Food label materials are FDA-compliant substrates designed for food packaging, ensuring safety, durability, print clarity, and adhesion across the product’s shelf life.
Facestock: Paper, film, or specialty materials with superior printability.
Adhesives: Food-grade, temperature- and migration-resistant.
Liners: Protective, high-speed compatible, and recyclable.
Food labels are more than identifiers — they protect freshness, ensure compliance, and influence consumer choice. The right food label material minimizes waste, prevents relabeling, and safeguards your brand reputation across demanding conditions like moisture, heat, cold, and handling.
The diversity of food packaging environments—ranging from freezing conditions to high humidity and oil exposure—requires facestock materials to deliver outstanding stability and print compatibility. The choice of facestock directly determines how a label performs under extreme conditions such as cold storage, moisture, and greasy surfaces.

Adhesives represent the most technically demanding component of label materials, especially in food-related applications where safety is more critical than adhesion strength itself. Selecting the right adhesive system ensures not only secure labeling performance but also compliance with strict food safety regulations.
Acrylic Adhesives (water-based or solvent-based) are known for their excellent UV resistance, high-temperature stability, and long-term aging performance. In food labeling applications, solutions such as the S2000N series are widely used for dry, moist, and certain non-oily food packaging. These adhesives comply with FDA §175.105 standards, making them a reliable choice for safe and durable labeling.
Hot Melt Rubber Adhesives provide extremely high initial tack, making them ideal for rough surfaces or low surface energy (LSE) substrates. In cold and humid environments, hot melt systems (such as C4510) typically outperform standard acrylic adhesives, making them the preferred choice for meat and poultry packaging.
| Technical Parameter | Test Method | Typical Value (S2000N) | Application Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Tack | FTM 9 (Glass) | 16 N / 25 mm | Immediate bonding strength when the label contacts the container surface |
| Peel Adhesion | FTM 2 (Stainless Steel) | 9 N / 25 mm | Ability to prevent label edge lifting and ensure long-term adhesion |
| Minimum Application Temperature | – | 0°C | Below this temperature, adhesive performance may be compromised during application |
| Service Temperature Range | – | -20°C to 80°C | Temperature range the label can withstand after application |
