Useful information on available adhesive strengths for "best-before" date labels

Maximum storage time: 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.

• Permanent (Adhesive 2)

Adhesive type 2 (printed on the back of the backing paper for easy identification) is classified as permanent; the strong adhesive bonds effectively with paper surfaces, making the label difficult to remove. Permanent adhesive is the standard for price labels, accounting for 90% of all applications. We stock white Contact labels with adhesive type 2. The manufacturer specifies a maximum shelf life of 48 months. (Item No. A57100020-04)

• For Deep-Freeze Applications (Adhesive 5)

Contact labels for deep-freeze applications are designed specifically for this environment. The adhesive used withstands temperatures as low as -50°C without issue. Simply ensure the surface is clean and dry when applying the label. (Item No. A57100050-04) Initial tack: 12 N/25mm (FTM 9 Glass); 90° adhesion: 6.5 N/25mm (FTM 2 St.St.); minimum application temperature: -20°C; service temperature range: -50°C to 70°C. The adhesive is specially formulated for low-temperature and 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.
