What Are Sandwich Labels?
Multilayer, also known as sandwich, peel-off, or booklet labels , consist of two layers of label material positioned on top of each other, resembling small booklets. The pages can be opened and closed multiple times, and printing is possible on the "first," "second (adhesive)," and the "third" side.
Thanks to this technology, more space is created for content, whether it's text or graphics. Multilayer labels (sandwich, booklet, or peel-off) are the perfect solution when a large amount of information needs to fit into a small area.
Applications examples
Multilayer, sandwich, booklet, or peel-off labels are most commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics industries. They are applicable in practically all areas of production when extensive content needs to be presented, but there isn’t enough space on the packaging itself. These are often multilingual declarations..
Coupons and Sweepstakes
This special type of self-adhesive label is often used in marketing campaigns or sweepstakes: the top layer displays the brand or marketing message of the company, while the bottom layer—hidden until the top is peeled off—contains the coupon, code, or prize. The bottom layer can also be printed using digital methods to apply variable data such as unique codes, links, messages, or prizes.
Advantages of Multilayer Labels
Gain more space for your text—triple the available area on your packaging for declarations or various other information.
Add images and graphics with a strong message, without sacrificing space for important and often legally required textual information.
Materials
Although self-adhesive paper (PAP) can be used, synthetic material is recommended—most commonly white polypropylene (PP).
Production Technology
Flexo and Digital Printing
Thanks to flexographic technology, larger quantities of sandwich labels can be produced, while digital printing allows for serialization, variable data printing, printing unique codes—which is essential for creating labels for sweepstakes.
