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