Labeling Machinery Terms
– A bond created when two surfaces
come into contact.
– An apparatus that automatically applies labels to
products.
– The liner that acts as a carrier for pressure sensitive
labels.
– A binary coding system in optical reading that uses bars
of differing thicknesses or positions in the encoded field.
– The measure of a label’s thickness.
– Rough, finished paper that is used for wrapping.
– Paper with a coating on the surface that results
in a smooth finish. These surfaces range from eggshell to glossy.
– An adhesive that bonds to frozen or
refrigerated items, typically colder than thirty five degrees.
– A procedure that involves pressing an image down into
a paper surface. This method is different from embossing, which produces
a raised image.
– Using heat sensitive adhesives to paste.
– Square cut or die cut label that does not leave
waste or matrix between the removed labels.
– Labels on continual backing that are pressure
sensitive and have alternating folds along perforations.
– A material such as paper, foil or film that can be
made into labels.
– Labels that have perforations in the release liner so
they can be folded in accordion style for easier packaging.
– Any paper that has no wood pulp impurities.
– Imperfections on a printed sheet due to dirt or errors.
– An adhesive for labeling in environments
where the heat exposure exceeds four hundred and fifty degrees.
– A label edge not covered with adhesive for ease of removal.
The coating of the adhesive used is patterned gum.
– Term for grain direction in paper.
– A label’s ability to be
read by having its barcode scanned with a laser scanner or similar apparatus.
– An ultimate adhesion that makes the label
unable to be removed whole. These labels can be removed, but they require
much effort.
– An adhesive that is tacky and adheres
to a wide range of surfaces after applied pressure.
– The process of removing a pressure sensitive label from
the carrier or liner.
– A paper’s ability to maintain its size when subjected
to temperature, moisture and pressure changes.
– A label that will stick to a substrate through
static electricity without needing adhesive.
– A pressure sensitive label’s preliminary bonding
to a surface with the least amount of pressure and contact time. Also,
a description of the sticky feeling physical contact with adhesive creates.
– A continual roll of label stock that differs from sheets
that are run through printing presses.
