Self Adhesive Labels - What are self adhesive 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 either be in sheet, roll, or fan-fold form. Self adhesive labels use a pressure sensitive adhesive that is tacky in normal conditions, meaning the labels only need the pressure of a finger or hand to adhere to a substrate. This is why they are also known as pressure sensitive labels.
