products all suitable for label printing, whether on label paper or self-adhesive film.
What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs), and can I get samples?
As a factory, we pride ourselves on flexibility. For startups and small businesses, we offer low minimum order quantities for standard materials and volume discounts for large orders. Yes, we encourage customers to request samples! You can order low-cost sample kits to test material print quality, surface finish effects, and adhesive performance before placing a formal order. Contact us and tell us your specific needs.
Do you provide custom slitting and cutting services?
Sure. We are not just manufacturers, but solution providers. We can customize slitting rolls to your exact width and diameter specifications, while also offering die-cutting services to create custom shapes and sizes for various applications, saving you time and production costs.
