The wide range of self-adhesive materials and glues allows us to offer a variety of solutions for different shapes and types of packaging: glass, hard and soft plastics, paper and cardboard, flexible materials, and metal. Products in this area are often used over a long period of time in damp, wet and greasy environments, as well as they may contain chemical substances. A variety of solutions are available – flexible materials, materials that provide re-opening and closing function (wet wipes), materials with gentle touch effect, very thin materials with an invisible label effect will give the packaging a sense of lightness.

Extremely durable labels. JSC “Liepajas Papirs” produces labels for industrial goods of various shapes, sizes and colours in the fields of chemistry and industry. In the industry sector, the practical function of product packaging is important. The label can be durable and lasting or, on the contrary – easy to remove. Labels of chemical and industrial goods must withstand the effects of the surrounding environment, while maintaining durability, clear image and retaining also the decorative appearance. Often important product information is displayed on the label. The packaging and labelling of the goods must conform to the requirements of the surrounding conditions. Industrial labels are exposed to harsh environmental conditions and demanding requirements. Products are labelled outdoors, the effects of sunlight and oxidation must be considered, as well as the fact that active chemical substances are stored in the packaging.

Make efficient use of the available surface. Wrap-around labels allow you to cover the entire circumference of the bottle. The wrap-around label is printed on non-self-adhesive thin film and then divided into rolls in accordance with the specification preferred by the customer. The main consumer of wrap-around labels is the market of soft drinks, as these wrap-around labels allow you to cover the entire circumference of the bottle and make efficient use of the available surface, including all the information the customer has to provide. The customer must have a special adhesive applicator for wrap-around labels, which applies the adhesive to the packaging unit in the required place during the process of applying the labels.

Sleeve labels offer the ability to use the entire surface of the packaging unit most effectively. Shrink sleeve labels are usually printed on thin PVC or PET films, and then fixed to the packaging unit using a heat tunnel. Sleeve labels can be applied to a wide variety of container shapes, as affected by the heat the film acquires the shape of the packaging unit within the shrinking process. Sleeve labels offer the ability to use the entire surface of the packaging unit most effectively, increasing the amount of visual information and elements that can be provided on the label. Sleeve labels provide excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. No adhesive is involved in the label application process, making the packaging units reusable.

Opens like a book. Place more information on the product packaging than the size of the packaging unit allows. Two-layer labels are a great solution, if you have to place more information on the product packaging than the size of the packaging unit allows. This is a demanded solution in the pharmaceutical field, as more information can be provided on a small surface of the packaging. Labels of this kind are a good way of presenting information on the packaging in several languages.

Use both sides of the label. The label is printed on both sides, including the adhesive layer. Double-sided labels are used, if you want to address the consumer with both sides of the label by sticking the label on a transparent surface. The label is printed on both sides, including on the adhesive layer. This type of labels is popular on beverage bottles, as the transparent packaging of the product allows the label to be viewed from both sides. This is also a very effective way of printing stickers to be affixed to vehicle windows, glass doors, etc.

Add extra brilliance and luxury. These labels act also as a guarantee against counterfeiting. Holographic stickers can be made using holographic self-adhesive material, printing it with the customer’s design, or using hot or cold foil stamping and applying holographic foil, where required over the printed design. Not only do these stickers add extra brilliance and luxury, but they also act as a guarantee against counterfeiting.
