1. GLUED PAPER: This is a separate paper cut into proper size and design of the
container onto the labeling conditions are printed and then glued by using natural
gum .
2. SELF- ADHESIVE LABEL: This is a material with adhesive backing. It will
adhere to the surface automatically by the action of the glue when pressure is
applied. It is composed of paper, PVC or polyester .

6. 3.HEAT SEAL LABEL: This needs the application of heat to activate the adhesive.
These labels are made by application of heat and pressure and are used for
permanent labeling and tamper evident applications.

are used for pharmaceutical package and drug containers. Both methods are independent of
exterior texture and design .
