Extending Label Footprints

Custom adhesive patterns can be accomplished by "printing" adhesive in a flexo station, deadening the adhesive for the non-adhesive area, or by using pattern adhesive stock. Overlaminants also can be used to hold the entire construction together before diecutting, perforating, and slitting. Two-sided window decals are also popular, and can be created on a clear, pressure-sensitive or static film by printing mirror-image and positive graphics separated by a layer of white ink or opaque white film.
