Images on the Internet tend to have low image resolution so it’s essential that you use high-resolution images of at least 300 DPI (dots per inch) so the labels don’t look blurry when they’re printed. ‘Image resolution’ refers to how many ‘pixels’ make up an image will fit inside each inch of the printed photo area. More pixels per inch makes the image appear smaller on paper, while fewer pixels makes the image appear larger on paper. However, more pixels per inch means more detail is shown in your image. Image resolution is really only important when it comes to printing. In fact, most images you find on the internet are only 72 DPI which is enough detail to render a decent image on the screen but not nearly enough detail to print a quality image at full size. If you try to print a 72 dpi image at a larger size, the printed image will look blurry and won’t be usable.

Flexographic printing is a popular method for printing large orders of custom labels at rapid speeds by transferring ink onto the paper or film material using flexible printing plates mounted on fast-rotating cylinders. Flexographic printing plates allow customization options that aren’t possible with some other types of presses. A variety of products can be printed on flexographic presses like pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeve labels, flexible packets, multi-ply labels, double-sided printed labels, and more.

Materials

Pressure sensitive adhesives (aka ‘self-stick’ adhesives that don’t require solvents or heat to activate the adhesive) shouldn’t be used in the oven or microwave for a couple of reasons. When heated at high temperatures, the adhesive can melt and give off an odor. Adhesives have what’s known as a ‘service temperature range’ which refers to the temperature range the adhesive can function after the label has been applied and built up to its ultimate adhesion. Most pressure sensitive adhesives have a range of -65 °F to 200 °F with a paper label stock or up to 300 °F with a film label stock.

Temperature is an important consideration with labels because extreme heat or cold affect label quality. For more information, please check out our pressure sensitive adhesive guide.

当被问及标签的保质期时，区分这两个概念至关重要——保质期和使用寿命。保质期是指 标签材料 在不失效的情况下可以储存的时间，而使用寿命是指标签在正常使用条件下，能够牢固地固定在表面上的最短时间。使用超过保质期的材料可能会影响打印质量、 粘合性能和整体耐用性——一家可靠的标签公司会监控材料的库存时间，以防止标签质量受到影响。
