Knowing the end use or application of your labels is essential. It impacts the choice of face stock, adhesive and liner as well as options for printing and finishing. Here are some of the questions you can expect and how it helps to give you the best possible solution:

  • Where is it going and what do you want to achieve?
  • What is the size of the label?
  • How many labels do you want or use & over what period of time?
  • How is it being applied?
