Freezer Labels

Labels for Cold Temperatures

In both the food and pharmaceutical industries, it is essential to label products permanently and securely, even at temperatures below freezing. We offer you both standard and special materials and adhesives that are suitable for refrigeration temperatures. Whether individual labels, blank labels or pre-printed labels in fluorescent colours, our cold-resistant materials and adhesives guarantee you reliable adhesive strength, excellent legibility thanks to a clear printing image and high resistance to moisture and temperature.

Deep-freeze adhesive vs. standard adhesive

Labels with a deep-freeze adhesive require different handling than those with a standard adhesive. Our standard high-gloss white paper with freezer adhesive is the best proof of this.
This is a material with a special adhesive that we can activate for you in your personal calculator. There are a few things to bear in mind during application to ensure that the labels adhere reliably to your products:

#1 Application temperature: One of the most important factors is the temperature of the product at the time of application. The so-called application temperature should be at least -25°C. This means that even frozen products, such as ice cream tubs, can be labelled.

#2 Resting time: You should also give the freshly labelled products a little time and allow them to ‘rest’ before exposing them to further temperature differences. This also helps the adhesive to reach its full adhesive strength. We recommend a resting time of at least 20 minutes.

#3 Manual labelling: In the event that you apply your labels with deep-freeze adhesive to your products by hand, special care must be taken. Make sure you press the labels evenly and firmly onto the product. This is the only way to ensure a reliable adhesion.

The guidelines are slightly different for the labelling process of materials with our standard adhesive. Materials with standard adhesive should be applied at temperatures above 0°C. They can then withstand temperatures between -20°C and +80°C, while labels with freezer-grade adhesive are suitable for temperatures between -40°C and +60°C.

Deep-Freeze Labels – Use Immediately or Print on Later

As a professional label printer, we produce your self-adhesive labels on rolls for the freezer sector on request. We can produce your labels in rectangular, round or your individual shape. We also produce the labels exactly according to your specifications, so that you can use our roll labels on all common labelling systems and finishing machines or print them later with your printer models. You decide the inner diameter of your roll cores and the outer diameter of your label rolls. Of course, our label rolls are also suitable for manual processing in addition to machine processing.

Design Options for Freezer Labels

Of course, you can also give free rein to your creativity when designing your freezer labels. Choose the right material from our wide range of special materials and give your label that special finishing touch with one of our finishes. Whether it’s metallic labels, hot foil stamping in gold, silver or rose gold, or blind embossing for a special touch, it’s all possible with etiqueta.es. Feel free to discuss your ideas with our customer service and find out what options there are for designing your label. After all, a frozen food label should naturally also look good at the point of sale.
