What is A “Multi Layers Label”?

A multi-layer label consists of several layers. Each layer is stacked on top of each other, so basically, it’s a label on a label. Its material is usually semi-glazed paper, art paper, PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and so on. These materials are often used to print and process multilayer labels because they have good printing adaptability and certain mechanical strength. There are also some metals: such as aluminum foil labels, which are used for occasions that require high moisture, oil and chemical resistance.

The liner label is the bottom layer of the multilayer label. It is permanently applied to products or packaging. All of the top layers can be peeled off again or covered with the top layer after the bottom layer is signed to protect the signature layer. This also creates up to three printable surfaces on which you can place a variety of information for your customers. From your signature to your warning words, all possibilities are open to you.

Multi-layer labels include folding labels and multi-layer signature labels, which are suitable for various scenarios in daily life.

BX Panel Multi Layers Label Technical Information

1. Material preparation

Selection of materials: multi layers label usually uses thin film self-adhesive material, which is composed of a backing paper, a face paper and an adhesive used as a bond between the two. The bottom paper is dense, uniform, has good internal strength and light transmission, and is a common material for making multi-layer labels.

Material inspection: Before printing, it is necessary to strictly check the material to ensure that the quality of the material meets the printing requirements and avoid problems in the printing process.

2. Printing processing

Uncover the film self-adhesive material: First, uncover the film self-adhesive material and prepare for printing.

Adhesive surface printing: The use of adhesive surface printing mechanism for local printing on the adhesive surface, the purpose is to cover the adhesive locally, and facilitate the use of consumers to uncover the first layer of multi-layer labels. This step is the key to ensure that the multi-layer label can be removed smoothly.

Composite and reprinting: After the base paper is re-combined with the surface material, the surface material is printed. Depending on the design requirements, print on the first or second (or even more) layer of multi layers label surface. In some cases, a matte oil (or other similar substance) is also applied to the second layer surface after printing to enhance the visual effect and peel performance of the label.

3. Compound and die cutting

Scuttling: The printed multi layers label is scuttled at the scuttling station, and the label is cut into multiple parts according to the predetermined size and shape. This step is to separate the multiple layers of labels into individual usable units.

Compound: After cutting the multi layers label into the compound station. Here, the first layer of multi layers label partially strips the base paper (the base paper is collected by the rewinding mechanism), and rotates 360° under the action of the mechanism to partially compound the second layer of label. In the composite process, it is necessary to ensure that the registration of the two layers of labels is accurate, that is, the graphic part of the two layers of labels should be aligned.

Die cutting and waste removal: The composite multi layers label enters the die cutting station for die cutting and waste removal. Die cutting is the process of cutting the multi layers label into its final shape, while waste removal is the removal of excess scraps and scrap.

4. Back adhesive

According to the use of the product environment and requirements, choose the appropriate type of back adhesive,  such as waterproof, temperature resistance, super bonding, etc. We offer 3M, Crown, Soken, Nitto, Sony,  Luxking and other adhesive brands.
