Product Overview

 

Custom cosmetic labels are pressure-sensitive labels designed for skincare, hair care, color cosmetics, and personal care packaging. They provide product identification, branding, and printed information on containers made from glass, PET, HDPE, LDPE, and other compatible packaging materials.


We supply custom-converted labels in roll-fed formats for automatic application, with material, adhesive, printing, and finishing options selected according to container geometry, packaging conditions, and production requirements.


From rigid glass serum bottles to flexible cosmetic squeeze tubes, the appropriate label construction depends on the container surface, curvature, dispensing conditions, and exposure to water, oils, alcohol-based products, and other ingredients.

Materials & Construction

 

A pressure-sensitive cosmetic label consists of a face stock, adhesive layer, and release liner. The performance of the finished label depends on the compatibility of these components with the packaging substrate and application environment.

 

Face Stocks

 

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene): Available in clear, white, and selected metallized constructions. BOPP is commonly considered for moisture-resistant cosmetic packaging, including bottles, jars, and selected squeeze-tube applications. Clear BOPP may be used for transparent label designs, subject to adhesive clarity and container compatibility.


PE (Polyethylene): Flexible PE face stocks may be suitable for squeezable containers and curved surfaces. Their conformability can help accommodate packaging movement, but performance depends on film grade, adhesive selection, label geometry, and the degree of container deformation.


PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): PET face stocks offer dimensional stability and are used in applications requiring a relatively rigid film label. Potential uses include transparent packaging panels, product information labels, and selected seal applications, depending on the required construction.


Textured Specialty Papers: Paper face stocks with textured, embossed, or tactile finishes can support premium skincare and beauty packaging designs. Suitability for wet environments depends on the paper grade, surface treatment, adhesive, and protective finish.

Adhesives

 

Permanent Acrylic Adhesives: Acrylic adhesive systems are commonly considered for glass and selected plastic containers. The appropriate grade depends on surface energy, application temperature, required adhesion, aging conditions, and exposure to cosmetic formulations.


High-Tack Adhesives: High-tack acrylic or rubber-based options may be evaluated for low-surface-energy plastics, including selected PE and PP packaging. Actual adhesion should be verified on the intended container material and surface finish.


Removable and Repositionable Adhesives: These options may be suitable for promotional labels, temporary product information, and selected peel-off applications. Clean removal depends on the adhesive formulation, substrate, dwell time, environmental conditions, and removal procedure.


Low-Migration Adhesive Options: For packaging projects with specific migration requirements, low-migration adhesive systems may be considered. Suitability must be assessed against the packaging structure, intended use, formulation, and applicable regulatory requirements. Supporting technical documentation should be reviewed before making compliance claims.

Release Liners

 

Glassine and Other Paper Liners: Paper release liners are available in different grades and basis weights. The appropriate liner depends on die-cutting requirements, dispensing performance, label dimensions, and converting conditions.


PET Release Liners: PET liners may be considered where dimensional stability, tear resistance, or consistent liner thickness is important. Their suitability for a particular dispensing line should be evaluated against die-cutting quality, liner release force, web tension, and equipment configuration.
