Adhesive Labels Application

2026/04/19 79

Barcode Labels: Common types include pharmaceutical labels, food labels, wine labels, battery labels, outer carton labels, shampoo labels, barcode labels, and temporary labels for semi-finished products, etc.

Film Labels: mainly used for decorative decals on cars and motorcycles, signage on shop windows, reflective film on highways, and markings on containers.

Paper Labels: Classified by application into basic labels and variable information labels. Variable information labels include batch numbers, serial numbers, barcodes, production dates, expiration dates, prices, information processing during mailing, distribution, warehouse management, and inventory data.

Application Industries:

1.Daily Chemical Industry
Self-adhesive labels are now widely used in the daily chemical industry. It is understood that currently, over 30% of domestic daily chemical products use self-adhesive labels. Statistics show that the domestic market for self-adhesive labels continues to experience rapid growth in the daily chemical industry and is being used more extensively. Label materials are also developing towards higher levels and greater diversification.

2.Pharmaceutical Industry
With the promulgation of GMP certification standards by the state, the pharmaceutical industry has placed higher demands on the standardization of drug packaging, requiring further improvements in both hygiene and aesthetics. Self-adhesive labels, provided the adhesive materials meet hygiene standards, can effectively meet the needs of pharmaceutical packaging. On the one hand, the pharmaceutical industry has high production requirements and fast assembly line operations, necessitating automated labeling for many medicine bottles. On the other hand, self-adhesive materials are suitable for various printing methods, offering clear graphics and text, and a neat, strong adhesion, enabling self-adhesive labels to meet market demands for pharmaceutical packaging. During the booming development of OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, consumers’ requirements for drug packaging are undoubtedly increasing; they expect labels to be more than just instructions, but also brand symbols. Simultaneously, pharmaceutical products place great emphasis on anti-counterfeiting measures, and self-adhesive labels offer a variety of materials to choose from, such as fragile paper and anti-counterfeiting lettering labels.

3.Electronics Industry
Electronic devices are now ubiquitous in people’s lives, and the further popularization of home appliances and communication tools has led to an unprecedented scale of development in the electronics industry.

Self-adhesive label printing machines are very popular in this field, not only because they are affixable, printable, and customizable, but more importantly, because electronic products require labels to achieve specific effects. For example, labels need to be sturdy enough to fit well with electrical appliances, or they need to be resistant to environmental corrosion and high temperatures. Often, different types of label materials are needed in different parts of an electronic product. The huge growth of the electronics industry, especially in South and East China, where exports account for a large proportion, is a major driver of self-adhesive label material consumption.
