The core differences between heat shrink labels and regular self-adhesive labels lie in their application method, shape fit, and protective effect. The choice should be based on product characteristics and packaging requirements.
Selection Recommendations:
① Irregularly shaped bottles, curved cans, and integrated packaging: Choose heat shrink labels (PETG is suitable for high-requirement food packaging, POF for mid-to-high-end products, and PVC for low-budget non-food products);
② Flat products, small-batch labeling, and limited budget: Choose self-adhesive labels;
③ Food packaging (requiring safety and high transparency): Choose PETG or food-grade POF heat shrink labels;
④ Tamper-proof and dustproof: Choose heat shrink labels (completely wraps after shrinking, tearing results in damage);
⑤ Frequent handling and friction scenarios: Choose heat shrink labels (tight adhesion, superior abrasion resistance compared to self-adhesive labels).
