Self Adhesive Labels
Applied to the container, popular for plastic, glass and metal.
This technique is a standard in the packaging industry. Pressure sensitive labels have adhesive on the back - either water activated or peel off. Adhesive backing is available as removable, temporary or permanent. Call Cleveland Bottle & Supply Co.

Silk Screen Labels
Labeling imprinted directly on the container - popular for plastic and glass.
Silk Screening is a technique that is well established in the labeling industry. A silk stencil is made from artwork supplied by the customer using a photographic technique to transfer the image. The image on the silk is a reverse image which allows ink through the silk to print the artwork. The plain area of the design is blocked by a solid area on the silk. In essence, the absence and presence of solids on the open mesh or screen allow the inks to pass through to the container.

Printing / Lithography on Metal Containers
This method is used to produce printing directly onto metal closures and containers.
Artwork supplied by the customer is photographically transferred to a metal printing plate and flat sheets of metal are imprinted on a large press. After imprinting the metal is cut and formed into closures. Printed Labeling requires considerable volume to be cost effective but produces high quality results.

Slip-On Sleeve Labeling
Slip-On Sleeve Labeling is popular for plastic, glass and metal.
This is a plastic polyethylene sleeve that can be applied by hand or automated equipment which slips the sleeve onto the container. Sleeve Labeling is a cost effective method if you can use the same size label for several different products.

It is the customer’s responsibility to check and test the compatibility of the product with the container and closure.
