Tips for Making Self-Adhesive Labels Stick Firmly
Techniques for ensuring custom labels adhere securely?
You've come to the right person!
It's truly frustrating when self-adhesive labels won't stay put.
Here are some practical tips from SHIMAI:

Before Application — Surface Preparation is Key

Step 1: Clean the surface — First, wipe away dust and grease from the surface using alcohol or a damp cloth. Wait until it's completely dry before applying the label.
Step 2: Choose the right spot — Try to apply on flat, smooth areas, avoiding seams and wrinkles.
During Application — Technique Matters
Use the "Peel, Stick, Press" three-step method:
•  After peeling off the label, align it with the target position
•  Start from one edge and slowly apply it down
•  Once in place, use your finger or a squeegee to press from the center outward, pushing out any air bubbles

Choose Adhesive Based on Material

Surface Type	Recommended Adhesive
Smooth surfaces (glass, metal, plastic)	Acrylic adhesive — strong bonding power
Rough surfaces (cardboard, corrugated paper)	Solvent-based rubber adhesive — penetrates gaps
High-temperature environments	Heat-resistant silicone adhesive
Humid environments	Waterproof water-based acrylic adhesive

Environment Also Matters
•  Avoid temperatures that are too high or too low; room temperature of 20-25°C is optimal
•  Both excessive humidity and excessive dryness affect adhesion
Pro tip: Let the label sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes after application to allow the adhesive to fully cure and bond more securely.

In summary, for ordinary cardboard boxes, following these steps will generally prevent the labels from falling off. For special materials, please confirm the adhesive type with customer service!
