Glossary

Repositionable adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that allows a label to be easily repositioned or moved to a new location after it has been applied to a surface.

This type of adhesive is commonly used for applications where precise placement of the label is required, such as in graphic design, scrapbooking, or arts and crafts. It is also used for applications where the label needs to be adjusted or repositioned multiple times before final placement, such as in the labeling of laboratory specimens or in the organization of files and folders.

Repositionable adhesives are designed to provide enough adhesion to keep the label in place during normal handling and use, but allow the label to be easily peeled away from the surface and repositioned without tearing or losing adhesion. They typically have a lower level of tack than permanent or removable adhesives, which helps to ensure easy repositioning.

There are different types of repositionable adhesives, including those that are water-based, solvent-based, or made from synthetic rubber. The choice of adhesive will depend on the specific application and the type of surface that the label will be applied to. It is important to choose the right type of repositionable adhesive to ensure that the label can be easily repositioned without damaging the surface or losing adhesion.
