Application to purchase brief

custom pressure sensitive labels

Translate a project application into purchase requirements for custom pressure sensitive labels. Intended fill, applicator and ship-to state change adhesive, finish and document rows. This map is a destination sketch. It is not a warehouse pin and not a claim that labeling happens in the United States.

Use cases that rewrite the RFQ

Bottle and jar labeling

Write container diameter, wrap or front-and-back layout, and whether the label must squeeze, chill or sit in condensation. PP film and PE film behave differently on curved PET or glass. Pressure sensitive adhesive that holds on a dry glass bottle may lift on a wet HDPE jug. Ask each factory to quote the same facestock, adhesive and rewind specification before comparing piece prices.

A 50 mm by 90 mm wrap on a 250 ml bottle is a common brief. It is still not interchangeable with a square jar face. Name whether facestock is about 1.5–3 mil paper or a 2 mil PP film, and say if labels are applied by hand so the factory does not assume a high-speed rewind.

Food packaging labels

Oil, freeze and moisture change adhesive choice. Migration testing files, if the buyer needs them, must name the facestock, adhesive and ink system for that lot. Post-consumer recycled content in a paper face, if requested, is a fiber percentage on the supplier file, not a site-wide recycled badge.

Nutrition panels and lot codes belong on the artwork list. They do not replace a construction sheet. If the pack later moves to a different resin bottle, the adhesive line should be reopened rather than copied from the previous SKU photo.

Warehouse identification

Corrugated cartons, totes and racks need a different pressure sensitive adhesive than a chilled bottle. Thermal-transfer overprint, if used, is a ribbon and ribbon-compatible topcoat question. Do not copy edge crush test language from a corrugated shipper onto a label RFQ. The label does not carry the box rating.

Destination and documents

State or postal code, requested delivery date and whether the buyer or the factory books ocean or inland freight all change the total. Pallet pattern, carton count and rewind specification belong on the same sheet as piece price. Food-contact and ink statements travel with the lot; they do not transfer because a previous SKU used the same label photo.

How often a field appears on a usable brief

These bars are qualitative check weights for buyers, not performance scores for this site and not savings claims.

Facestock + pressure sensitive adhesive
Almost always required before a factory can price converting
Print process and die line
Required whenever printed labels are written on the request
Destination and rewind specification
Required before freight and applicator fit can sit next to piece price
Migration testing file
Only when the contents and buyer policy ask for it

Film wrap versus paper face

PP or PE film can survive squeeze and wash-down better than many paper faces. Paper can accept certain finishes and recycled-fiber notes more easily. This site does not recommend film or paper as universally better. The brief should say why a facestock is requested and which file the inbound team will review.

Digital print versus flexographic printing

High SKU counts and frequent artwork changes can reduce plate cost with digital print. Stable long runs often keep unit cost and spot color control better in flexographic printing. Ask each factory to quote the same color count and proof path so the plate row is visible. Continue on inquiry options or send the application brief.
