Coffee adhesive labels can be classified from three dimensions: material, adhesive, and function. Among them, material classification is the most commonly referenced dimension when selecting coffee labels, as different materials directly affect the texture, durability, and applicable scenarios of the labels.
Classification of Coffee Adhesive Labels
Coffee adhesive labels are mainly classified based on material, function, and usage scenarios. The core categories include paper (such as copperplate paper, kraft paper), plastic film (such as PVC, PP, PET), and special process labels (such as anti-counterfeiting, removable, transparent labels). These labels have their own emphasis on waterproofing, texture, environmental friendliness, and visual presentation, adapting to the packaging needs and brand tone of different coffee products.
1、 Classified by material: determines basic performance and applicable environment
- Copperplate paper adhesive label
Smooth surface and high whiteness, suitable for color printing, can clearly display graphic and textual information such as coffee bean origin and roasting curve. Commonly used for sealing coffee packaging bags and product instruction labels. But it is not resistant to oil and is suitable for indoor dry environments.
- Kraft paper adhesive label
Featuring a natural texture and vintage style, environmentally friendly and biodegradable, it aligns with the brand image of hand brewed, premium, and organic coffee. Suitable for packaging coffee bean bags and ear bags, conveying the emotional value of "handmade" and "natural".
Waterproof, oil resistant, and chemically resistant, suitable for labeling refrigerated coffee bottles and cold brew beverage cups. It has good flexibility, can fit curved containers, and supports processes such as hot stamping and UV to enhance texture.
PET adhesive labelHigh temperature resistance (-40 ℃~150 ℃), scratch resistance, suitable for sealing labels on coffee cans and aluminum foil bags that require high-temperature sterilization or long-term storage. It is the preferred material for high-end ready to drink coffee.
- Transparent adhesive label
Transparent PP or PET materials are often used to achieve an "invisible" effect when applied to glass cups and PET cold drink cups, without obscuring the color of the beverage. They are commonly used for external coffee cup stickers and cold brew glass bottle labels, highlighting the true beauty of the product.
2、 Classified by functional characteristics: meet specific usage needs
- Waterproof and moisture-proof label:
made of PVC or PE material, combined with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, specially designed for high humidity and low temperature scenarios such as cold extraction and iced coffee, even if water droplets condense on the cup wall, they will not curl or fall off.
- Removable self-adhesive labels:
using a re opening adhesive, leaving no residue after tearing off, suitable for coffee tasting sets, promotional sets, or environmentally friendly cups that need to be reused.
- Anti counterfeiting label:
Integrated with QR code, temperature changing ink or fragile paper structure, used for high-end premium beans or limited edition coffee to prevent counterfeiting and enhance consumer trust.
- Matte silver/matte gold brushed label:
with metallic texture and scratch resistance, suitable for gift coffee and holiday limited edition, enhancing the product's sense of luxury and gift giving ceremony.
