PVC is a common self-adhesive material widely used in labels, stickers, packaging and other fields. It is characterized by good weather resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, oleophobic resistance, and damage resistance, so PVC is a commonly used material for custom labels and stickers.

What are PVC Labels and Stickers?

PVC labels and stickers are labels or stickers made from PVC material. Due to the outstanding properties of PVC material, PVC labels are stickers also have excellent performance.

Outstanding Features of PVC Labels and Stickers

• Good Geometrical Stability: Non-flammable, high strength, invariant at high and low temperatures;
• Excellent Weather Resistance: Waterproof and sunproof, and can be used for a long time in outdoor environment without fading or peeling;
• Outstanding Chemical Resistance: It can remain stable in contact with a variety of chemicals and is highly resistant to oxidizing agents, reductants and strong acid;
• Superior Durability: Good resistance to grease and abrasion, suitable for a variety of complex environments;
• Easy Processing: Good flexibility, shrinkage and opacity, can be processed easily and have good labeling performance;
• Wide Range of Applications: Can be used in food packaging, beverage bottle labeling, electronic product labels, machinery labels, outdoor labels and other fields.

Applications of PVC Labels and Stickers

• Logistics and Warehousing

In the field of logistics and warehousing, PVC labels and stickers are widely used in cargo identification and inventory management. Through the printing of barcode, two-dimensional code and other information on the label, operators can realize the rapid identification and tracking of goods, improving management efficiency and accuracy.

• Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, PVC labels and stickers are often used for drug identification and drug traceability. By printing drug information, production date and other content on the label, it can ensure that the quality of drugs is safe and reliable, and facilitate the tracking and management of drugs by medical institutions and patients.

• Electronics Industry

In the electronics industry, PVC labels and stickers are often used for product identification and part traceability. As electronic components are small and precise, the use of PVC self-adhesive labels can be convenient for its identification and management, while ensuring that the label will not cause damage to the components.

• Food Industry

In the food industry, PVC labels and stickers are often used for food labeling and production dates. Due to the short shelf life of food, the use of PVC self-adhesive labels can easily track and manage food to ensure food quality and safety.

• Chemical Industry

In the chemical industry, PVC labels and stickers are often used for hazardous materials labeling, chemical management and other aspects. Due to the corrosiveness and toxicity of chemical products and other characteristics, the use of PVC self-adhesive labels can ensure the stability and durability of the label, while facilitating the management and traceability of chemical products.

How PVC Labels and Stickers are Made?

In addition to the excellent performance of PVC material, the production process is also very critical to the performance of PVC labels and stickers. The whole production process of PVC labels and stickers usually includes coating, printing, die-cutting and other processes.

In the coating process, it is necessary to select the suitable PVC material and apply the adhesive evenly on the substrate through the coating equipment. In the printing process, it is required to choose suitable ink and printing equipment to ensure clear printing effect and bright colors. In the die-cutting process, it is needed to select suitable die-cutting knives according to different shapes and sizes for accurate die-cutting processing.

PVC Labels and Stickers Manufacturing Process

Where can buy the BEST waterproof and sun-resistant PVC labels and stickers? Henging Industry, one of the largest custom labels and stickers manufacturer in China, we here introduce the manufacturing process of our PVC labels and stickers, check out how we ensure the quality of our PVC labels and stickers?

The production process of PVC labels mainly includes design and plate making, printing and die cutting.

Design and Plate Making

After receiving the request for quotation, our designers will design the style, size, color, logo and other elements of the label based on the customer’s needs. If the customer has drawings, our designers will reconfirm the design of the drawings.

Then, our professional staff will use computer software to draw, adjust and modify, and finally generate the electronic version of the label file and confirm with the customer again. These files will be used for subsequent printing and production.

Printing

Before printing, a suitable printing material and printing method need to be selected. Generally, flexible PVC plastic sheet or film is the main printing materials for PVC labels and stickers.

Commonly used printing methods include screen printing, thermal transfer printing, and lithographic printing. Among them, silkscreen printing is one of the most commonly used methods for the production of PVC labels and stickers since it can achieve a variety of colors and patterns.

In the printing process, the electronic file needs to be converted into a printing plate, which is then placed on a printing press to transfer the pattern by means of pressure, ink, and so on. After printing, the prints need to be dried to allow the ink to cure quickly.

Die-cutting

After the printing is completed, the printed PVC label sheets needs to be die-cut into the required size and shape of the label. Hengping Industry has advanced automatic die-cutting machine, which allows us to achieve high-speed, efficient and precise mass production.

Matters Needing Attention in PVC Labels Manufacturing

• The design of PVC labels or stickers should consider the type and quality of labeled objects, the characteristics of the pasted surface, the use of the environment, the requirements of the user and more;
• The surface of the PVC film must be smooth and tight, has uniform density, color consistency and good light transmission, which ensures that the film absorbs ink uniformly, then the same batch of printed labels has no color difference.
• The thickness of PVC labels should be uniform, strength indicators should be qualified.
• PVC labels should be flat and the rewinding tension should be even.
