This is what the label and adhesive sit on. Label Liner: The bottom layer of the label construction which is discarded after use. Matte can be written on, shiny is a high gloss coatingĪnd textured is used to add texture feel to labels. Lamination: Clear plastic coating that provides extra durability.

Freezer grade adhesives are used on case-ready meats and on goods that have to withstand the cold and moist conditions of freezers.īack-Score: A slit in the liner of a pressure sensitive label, used to assist in the removal of the face-stock from the liner.īar Code (UPC): One of several machine-readable codes used at retail, manufacturing, and shipping levels to identify products. Freezer adhesive is designed for application and performance below 32☏. This is ideal for labels that are only used temporarily or will need to be removed later.
