Peelable label paper

What is a peelable label paper?

Peelable label paper is a special kind of paper to which a water-soluble coating has been applied.

This type of paper is used to manufacture so-called removable labels.

What is peelable label paper used for?

Label manufacturers use peelable label paper to produce removable labels. Removable labels are a special type of label which can be removed from the surface they were applied to without damaging it or leaving adhesive residues.

Removing a traditional label from the surface it was applied to has several disadvantages, one of them being the possibility of leaving adhesive residues behind. In the worst case scenario, peeling a traditional label may result in peeling only a part of the label paper, leaving the rest of it attached to the surface. Moreover, if the surface over which the label was applied is sensitive, there is a risk that the removal operation ends up damaging it. Peelable label paper solves these problems by allowing the removal of the label without causing damage or leaving residues behind.

What advantages does peelable label paper have?

Compared to the paper used to manufacture traditional labels, peelable label paper offers multiple advantages, including the following:

  • Peelable label paper makes it possible to easily remove the label from the surface it was applied to. This is especially important in cases where the label that was originally applied is no longer valid (e.g. because the price of the product over which the label was applied has changed) or when it was applied by mistake.
  • Peelable label paper allows the removal of labels without leaving residues behind or damaging the surface they were applied to. In order for this to be possible, both the peelable label paper and the removable adhesive that covers it must possess very specific properties.
  • Peelable label paper can often be reused, although this strongly depends on the quality of the paper and removable adhesive.

Other uses of peelable paper

Peelable paper has many more applications than just labeling.

One of its most well known applications is decoration. More specifically, peelable paper is used to manufacture decorative paper for indoors.
