How Do Pressure Sensitive Labels Benefit the Beer Industry?

Apart from the clean and efficient application process of these labels, and the capability of being available in any shape and size, there are some more reasons why the PS labels are making their presence felt in the craft beer industry. The following are the reasons, which are actually the benefits of these labels:

  • Long-lasting Material: There are various paper-based labels, which are used in several applications. The problem with these labels is that they are unable to deliver performance in wet environments. Thus, if you are looking for a type of label, which is capable to deliver strong bonds, even in wet application environments, the pressure-sensitive labels are the right choice to make. These labels don’t lose their stickiness even after they come in contact with water. The beer bottles and cans are chilled, which is what makes them wet with condensed water droplets. The PS labels used on these cans and bottles have a strong bond with their adhered.
  • Less Set-up Time: The final, and another striking beneficial feature of these labels is that they can be printed using a digital press, which requires less set-up time. This saved time allows you to choose the minimum and maximum order quantity of your choice. Thus, you can place an order for these labels in varying quantities.
  • Better Print Quality: When it comes to labeling a product, one of the major concerns is the print quality. Bad print of a label can hamper the sale of that particular product. Thus, one needs to have high-quality labels. This is where the pressure-sensitive labels come into the picture. They have a better print quality as compared to any other type of label.
