How to Use Woodfree Adhesive Paper – Step-by-Step Guide

# Step Guidance
1 Prepare the surface Clean and dry the application surface. Remove grease, dust, or moisture. For curved surfaces, allow a 2–3 mm edge overlap.
2 Configure your printer Select "Plain paper" or "Label" media type. For laser printers, set weight ≥ 80 gsm. For inkjet, choose "Normal quality" to avoid over-saturation.
3 Print & allow to set After laser printing, allow 10–15 seconds for toner to cool before handling. For inkjet, allow 30 seconds drying time.
4 Peel the liner cleanly Hold the label face-up and peel the glassine liner back at a 45° angle in one smooth motion to avoid stress on the adhesive.
5 Apply and smooth Place one edge first, then press firmly from centre outward to eliminate air bubbles. Apply 5–10 N/cm² pressure for full adhesion.
6 Store unused stock Keep rolls and sheets in original packaging, flat or upright, at 10–25 °C and 40–65% RH. Avoid direct sunlight and strong odours.

 

Frequently Asked Questions – Woodfree Adhesive Paper

What is woodfree adhesive paper?
Woodfree adhesive paper is a self-adhesive label material whose face sheet is made from chemical wood pulp only, with no mechanical (groundwood) pulp. This gives it a smoother surface, higher brightness, and greater resistance to yellowing compared to standard paper. The adhesive backing allows direct application to most surfaces without additional glue. Guanhao's range covers permanent, removable, and repositionable grades.
What is the difference between woodfree and coated (copperplate) adhesive paper?
Woodfree adhesive paper has a matte, uncoated surface that is excellent for laser, inkjet, and thermal-transfer printing and gives a natural, non-reflective look. Copperplate (coated) adhesive paper has a clay-coated gloss surface ideal for high-resolution colour offset printing and vibrant brand labels. Choose woodfree for utility labels and text-heavy prints; choose copperplate for premium consumer packaging.
Can woodfree adhesive paper be used with thermal printers?
Standard woodfree adhesive paper is compatible with thermal-transfer (ribbon) printing, which is widely used for barcodes and logistics labels. It is not compatible with direct-thermal printing, which requires a heat-sensitive coating. For direct-thermal applications, consider our thermal adhesive paper range instead.
What adhesive options are available?
We offer acrylic permanent adhesive (high tack, suitable for most surfaces), removable adhesive (clean peel with no residue, ideal for price tags and temporary labels), and high-tack variants for low-energy surfaces such as HDPE plastic and powder-coated metal. Freezer-grade adhesive for cold-chain labels is also available on request.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom woodfree adhesive paper?
Our standard MOQ for custom roll orders is 500 kg per SKU, and 3,000 sheets for A4-format sheet orders. Smaller trial orders may be accommodated; please contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements.
Is Guanhao's woodfree adhesive paper environmentally certified?
Our woodfree base paper is manufactured without optical brightening agents harmful to the environment, and is acid-free. Guanhao holds ISO 9001 quality certification and we can supply FSC-certified materials on request. We are committed to reducing the environmental footprint of our label products; read more on our About Us page.
