Removable labels that adhere well and leave no residue behind
For temporary identification in logistics and industrial environments
What are removable labels used for?
Removable labels are used for the temporary identification of products, materials, and components. The material adheres securely to glass, cardboard, plastics, steel and paper. It also complies with European Food Regulation 1935/2004/EC, German Recommendation (BfR) XIV, FDA 175.105 and EU Regulation 10/2011, making it suitable for use in the food industry, for example on plastic packaging.
Our removable label materials are widely used as Work-in-Progress (WIP) labels for applications in the steel industry, such as the identification of metal sheets, pipes and semi-finished products. Important production data such as dimensions, batch numbers and processing instructions can be printed directly onto the label. Once a component is ready for the next stage of production (e.g. welding, coating or finishing), the label can be removed cleanly, leaving the surface free from adhesive residue and traces of label material.
The benefits of removable labels
- Most conventional labels with a permanent adhesive leave behind adhesive or label material residue when removed. As a result, the surface often needs to be cleaned using aggressive chemicals or may even become permanently damaged. Our removable and reusable labels can be removed easily without leaving residue or causing damage to the surface.
- Because removable labels can be reused, they help improve operational efficiency, reduce waste and lower costs. Even after years of use, the adhesive retains its performance and reliability.
In short, removable labels reduce cleaning costs, reduce time spent on relabelling, and lower the cost of printing or ordering new labels.

Why choose removable labels for your warehouse?
Warehouse labels provide long-term identification of products, crates or storage locations. Therefore, both quality and adhesive strength important factors to take into consideration when choosing a label material.
However, in some cases temporary labels will suffice, but that doesn’t mean the labels should be of inferior quality. After all, you still want the labels to be legible and adhere well to the surface in addition to being able to be easily and cleanly removed. That’s where our Repositionable labels (M1450) come in.

Changing locations
If your warehouse layout changes frequently, repositionable labels are a smart choice for pallet racking. They are also widely used for shelving labels or as an alternative to magnets.

Track & trace
If you need to scan goods on arrival but are required to remove the label before the goods are being dispatched, removable labels may offer a practical solution.

Damaged beams
Do you need to replace a damaged label or cross beam? You can easily replace the removable label with a new label without leaving any residue behind.

Reorganisation
Use repositionable labels for your rack labels during reorganisation. You do not need to order new labels for locations that remain unchanged, while the existing labels are easily removed and reused.
