Glossary
There are various types of synthetic adhesive labels, each designed for specific applications and conditions. Some common types of synthetic adhesive labels include:
- PolypropylenePolypropylene is almost similar to polyethylene but more durable and has higher temperature resistance Labels: Labels made from polypropylene, a versatile plastic material, are durable, tear-resistant, and water-resistant. They are suitable for applications requiring flexibility and resistance to moisture.
- PolyesterPolyester is a transparent film that has excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and other chemicals Labels: PolyesterPolyester is a transparent film that has excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and other chemicals labels are known for their excellent durability, resistance to harsh environments, and ability to withstand exposure to chemicals, oils, and solvents. They are commonly used for industrial and outdoor applications.
- Vinyl LabelsVinyl labels are synthetic plastic material made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They are known for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental factors. They are often used for a...: Vinyl labels are flexible and can adhere well to curved or irregular surfaces. They are resistant to moisture, UV rays, and chemicals, making them suitable for outdoor and industrial use.
- BOPPBOPP, also known as biaxially-oriented polypropylene, basically a polypropylene (PP) stretched in two directions to flatten it. It is non-toxic and highly resistant to solvents and acids (Biaxially Oriented PolypropylenePolypropylene is almost similar to polyethylene but more durable and has higher temperature resistance) Labels: BOPPBOPP, also known as biaxially-oriented polypropylene, basically a polypropylene (PP) stretched in two directions to flatten it. It is non-toxic and highly resistant to solvents and acids labels offer good printability, clarity, and resistance to water and oils. They are often used for product packaging and labeling applications.

They are tear-resistant, waterproof, and can withstand tough conditions.
- Tyvek Labels: Tyvek is a tough, lightweight synthetic material that is resistant to water, chemicals, and abrasion. Tyvek labels are commonly used for medical, industrial, and laboratory applications.
- Tamper-Evident Labels: These labels are designed to indicate if a label has been tampered with or removed. They are often used for security and authentication purposes.
- High-Temperature Labels: Labels made from synthetic materials that can withstand high temperatures are used in applications like electronics manufacturing or industrial processes where heat resistance is crucial.
- Freezer-Grade Labels: These labels are designed to adhere well at low temperatures and are commonly used for labeling items stored in freezers or cold storage.
- Removable Labels: SyntheticWhen we talk about materials, "synthetic" means something that people make in factories or labs, not something that you find naturally in the world (and include plastics). Synthetic materials are... labels with a removable adhesive are used when temporary labeling is needed, and the label needs to be easily peeled off without leaving residue.
These are just a few examples of the types of synthetic adhesive labels available. The choice of label type depends on factors such as the intended use, environmental conditions, and desired durability of the label.
