What type of adhesive label paper is suitable for matching with the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd.?

 

Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. recommends using adhesive label paper with moderate thickness (usually 80-120gsm) and good toughness. This type of adhesive label paper is not easy to tear or deform, can be smoothly inserted into the adhesive label holders for shelves, and can well display the information on the adhesive label. At the same time, the surface of the adhesive label paper should have good printability to ensure that the content of the adhesive label is clear and not easy to fade.

 

Can the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. be reused after being removed from the shelf?

 

Generally, the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. are designed for one-time installation. After being removed from the shelf, the adhesive on the back will lose most of its stickiness, making it difficult to reattach firmly to the shelf. If you need to reposition the label holder, it is recommended to purchase a new adhesive label holder for shelves and match it with new adhesive label and adhesive label paper for installation.

 

How to ensure that the adhesive label holders for shelves are installed in a straight line on a long shelf?

 

When installing adhesive label holders for shelves on a long shelf, you can first use a ruler and a pencil to draw a light straight line along the position where the label holders will be installed on the shelf. Then, align each adhesive label holder for shelves with this straight line during installation. Alternatively, you can use a level to check the horizontalness of the label holder while installing, ensuring that each label holder is on the same horizontal line. This method can make the installed adhesive label holders for shelves neat and uniform, and the adhesive label inside can also be displayed more neatly.

 

Will the adhesive on the adhesive label holders for shelves damage the surface of the shelf when removed?

 

The adhesive used on the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. is a high-quality, low-residue adhesive. Under normal circumstances, when the label holder is removed correctly (slowly peeling off from one end to the other), it will not leave obvious adhesive residues on the shelf surface, nor will it damage the shelf surface. If there is a small amount of residual adhesive, you can wipe it off with a cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol (note: test whether alcohol will damage the shelf surface in an inconspicuous area first). However, do not use sharp tools to scrape the shelf surface to avoid causing scratches.

 

What is the service life of the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. under normal use?

 

Under normal use conditions (avoiding long-term exposure to high temperature, high humidity, or strong corrosive environments), the adhesive label holders for shelves from Shenzhen kingcolor paper co., Ltd. can have a service life of 2-3 years. During this period, the adhesive can maintain good stickiness, and the label holder itself will not be easily deformed or damaged.

Of course, the specific service life will also be affected by the frequency of use and the environment of the shelf.
