Description
What is paper decal label printing?
Paper decal label printing is the process of printing text, images or barcodes onto a special self-adhesive paper material to create stickers. These paper labels typically consist of three layers: the face paper, adhesive and backing paper (release liner), and are widely used in product packaging, logistics and express delivery, as well as everyday office work.

Core Structure
- Facestock: The paper material used as the surface for printed images and information (e.g., coated paper, writing paper, thermal paper, etc.).
- Adhesive: The adhesive layer applied to the back of the facestock, which determines whether the label adheres permanently or can be easily removed.
- Release Liner: A protective backing coated with silicone, which supports the adhesive-coated facestock and can be peeled off before application.
Common Types of Paper Materials
- Coated Paper: Features a smooth surface and good gloss. It is the most commonly used label material, offering high color fidelity and is frequently used for product packaging labels.
- Writing Paper (Uncoated Paper): Has a surface without a thick coating, similar to ordinary printing paper. It is suitable for additional writing with ballpoint or fountain pens.
- Thermal Paper: Features a chemically coated surface that changes color when heated. No ink is required; a thermal printer directly heats the paper to print images and text onto the label. It is commonly used for supermarket weighing labels and express delivery labels.
- Thermal Transfer Paper: A specialized printing material that requires a ribbon. The printed text and images are more durable than those on direct thermal paper.
- Specialty Paper (e.g., Textured Paper and Kraft Paper): Features distinctive textures or classic colors. It is often used for premium packaging or products with a distinctive style, such as wine labels and handmade products.

Printing and Post-Press Finishing Processes
- Traditional Printing: Includes flexographic printing, offset printing, and screen printing. These methods are suitable for mass production and offer lower costs.
- Digital Printing: Requires no printing plates or molds, making it ideal for small production runs, multiple designs, and variable-data labels (such as labels with different QR codes or serial numbers).
- Surface Lamination: A glossy or matte plastic film is applied to the paper surface to provide moisture resistance, scratch resistance, and tear resistance.
- Hot Foil Stamping (Gold/Silver): A metallic foil layer is transferred onto the label surface using heat and pressure, creating a premium appearance.
- Die-Cutting: Labels are cut into circles, squares, or any custom irregular shapes according to the design requirements, making them easier to use and apply.

- Retail and Household Chemicals: Used for food packaging and personal care product bottle labels to clearly display brand information, product specifications, and traceability details.
- Healthcare: Used for medicine bottle labels, IV infusion labels, and laboratory sample barcodes to ensure compliance and safety in medical procedures and prevent errors.
