How Do Pressure Sensitive Labels Benefit the Beer Industry?

Apart from the clean and efficient application process of these labels, and the capability of being available in any shape and size, there are some more reasons why the PS labels are making their presence felt in the craft beer industry. The following are the reasons, which are actually the benefits of these labels:

• Long-lasting Material: There are various paper-based labels, which are used in several applications.

The PS labels used on these cans and bottles have a strong bond with their adhered.
• Less Set-up Time: The final, and another striking beneficial feature of these labels is that they can be printed using a digital press, which requires less set-up time. This saved time allows you to choose the minimum and maximum order quantity of your choice. Thus, you can place an order for these labels in varying quantities.
