Pressure-sensitive label stock is made up of three main parts: the face stock (in our case, we supply metallized paper face stock), an adhesive layer in the middle and the liner. Only the face stock is visible on the final label; the adhesive layer is too thin to see and the liner, which simply serves as a protective layer for the adhesive, is later discarded.  

When the liner is peeled off and reveals the adhesive layer, applied pressure will stick the label to the container in question. There are various types of pressure-sensitive label – for example, some have extra-strength adhesions, and others are repositionable. Converters and brands will work together to decide on the right adhesion necessary for the end product, but pressure-sensitive labels are suitable to be used on a variety of materials and ideal for resisting high or low temperatures.
