Pressure Sensitive Labels
What is a pressure sensitive label?
Sometimes referred to as stickers or decals, pressure sensitive labels can be made of paper, films, and foils. They come with an adhesive that only requires a light pressure to apply, or stick them to a surface. Used on a broad range of products, pressure sensitive labels can be found in nearly every industry including food, beverage, automotive, cosmetic, tobacco, healthcare, and many more.
Why are product labels so important to brand owners and Consumers?
Pressure sensitive labels are key when it comes to product marketing and packaging. Your products label is the first thing a customer sees. It highlights the logos, colors, and shapes that bring attraction to the minds of the people, which greatly improves the chances of your product being purchased. Also containing vital information such as ingredients, warnings, expiration dates, and directions for use; product labels are an essential component of any products packaging.
What factors need to be considered when ordering labels?
There are many things to consider when ordering labels that are critical to the performance of the label.
-Will the label be exposed to moisture or chemicals?
-Will it be exposure to direct sunlight?
-Will the label need to withstand outdoor conditions?
-Will it be used in a cold or hot environments such as a freezer or heat lamps? If so, will it be applied at those temps or will it be applied at normal temps?
-Is the label machine applied or hand applied? If machine applied, what copy position and core size is needed? What is the max roll OD?
-What will the label be applied to?
-Will the labels ever need to be removed?
-Does the label need to be printable with a thermal or any other type of printer?
-Do you need to be able to write on the label?
-Does the label need to be able to tear?
These questions will help us determine what materials to use for your label to ensure that it not only looks great but performs well and withstands the specific application.

Paper StockList Item 1
75% of all pressure sensitive labels are printed on some form of paper stock.
Our most popular paper stock substrate is White Semi Gloss. From simple 1 color warning labels, to fancy 8 color product labels, Semi Gloss is the most cost-effective go-to option.
-
White FilmList Item 2
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is our most commonly used film. Having a bright white base coat makes white BOPP the pick of choice for colorful designs in which print quality is a top priority. With its water-resistant plastic properties, BOPP is perfect for labels that are prone to water exposure. Even without lamination, BOPP is too durable to be easily torn. Although, BOPP is used most often, there are several other white films that depending on your labels specific needs may be a better fit. Ex: PET, HDPE, PE, PVC
-
Clear FilmList Item 3
Clear (transparent) film has many interesting and creative uses. Achieve the “no label look” on your products container without the cost of screen printing directly on the container.
Show off your product by allowing it to be seen though the clear label. Create the illusion of a custom shape die line on a rectangle label. With the use of opaque white underprint we can make certain elements and colors opaque and bold, and other elements see through. Like white film, clear BOPP is most commonly used. However, there are several other clear films we can use if the labels application or environment requires it.

Metallic Films and FoilsList Item 4
Regency’s most frequently used, and recommended material category. Create stunning work of art by adding a metallic shine to any pantone color or CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color combination. OR BOTH!
Using the same Opaque white underprint technique as mentioned above, we can print white ink under areas that shine is not wanted and leave off the white under areas that are to be metallic and shiny. We can also print dot percentages of the white underprint to control the amount of shine that the foil puts off.
The most used and stocked, metallic film here at Regency is Silver BOPP.
The most irresistible and deluxe metallic film we offer is Rainbow Holographic BOPP. Although it’s the most expensive option, its shimmering, eye catching colors are a sure way to make your product stand out on the shelf increasing the odds of being chosen by the consumer. Printing 4 color process, 2 PMS colors, and 2 spot varnish finishes on this holographic material is about the most extravagant you can get. We specialize is this combination and that’s why we refer to it as “The Regency Special”. Contact us now to get started on your own work of art!
