Self-adhesive material families

Paper and film are starting points, not complete specifications.

Compare material families within the full facestock, optional topcoat, adhesive and liner construction.

02 / Material family

PP / BOPP

Film appearance is only one decision; application surface, adhesive requirements, liner and print or converting compatibility also need context.

PET

Start with the required appearance and application context, then identify what must be confirmed through documentation and testing.

PE

Application shape and handling context help determine which film and construction details require closer evaluation.

Construction first

Choose the material family, then verify the full stack.

Paper, BOPP, PET and PE describe the visible face, not the complete labelstock. The adhesive, release liner, print route and application surface still need to be carried into the same sample discussion.
