In the context of adhesive label printing, Pantone is a standardized color matching system that is widely used in the printing industry to ensure accurate and consistent color reproduction. Pantone colors are identified by a unique number, and each color is specified by a set of color swatches and formulas that define the exact mix of ink or toner needed to reproduce the color accurately.

The Pantone Matching System (PMS) includes a wide range of standardized colors that are used in various applications, including printing, graphics design, and product manufacturing. The Pantone colors are commonly used in the production of adhesive labels to ensure that the printed colors match the desired specifications accurately.

Using the Pantone system, designers and printers can specify the desired color for a label using a Pantone color number, which ensures that the color is reproduced consistently across multiple print runs and printing technologies. This is especially important for branding and product labeling, where accurate and consistent color reproduction is essential for maintaining a consistent and recognizable brand image.

Overall, the Pantone system is an important tool in adhesive label printing, as it enables accurate and consistent color reproduction, which is essential for creating high-quality and professional-looking labels.

Perforation refers to the protrusion of each label that enables the liner to be easily ripped apart. It is used for hand application while non-perforation is for machine application

Permanent adhesive refers to a type of adhesive that forms a strong, lasting bond between the label and the surface it is applied to, making it difficult or impossible to remove without damaging the label or the surface.

This type of adhesive is commonly used for applications where a label needs to remain securely in place for an extended period of time, such as in product labeling, asset tracking, or industrial identification.

Permanent adhesives are designed to provide high levels of adhesion and durability, even in harsh environments and challenging conditions. They typically have a higher level of tack than removable or repositionable adhesives, which helps to ensure a strong, lasting bond between the label and the surface.

There are different types of permanent adhesives, including those that are water-based, solvent-based, or made from synthetic rubber. The choice of adhesive will depend on the specific application and the type of surface that the label will be applied to. It is important to choose the right type of permanent adhesive to ensure that the label will remain securely in place for its intended lifespan without damaging the surface or losing adhesion.

Piggyback labels, also known as peelback, are essentially two labels stacked on top of each other. It consists of five layers: the facestock, adhesive, release liner, another adhesive, and backing sheet

Pigments are fine particles that when dissolved in water, gives color or opacity

Polyester is a transparent film that has excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and other chemicals

Polyethylene is a tough, elastic film that is suitable for low-temperature conditions but has good moisture resistance

Polypropylene is almost similar to polyethylene but more durable and has higher temperature resistance

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC, Vinyl) is a versatile plastic that is durable and highly flexible. Its excellent resistance to various chemicals and solvents makes it ideal for industrial and outdoor applications
