There’s nothing more frustrating than spending time and money designing beautiful labels—only to watch them peel off your products. Whether during transport, on the shelf, or in the consumer’s hands, label failure can damage not only the packaging, but also your brand’s reputation.
At Cahaya Jakarta, we believe every label should stick with pride. So here are three key things to consider to prevent label peel disasters—and ensure your products look their best from start to finish.
How to Keep Labels from Peeling
1. Apply Labels to a Clean and Dry Surface
Even the highest quality label adhesive won’t perform well if the surface isn’t properly prepared. Before application:
Ensure the surface is clean and completely dry.
Use alcohol or soap and water to clean, then air dry or use a lint-free cloth
Avoid touching the adhesive side; hold labels by the edges
Clean hands = better stick
These steps may seem simple, but they’re often overlooked—and they make a big difference. If you’d rather skip the hassle, our sister company CJ Pack can handle the full application process with precision and consistency.
2. Choose the Right Label Material
Not all label materials are created equal—especially for products stored in cold or high-humidity environments like refrigerators and freezers. Standard adhesives can fail in these conditions.
That’s why Cahaya Jakarta offers specialized materials and adhesives rated for temperatures as low as -20℃, ensuring your labels stay put, no matter the environment.
3. Consider the Shape and Surface of Your Container
A container’s surface—whether it’s curved, textured, or unusually shaped—has a huge impact on how well a label adheres.
For example:
Thick label stocks may not flex well around curved containers
Dome-shaped labels can lift on tight curves
Rough textures can interfere with adhesion
The key is selecting the right combination of material and adhesive for your container’s shape and surface. That’s where our expertise comes in—we tailor solutions for even the most unconventional packaging.
Keep Your Labels Stuck, Not Stressed
Label peeling issues don’t have to be a recurring nightmare. With expert guidance and the right materials, your packaging can look flawless and perform perfectly—every time.
