Pressure Sensitive Labels Stock

Laser labels are produced on pressure sensitive label stock that is a standard laser stock size and is laser compatible. The stock consists of a liner and a facestock that has the labels die cut to the desired size. They can be left blank to be laser printed or they can be printed when manufactured. For more information on laser sheet labels, see Labels - Size and Label - Types.

Affixed Labels

A label can be blown on or tipped on to a laser form. The label stock and adhesive must be laser compatible. Be sure the printer that the laser forms will be printed on has the capability of running forms with affixed labels. For more information on affixed labels, see Label - Types and Integrated & Affixed - Types.

Integrated Labels

Laser forms can have an integrated label incorporated into them. An integrated label is one where the label is actually part of the original form. Adhesive is added to the back in the area where the labels is located. A liner is then added to the form on the back to cover the adhesive area. The face of the form is then slit to form the label. For more detailed information on integrated labels, see Label - Types and Integrated & Afftixed - Types.
