Specialty constructions

For the jobs standard labels can't do

Cover an old print completely, carry two labels in one, dissolve in water, hang without adhesive — the odd jobs of the label world are a specialty of ours. Describe the problem; we'll match a construction.

Specialty label constructions

The range

What's on the shelf

Cover-up

Blockout / OPAQUE

An opaque layer under the face hides old labels, wrong prices and misprints completely — no ghosting.

Two in one

Piggyback / sandwich

Two silicone layers make two labels from one — peel a part for the paperwork, leave the rest on the parcel.

Disappears

Water-soluble

A face that dissolves in water — for returnable containers and food-prep rotation labelling.

No adhesive

Cardboard tags

Non-adhesive tags, plain or reinforced (paper–film–paper), with or without punched extensions.

No adhesive

Non-adhesive films

PEHD tears clean, PVC doesn't tear, PET won't even stretch — loop tags, wristbands and inserts.

Finish

UV & thermal varnish

Gloss or matte UV varnish for protection — or the thermal variant that stays overprintable on your printer.

Automation

PET liner

A tear-proof liner for high-speed automatic application — no web breaks mid-run.

Certified special

Medical & certified jobs

Special cases like blood-bag labelling run on maker-certified materials with the documentation to match.

Sourced case by case: most specialty constructions are matched per job from our material makers' ranges — describe what the label must do and we'll come back with options and samples.

Typical applications

Where this range earns its keep

2

Two-part paperwork

Piggyback labels for shipping, returns and service — one part travels, one part stays.

3

Tags & hang labels

Cardboard tags and non-adhesive films for textiles, plants, cables and industrial parts.
