When to Use Non-Adhesive Labels Instead of Adhesive Labels
In industrial label production, non-adhesive labels are often an underestimated technical factor—until issues arise on the production line or out in the market. Yet it is precisely these details that determine whether labels hold up in real-world environments, whether they are compatible with automatic labeling machines, and whether they protect product information throughout the entire lifecycle.
Hirich approaches adhesive-free labels from real-world experience with hundreds of businesses across cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and logistics. We don’t just advise on materials—we analyze the entire label journey: from raw material storage, through the printing press and die-cutting machines, to the application lines, and finally the consumer’s usage environment.
Combine with hanging strings, sleeves, inserts, and premium packaging.
Every business faces its own unique challenge: some need labels that can withstand bottle washing cycles in the beverage industry, others need labels that won’t peel off in -25°C freezers, and still others need solvent-resistant labels for the chemical sector. There is no one-size-fits-all label solution. Hirich works directly with each customer’s technical team to identify exact requirements and recommend the most optimal label structure.
How to Handle Bubbling Defects on Labels
One of the most common and severe technical defects affecting labels is bubbling—the formation of air pockets or peeling beneath the label surface after application, particularly on products stored under refrigeration, frozen conditions, or in high-humidity environments. This is not merely an aesthetic issue; it also compromises barcode scannability, information durability, and consumer trust.
Hirich tackles bubbling from three angles: selecting the right adhesive for the surface and usage environment, optimizing application pressure and temperature during label application, and verifying adhesion on real samples in Hirich’s Sample Approval Process before mass production. As a result, businesses never have to face complaints from customers or distribution partners about labels peeling off once products hit the shelves.
Comprehensive solutions from Hirich
Hirich is committed to being with you every step of the way: from initial technical consultation, sample approval on real materials, production with rigorous QC, to post-delivery support. We understand that a faulty label roll isn’t just wasted material—it can bring your entire packaging line to a halt. That’s why every batch of labels leaving the Hirich facility has been thoroughly inspected to ensure smooth, stable operation from the very first run.
