How to Prevent Label Curling on Small-Diameter Tubes

Many customers struggle with labeling on small-diameter tubes — one of the most common issues being label edge lifting or curling. Based on our experience in label manufacturing, here are a few practical tips to help you reduce or avoid this problem:

1. Choose a solvent-based adhesive when possible.
Solvent adhesives tend to offer better stability and stronger cohesion. While hot melt adhesives have high initial tack, they often have lower cohesion and may lead to adhesive stringing and curling issues over time.

2. Option for thinner face stock materials.
Materials like 60gsm semi-gloss paper, PE, and 54U synthetic paper are commonly used and better suited for curved surfaces due to their flexibility and thinness.

3. Be cautious with lamination if using paper face stock.
Avoid film lamination on paper labels for small-diameter applications. The added tension from the film can cause curling. Also, when designing labels, try not to fully connect the start and end of the label — leaving a small gap can help release stress and reduce curling.

4. Always test before full production.
Even with the right materials, testing is essential. Different substrates, tube diameters, and application conditions can all affect the final label performance.

What Are Multi-layer Labels and Why You Should Consider Them

As product packaging evolves, space on labels is becoming more valuable than ever—especially for products that require detailed information, multiple languages, or promotional content. That’s where multi-layer labels, also known as peel-off labels or extended content labels, come into play.

 

What Is a Multi-layer Label?

A multi-layer label is made of two or three layers of material that are laminated together but designed to be easily peeled apart and resealed. These labels allow brands to fit much more information within the same label area—without compromising the visual design of the front label.

These labels are commonly used in industries such as:

  • Food & Beverage (for nutritional facts, recipes, promotions)

  • Cosmetics (for ingredients, multilingual usage instructions)

  • Pharmaceuticals/Health Product (for dosage, warnings, legal disclaimers)

  • Chemicals (for handling instructions, certifications)

Benefits of Multi-layer Labels

1. Space-saving Design

You can provide necessary product details, regulations, or multilingual text without increasing your label size.

2. Durability and Reusability

Our multi-layer labels use high-quality adhesives that allow the top layer to be opened and resealed multiple times without tearing or curling.

3. Customizable for Your Brand

Choose from clear or white film, various finishes like gloss, matte, or even foil-stamped layers to match your branding needs.

4. Cost-efficient for Export Products

For companies exporting to multiple countries, multi-layer labels are a practical solution to include various languages and compliance details—all on one label.

Printing Technology and Material Options

We produce multi-layer labels using advanced flexographic and offset printing, with optional spot UV, cold foil, and lamination finishes. Common materials include:

  • Synthetic paper for chemical resistance

  • Removable or permanent adhesive, based on your application needs

Labels can be customized for automatic labeling machines, with roll direction, gap, and core size tailored to your production line.

Is a Multi-layer Label Right for You?

If you:

  • Need to fit a lot of information in a small space

  • Sell in multilingual markets

  • Run promotional campaigns with hidden codes or QR scans

  • Want to comply with strict industry regulations

Then a multi-layer label might be the perfect fit.

Why Do Pressure-Sensitive Labels Keep Falling Off?

Common Labeling Issues and Solutions

In product packaging, labels may seem like a small detail, but they play a vital role in brand messaging, product identification, and user experience. However, many brands encounter a frustrating issue during application or distribution — labels peeling off, bubbling, or smudging.

 

Why does this happen?

This article breaks down the common causes of label failure and provides practical solutions to help you choose the right materials and adhesives for your application.

 

Common Issues You Might Have Experienced:

  • ⊗ Labels start peeling shortly after application

  • ⊗ Bubbling or wrinkling after refrigeration or condensation

  • ⊗ Labels smudge or scratch easily when touched

  • ⊗ Labels shift or detach during shipping, even if they looked fine at first

Though these problems appear different, they often point to the same root causes: incompatible materials or inadequate adhesive performance.

 

Top 5 Causes of Label Adhesion Failure

1. Material-Surface Incompatibility

Certain packaging materials (like rough surfaces, PP plastics, or oily glass) have low surface energy, which makes it hard for standard adhesives to bond properly.

2. Incorrect Adhesive Selection

Not all labels can use general-purpose adhesive. For example, refrigerated or frozen products require freezer-grade adhesives, while oily containers need extra-strength bonding.

3. Environmental Factors Ignored

Temperature changes, humidity, or product handling during transport can impact label performance if not accounted for during material selection.

4. Contaminated Surface

Dirt, oil, moisture, or powder on the container before labeling can significantly reduce adhesive strength.

5. Improper Finishing or Lamination

Materials like coated paper may bubble if not laminated, while untreated PP film can crack or peel under bending stress or moisture exposure.

 

Solutions Based on Different Applications

 
Application Recommended Material Recommended Adhesive Notes
Frozen Foods Synthetic paper / PP Freezer-grade strong adhesive Performs below -20°C
Cold Beverages PP + Lamination Cold-resistant / strong general Must resist condensation and moisture
Oily Containers PET / Synthetic Paper Extra-strength adhesive Clean surface before labeling
Cosmetics (Smooth Surfaces) Coated Paper + Lamination Medium-strong adhesive Aesthetic finish matters
Outdoor Use PET / PVC UV-resistant waterproof adhesive Requires sun and water resistance

 

A beverage brand experienced bubbling on their labels during seasonal changes. After reviewing their packaging setup, we discovered they were still using standard adhesive, even though their product had moved to cold chain storage. We upgraded their label to PP film + freezer adhesive + lamination, and the issue was fully resolved, with significantly improved adhesion performance.

 

Pro Tips Before Choosing Your Label

  • Will the product be refrigerated or frozen?

  • Is the container surface smooth, oily, or textured?

  • Will the label face water, sunlight, or abrasion?

  • What core size and layout does your labeling machine support?

What is a Wash-Off Label and Why Is It a Smart Choice for Sustainable Packaging?

In today’s world, where sustainability and recycling are more important than ever, wash-off labels are becoming a popular choice for brands looking to reduce environmental impact—without compromising on visual appeal.

What is a Wash-Off Label?

A wash-off label is a type of self-adhesive label designed to be easily removed from containers during the washing process—typically during recycling. Unlike traditional labels that leave adhesive residue or are difficult to peel off, wash-off labels use specially formulated adhesives that release cleanly when exposed to hot or cold water, depending on the application.

How Does It Work?

The key to wash-off labels lies in their adhesive technology. These labels stay firmly attached during transportation, storage, and use. However, when placed in a water bath—commonly at 60–80°C in industrial washing lines—the adhesive deactivates, allowing the label to separate cleanly from the container. This makes it easier to recycle the bottle or jar without additional cleaning or sorting steps.

  • No Residue: Leaves no glue or paper behind, reducing contamination in the recycling stream.

  • High Durability: Performs well under condensation, refrigeration, and light abrasion.

  • Versatility: Suitable for both clear and colored containers, including glass and plastic.

  • Customizable: Can be printed in full color, with options for matte, gloss, or textured finishes.

Typical Applications

Wash-off labels are widely used in industries where sustainability is a focus:

  • Mineral Water Bottles (PET or glass)

  • Juice & Beverage Products

  • Beer Bottles with Return Systems

  • Reusable Personal Care Containers

  • Dairy and Yogurt Packaging

Why Choose Wash-Off Labels?

As consumer awareness of sustainable packaging grows, brands are under pressure to offer eco-friendly solutions that align with recycling standards and reduce waste. Wash-off labels allow you to meet these expectations—while maintaining product shelf appeal and regulatory compliance.
