Pressure Sensitive Labels - What are pressure sensitive labels?

Answer:

A label construction made up of three layers; a face material, a pressure sensitive adhesive, and a backing sheet coated in a release agent. The layers are laminated together and then die cut to produce the individual labels. The final product can be in sheet, roll, or fan-fold format. Pressure sensitive labels use an adhesive that is tacky in normal conditions, meaning the labels only need the pressure of a finger or hand to be applied.
