A specialized substrate designed for inkjet or laser printers, this material allows users to create custom adhesive labels and decals. Typically, it consists of a printable face stock adhered to a release liner, enabling easy separation after printing. Common applications include product labeling, crafting, and personal organization.
The availability of such media empowers individuals and businesses with the capacity for on-demand label production. This eliminates the need for outsourcing smaller-scale projects, reducing lead times and costs. Historically, custom label production required specialized equipment and expertise; these materials democratize the process, placing it within reach of a wider audience.
Understanding the various types, finishes, and adhesive properties is crucial for achieving optimal results. Subsequent sections will explore these characteristics in detail, providing guidance on selecting the most appropriate option for specific applications and printing technologies.
