What Is Pressure-Sensitive Label?
Understanding Pressure-Sensitive Label
A pressure-sensitive label is built in layers: the facestock that carries the print, an adhesive on its back, and a release liner that protects the adhesive until use. At the line the liner peels away and the label is pressed onto the product, where the adhesive grips on contact.
This simplicity is why the format dominates. It runs on wipe-on, tamp, and print-and-apply machines, takes almost any facestock and adhesive combination, and applies cleanly at speed. For security work it is convenient too, because a unique code, a tamper-evident cut, or a holographic layer can all be built into the same self-adhesive label.
Key Components of Pressure-Sensitive Label
Why Pressure-Sensitive Label Matters
Pressure-sensitive labels make it easy to add identity and security to a product without changing the pack or the line much. Because the format is so flexible, a brand can carry a unique code, tamper evidence, and a holographic feature on one simple self-adhesive label.
- Sticks with light pressure, no heat or water
- Runs on standard applicators at speed
- Takes almost any facestock and adhesive
- Can carry codes, tamper evidence, and holograms
- Supplied on rolls, easy to handle
- Convenient base for security labelling
How Acviss Supports Pressure-Sensitive Label
Acviss delivers its authentication features as pressure-sensitive labels, so a Certify code or a Uniqolabel holographic label drops straight into an existing labelling line with no new equipment.
The same label can combine a unique code with a tamper-evident construction, which links to tamper-proof labels and the right label substrate.

A self-adhesive label that bonds with light pressure alone, with no heat, water, or solvent. It is supplied on a release liner and applied by peeling and pressing.
A printed facestock on top, an adhesive layer beneath it, and a release liner that protects the adhesive until the label is applied.
It runs on standard applicators at speed, accepts almost any material and adhesive, and applies cleanly without heat or water.
Yes. A unique code, a tamper-evident cut, and a holographic layer can all be built into one self-adhesive label.
