What are the main types of substrates for copperplate adhesive labels?

The main types of substrates for copperplate adhesive labels are as follows:

1、 Paper substrate

Copperplate paper: This is the most commonly used substrate, with the characteristics of semi high gloss white coated paper, high smoothness, and good glossiness. It is suitable for semi high gloss color label printing in promotions and industries, such as cosmetics labels, drug labels, food labels, etc. Copperplate paper adhesive labels are generally used as materials for barcode printers, with a thickness of about 80g, and can be applied to most substrates including cardboard, plastic film, and HDPE.

Offset paper and glass cardboard: These two types of paper are also commonly used in the production of adhesive labels, with different textures and printing effects.

2、 Thin film substrate

Although copperplate adhesive labels are mainly made of paper substrates, film substrates are also widely used in the field of adhesive labels, mainly including:

Polyester (PET): It has various colors such as transparent, bright gold, bright silver, sub gold, sub silver, milky white, and sub light milky white. It has good resistance to water, oil, and chemicals, and is suitable for information labels of bathroom products, cosmetics, electrical appliances, mechanical products, especially high-temperature resistant products.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): The fabric has transparent, glossy milky white, matte milky white, and other properties, as well as resistance to water, oil, and chemicals. It is suitable for bathroom products, cosmetics, electrical products, and especially for information labels of high-temperature resistant products.

Polypropylene (PP): It has the characteristics of transparency, bright milky white, and matte milky white, as well as good resistance to water, oil, and chemicals. It is suitable for bathroom products and cosmetics, and is suitable for information labels printed by heat transfer printing.

In addition, there are other film substrates such as polycarbonate (PC) and synthetic paper, which have different characteristics and application scenarios and can be selected according to specific needs.

In summary, there are various types of substrates for copperplate adhesive labels, including paper substrates and film substrates. When choosing, comprehensive consideration should be given to factors such as the specific purpose, usage environment, and cost of the label.
