Extra permanent adhesive (Hot Melt) for labels

Adhesives for label materials differ in their characteristics and properties. Choosing the right adhesive depends on the label material, the surface the label will be applied to, the usage conditions, and other factors such as temperature, humidity, or mechanical stress.

In the printing of self-adhesive roll labels, the type of adhesive is crucial as it affects the adhesion strength, label durability, and suitability for specific applications.

Extra permanent adhesive (Hot Melt) is a very strong rubber-based permanent adhesive that provides extremely high initial tack. Due to its properties, it is suitable for demanding applications where the label must adhere firmly immediately after application.

This type of adhesive is often used on non-polar, uneven, or slightly curved surfaces, such as HDPE packaging (cleaning product packaging, certain food packaging, pipes, or other rigid plastic packaging).

Hot Melt adhesive maintains its excellent properties even in demanding conditions. It is resistant to a wide temperature range, typically from -40 °C to +150 °C, making it ideal for labeling products exposed to low temperatures or refrigeration.

For more demanding applications, you can choose labels with extra permanent (Hot Melt) adhesive, which provide very strong adhesion and are suitable for industrial, logistics, and packaging applications.

Applications of labels with strong adhesive

Labels with strong adhesion are commonly used in industry, logistics, manufacturing, and packaging, where it is important that the label remains securely attached during transport, storage, or product use.

By using high-quality self-adhesive roll labels with the appropriate adhesive, you ensure reliable product labeling and long-lasting durability.

Types of adhesives for self-adhesive labels and stickers on roll

When printing self-adhesive labels and stickers on roll, the choice of adhesive is just as important as the material itself.

✔ different surfaces (glass, plastic, paper) ✔ various conditions (moisture, cold, chemicals) ✔ permanent or removable bonding ✔ industry, food, cosmetics

Incorrect adhesive selection can lead to label peeling, poor adhesion or usability issues.
That is why choosing the right adhesive is just as important as selecting the right material.

Permanent adhesive (acrylic)

The most common choice for most roll labels and stickers.

  • ✔ water-based (eco-friendly, VOC-free)
  • ✔ good adhesion on smooth surfaces
  • ✔ suitable for food industry
  • ✔ available for paper, PP and PET materials

Works отлично on glass, plastic, paper and packaging.
Not suitable for rough surfaces.

Extra permanent (Hot Melt)

The strongest adhesive for demanding conditions and difficult surfaces.

  • ✔ extremely high initial tack
  • ✔ resistant to water, oils, light and aging
  • ✔ performs in low and high temperatures
  • ✔ very difficult to remove

Ideal for non-polar materials (PE, PP), uneven or curved surfaces.
Available with synthetic materials (PP, PE, PET) and thermal papers.

Removable adhesive

Adhesive designed for applications where easy removal is required.

  • ✔ no adhesive residue
  • ✔ no surface damage
  • ✔ suitable for temporary labeling

Use: glass, metal, paper, PET packaging.
Due to lower adhesion, we recommend testing before use.

Deep freeze adhesive

Special adhesive for frozen products and low temperatures.

  • ✔ application on already frozen products (down to -10 °C)
  • ✔ strong adhesion on PE, PP and other surfaces
  • ✔ suitable for direct food contact

Most commonly used in the food industry for frozen products.
Available with paper materials (coated and thermal papers).

How to choose the right adhesive for labels?

Choosing the right adhesive for self-adhesive labels depends on the packaging material, usage conditions and application method. The correct combination affects adhesion, durability and overall performance.

✔ plastic (PE, PP) ✔ glass or metal ✔ low temperatures ✔ permanent or removable adhesion

Most common choices:

Since adhesion can vary depending on the surface, we recommend an adhesion test or ordering a sample label print.

Frequently asked questions about label adhesives (FAQ)

Which adhesive should I choose for plastic (PE, PP packaging)?

For plastic packaging such as PE or PP materials, standard adhesives often do not provide sufficient adhesion due to the low surface energy of these substrates. Therefore, we recommend extra permanent (Hot Melt) or permanent acrylic adhesive, which ensure reliable bonding even on non-polar surfaces.

This solution is particularly suitable for products such as cleaning agents, cosmetics and food packaging, where labels must remain stable even under demanding usage conditions.

Which adhesive is suitable for glass bottles (wine, beer)?

For glass surfaces, the most commonly used solution is permanent acrylic adhesive, which enables precise application and long-term adhesion.

For products exposed to moisture or cooling (wine, beer, juices), we recommend combining it with water-resistant materials, ensuring durability even in refrigerators or ice buckets.

Which adhesive should be used for frozen products?

For frozen products, it is essential to use deep freeze adhesive, which allows application even on already cooled or frozen surfaces.

This adhesive maintains strong bonding at very low temperatures, making it ideal for the food industry, especially for frozen goods.

When should removable adhesive be used?

Removable adhesive is the right choice when labels need to be temporary and removable without leaving residue or damaging the surface. It is commonly used on glass, paper or PET packaging, where flexibility is important.

Which adhesive is the most universal?

The most versatile solution is permanent acrylic adhesive, which performs well on most materials – from paper to plastic and glass. Due to its balance between cost and performance, it is the most commonly used option for labels.

Does adhesive work at low temperatures?

Yes, but selecting the correct combination of material and adhesive is crucial. Paper-based adhesives typically perform at temperatures around 0 °C, while synthetic solutions work reliably at lower temperatures.

For freezing or extreme conditions, it is always recommended to use specialized deep freeze adhesive.

Why does the label not stick properly?

The most common reason for poor adhesion is an incorrect choice of adhesive for the surface or usage conditions. Issues can also arise from moisture, oily surfaces or applying labels at too low temperatures.

Can I test the adhesive before ordering?

We recommend a sample label print, where you can test adhesion and final appearance under real conditions.

How do I choose the right combination of material and adhesive?

The correct choice is based on the combination of material, adhesive type and usage conditions. You can explore the full offer on the roll labels page, where you can also calculate pricing instantly.
