1.1 Automotive and Electronics Labeling
The applications in automotive and electronics labeling can be divided into information labels and functional labels. Information labels mainly carry information for equipment recognition, while functional labels are used for the protection of equipment. Labels on automotive and electronics applications must withstand heat, harsh environments and resist solvents |

1.2 Food Labeling
Food safety standards and regulations required by law such as net content, name and address of the manufacturer, ingredients and nutritional information are a large influence on the construction of the label. Food labels must perform in a variety of environments. For example, food labels must resist moisture as well as cold temperatures, while also adhering to uneven surfaces, such as cardboard or synthetic substrates such as oriented polypropylene (OPP), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET) or polyamine (PA, nylon).

1.3 Beverage Labeling
Beverage labeling includes wine, spirits, soft drink and water labeling. The adhesive and face stock must perform well during washing, pasteurization, filling, transportation, chilling and drinking. The adhesive must also resist ice bucket immersion for white wines and champagnes |

1.4 Home and Personal Care Labeling
Home and personal care labeling covers a wide variety of applications such as detergents and household cleaners, hair care, skin care, oral care, bath and shower, fragrances and perfumes. Flexible packages need flexible labels and the usage conditions of nearly all products call for waterproof materials as well as resistance to oils and chemicals.
Clear-on-clear combinations create a no-label-look which has becomes the current trend in the industry. The adhesive must have excellent clarity and resistance to UV-light in order to perform well in this area. |

1.5 Techno-chemical Labeling |
| |
 |
Labeling in the techno-chemical industry covers many different applications, including bulk chemicals, drummed chemicals, oils, paints, building and agricultural products.Because in many applications both the face material and adhesive must be water and chemical resistant and have good outdoor durability, filmic face materials are commonly used. |
|
| |
1.6 Pharmaceutical and health care labeling
|
 |
Pharmaceutical labeling are able to withstand sterilization processes are some of the more demanding applications in pharmaceutical labeling.
The imprintability of the face stock is important. Because in pharmaceutical labels must often be traceable, batch numbers and expiration dates are imprinted on the label. |

1.7 Security Labeling

|
|
| 2. Variable Information Labeling |
 |
Labels used in Variable Information Printing (VIP) labeling are either blanks or pre-printed. They are often overprinted using a VIP technique, such as dot-matrix, direct thermal, thermal transfer, laser or ink-jet. |
|
| |
2.1 Industrial Information Labeling |
 |
With industrial information labeling, the label is either conventionally or digitally preprinted and then imprinted with variable information that gives the product identification, content, quantity, weight, use and security. Industrial information labels are quite simple and do not play a major role in decoration, but must be able to endure difficult conditions such as moisture, temperature, scratches and UV light. |
|
| |
2.2 Logistics and Transport Labeling |
 |
Logistics and transport labeling is one of the fastest growing segments of variable information labeling. Labels are pre-printed and then imprinted with variable information for routing, inventory, warehouse tracking and work-in-process tracing purposes. In logistics and transport labeling the life of the label is relatively short, with scratch resistance being the main criteria.

2.4 Retail Information Labeling |
 |
Retail information labeling can be divided into 2 major usages, price marking and catch-weigh labeling. For both, a logo is normally preprinted on a die-cut label with 1 or 2 colors. VIP techniques can be used on preprinted labels, most often by thermal transfer or laser printers
