Adhesive Labels on Sheets

Labels on Sheets: What Are They?

Sheet labels are an excellent alternative to labels on rolls, especially for short runs. Sheet labels are especially suitable for manual application: just peel them off the backing and apply them directly to the product! However, they are not suitable for automated processing.

Materials and Finishes

Sheet labels are available in a variety of materials, including white paper, uncoated paper, white polypropylene film, and clear film. For advanced finishes, such as lamination or embossing, we suggest you opt for roll labels.

A4 or A4+: What Is the Difference?

Until now, etichetta.it has offered labels on A4 size sheets. To optimize production and reduce waste, we have introduced the slightly larger A4+ format. This new format allows us to reduce waste, making our production process more sustainable. Sheet size varies depending on the details of the order, but we always guarantee the highest print quality and perfect adhesion.

5 Steps to Perfect Labels

If you are developing a product and designing packaging, choosing the right label is critical. Here are the 5 essential steps:

1. Shape and size – Choose the best shape and size for the label based on your packaging. Consider whether a rectangular, round or custom-shape label is the best choice to enhance the product. The size should be proportionate to the available surface area and ensure perfect readability.
2. Material – At etichetta.it you will find a wide selection of papers and films, suitable for every need. If the product will be exposed to moisture or low temperatures, opt for water-resistant and cold-resistant materials. For a premium touch, you can choose natural papers with exclusive finishes.
3. Design and branding – Labels should reflect your brand identity. A consistent design, with colors, fonts and images in line with the brand, not only enhances the appearance of the product, but also strengthens its recognition in the marketplace.
4. Preliminary Testing – Prior to final production, request a free sample book or print proof. This will allow you to check color rendition, material quality and adherence to packaging, avoiding errors and ensuring a perfect result.
5. Legal requirements – Make sure labels comply with all industry regulations. Carefully check mandatory information such as ingredients, expiration date, bar codes, and recycling symbols. Regulatory compliance is critical to ensure consumer safety and avoid penalties.

Types of Labels

Labels on sheets fit a variety of needs:

• Front label, with logo and product name.
• Back label, with information on ingredients and technical details.
• Banderole, ideal for wrapping packaging.

The choice depends on the industry, the type of product, and the desired effect. For example, for foods such as honey or jam, tamper-proof labels are often used, while for champagne and wines, bottle neck tapes are common.

Custom Sheet Labels

Your adhesive sheet labels can be made freely, with no limits on shape, size or graphics. Unfortunately, you cannot apply additional finishes, such as hot foil or embossing. You will have a choice of different materials such as 80g white coated paper, 80g white virgin paper, 80g metallic silver paper, 60µ gloss white polypropylene, and 60µ clear polypropylene. We can also deliver blank labels, simply die-cut and without printing.

Creating Print Files

To make it easier for you to prepare your files, we provide detailed tutorials and an artwork service to ensure perfect printing.

Manual Application

Sheet labels are applied manually, allowing precise application and enhancing handcrafted, high-quality products. This method is ideal for small production runs, exclusive or customized items, where every detail counts. Manual application allows greater control over label position and avoids waste.
