How to Choose the Right PE Film Adhesive Label Paper for Your Products

Dec 31, 2025

History and Development

Our development of PE Film Adhesive Label Paper is closely tied to the evolving needs of modern packaging and labeling industries. In the early stages of our label material business, traditional paper-based labels dominated the market. While paper labels offered cost advantages and ease of printing, they revealed clear limitations in humid environments, outdoor applications, and scenarios requiring high durability.

As packaging formats diversified and industries such as food & beverage, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and industrial manufacturing demanded more resilient labeling solutions, we began investing in polymer-based alternatives. Polyethylene (PE) film emerged as a particularly promising substrate due to its flexibility, chemical resistance, and environmental adaptability.

Through continuous material research, adhesive optimization, and coating technology upgrades, we gradually transitioned from basic PE film labels to high-performance PE Film Adhesive Label Paper. Over the years, we refined film thickness control, surface treatment methods (such as corona and coating enhancement), and adhesive formulations to ensure stable printability and reliable bonding across a wide range of surfaces.

Our PE Film Adhesive Label Paper represents the result of long-term technical accumulation and close collaboration with downstream customers. It is designed not only to replace traditional paper labels but also to meet higher standards for durability, aesthetics, and application efficiency.

Product Introduction (Current Stage)

At its current stage, our PE Film Adhesive Label Paper is a mature and versatile labeling material engineered for demanding environments. It combines a high-quality polyethylene film face stock with a carefully selected pressure-sensitive adhesive and stable release liner, forming a balanced structure that performs consistently during printing, dispensing, and end use.

Unlike conventional paper labels, PE film labels maintain their integrity when exposed to moisture, oils, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. This makes them particularly suitable for products that undergo transportation, refrigeration, outdoor exposure, or frequent handling.

We offer this product in multiple surface finishes and adhesive options to support various printing technologies, including flexographic printing, offset printing, screen printing, and some digital printing systems. Whether used for brand labels, functional labels, or regulatory information, our PE Film Adhesive Label Paper delivers both visual appeal and long-term performance.

Key Features

Our PE Film Adhesive Label Paper is designed around real-world application requirements and offers the following core advantages:

  • Excellent Durability: The PE film face material is resistant to water, moisture, oil, and many chemicals. Labels remain intact and legible even in harsh or wet conditions.
  • High Flexibility and Conformability: The inherent flexibility of PE film allows the label to conform well to curved, squeezable, or irregular surfaces without cracking or lifting.
  • Strong and Stable Adhesion: With optimized pressure-sensitive adhesives, the labels provide reliable bonding on a wide range of substrates, including plastic, glass, metal, and coated paper surfaces.
  • Good Printability: Special surface treatment ensures strong ink anchorage and clear image reproduction, supporting high-resolution graphics, barcodes, and variable information.
  • Tear Resistance: Compared with traditional paper labels, PE film labels are difficult to tear, enhancing product security and durability during handling and transportation.
  • Environmental Adaptability: The material performs well across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for refrigerated, ambient, and certain outdoor applications.
