Multi-layer labels, engineered to unfold

1. 01 Overlaminate 23–38 µm

   Takes the abrasion, the alcohol wipe and the UV so the print underneath does not.

2. 02 Top ply — print face 50–80 µm

   The face everyone sees on shelf. Carries the brand artwork, the barcode and the peel prompt.

3. 03 Hinge & pattern adhesive 18–25 g/m²

   The engineered part. A deadened stripe holds the fold shut; the rest of the panel stays free so it lifts cleanly and re-closes.

4. 04 Inner panel(s) 50–120 µm per panel

   The surface you bought the construction for: extra languages, dosing tables, a coupon code, an ingredient list, a QR to the SDS.

5. 05 Base ply & permanent adhesive 18–25 g/m²

   The part that stays married to the container for the product's whole life, through condensation, freezer and courier abrasion.

6. 06 Release liner 23–65 µm

   Not packaging waste — a precision part. It sets die-cut depth, dispensing speed and whether the label lifts at 300 packs a minute.
