Key facts about genuine 26x16mm Contact labels with a wavy edge

Contact labels offer excellent feeding performance in labelers and feature FSC-certified premium paper; the paper's absorbency is precisely matched to the ink in the labeler's ink rollers. This ensures sharp, smudge-free contours for printed characters and numbers.

Maximum storage life: The manufacturer specifies a shelf life of 12 months for removable labels and 48 months for all other labels. To significantly extend the shelf life of all adhesive types, we recommend repacking them into airtight PET bags and storing them at a room temperature of 18–20°C.

Facts about the adhesive types and backing for 26x16mm Contact labels

Each of the adhesive types and backing specifications described below has distinct material properties. Please note that all labels require a clean surface to ensure the desired adhesion and durability.

• Removable (Adhesive 1)

Removable labels feature a special adhesive that does not bond permanently to the packaging being labeled. Labels with adhesive type 1 (the number is printed on the back of the carrier strip for identification) are primarily used in pharmacies (where prices change frequently and relabeling is necessary) or for goods intended as gifts or delicate items. These labels can be easily peeled off the product. The manufacturer specifies a maximum shelf life of 12 months for removable labels. (Item No. A57000010)

• Permanent (Adhesive 2)

Adhesive type 2 (printed on the back of the carrier strip for identification) is classified as permanent because the strong adhesive bonds effectively with paper surfaces, making the label difficult to remove. Permanent adhesive is the standard for price labels and is used in 90% of all cases. We stock white Contact labels with adhesive type 2. The manufacturer specifies a maximum shelf life of 48 months. (Item no. A27000020)

• For deep-freeze applications (Gum 5)

Contact labels for deep-freeze applications are designed specifically for this environment. The adhesive used here withstands temperatures as low as -50°C without issue. Simply ensure the surface is clean and dry when applying the label. (Item no. A57000050) Initial tack: 12 N/25mm (FTM 9 Glass), 90° peel adhesion: 6.5 N/25mm (FTM 2 St.St.), Minimum application temperature: -20°C, Service temperature: -50°C to 70°C. The adhesive is specially formulated for use at low temperatures and in deep-freeze conditions. It offers good initial tack and final adhesion on a wide range of packaging materials—such as paper, cardboard, and film—including non-polar, curved, or irregular surfaces.

• Water-soluble (Gum 7)

The new G7 CWP (cold water peeling) pressure-sensitive adhesive offers labels that adhere well—even in cool, humid environments—yet are easily washed off. Avoid gumming up your equipment, such as Gastronorm systems. The water-soluble adhesive ensures that no label residue remains on crates, containers, boxes, or other storage systems. Water as cool as 35°C is sufficient to wash off the label without leaving any residue. (Item No. A57000070)

• Water-resistant (Adhesive 6)

Labels with water-resistant adhesive are particularly well-suited for application to damp or wet items. The adhesive layer and label paper are slightly thicker than usual (900 labels per roll for the 26x16 format). Note: This adhesive does not have ISEGA certification; please do not use these labels in direct contact with food. (Item No. A57000060)

• For textiles (Adhesive 4)

In terms of composition and characteristics, this textile adhesive is equivalent to Adhesive 2 (permanent) but is applied in a thicker layer to ensure adhesion to the porous surface structure of textiles. The manufacturer specifies a shelf life of 48 months for the 26x16mm Contact labels. (Item No. A57000040)

• High-tack (Adhesive 8)

This extra-strong adhesive is used when labels must not be removable, or are intended to be extremely difficult to remove. The shelf life is 48 months. (Item No. A57000080)

• PE adhesive / Polyethylene labels

This adhesive type is used for polyethylene labels that offer exceptional water resistance and tear strength. The back of the PE labels features a high-tack adhesive (Adhesive 8). These types of labels are popular with nurseries. When printing on these labels using a price gun, please note that the ink requires a few hours to dry completely.
