pressure sensitive extended content labels
showcase your brand with pressure sensitive extended content labels
Pressure sensitive extended content labels (ECLs) from Castle Pierce provide premium, durable, multi-page label solutions designed for industries where additional content space is crucial.
ECLs are ideal for cosmetics, personal care, healthcare, household and industrial cleaning, agro-chemical, and specialty chemical products, particularly those subject to strict regulations or with limited packaging space.
What is a Pressure Sensitive Extended Content Label?
Often called booklet labels, an extended content label (ECL) is a multi-layer, multi-page, resealable labeling solution that provides extra space for important product information without compromising design.
The extra content area offered by pressure sensitive ECLs is used by brand owners for regulatory information, GHS, multilingual instructions, and marketing content in a secure, user-friendly format.
Castle Pierce currently offers 3, 5, & 7 page Pressure Sensitive booklets.
Features of Our Pressure Sensitive Extended Content Labels
Our pressure sensitive ECLs offer a range of unique features to help bring your brand and key information to life.
- Hinged Booklet Design: Ensuring all pages stay intact, a permanent hinge may be positioned on any side of the label. This allows the booklet to open on the left, right, top, or bottom.
- Resealable Closure: Positioned opposite the hinge, our resealable closure is engineered to be opened and resealed multiple times, outlasting the product’s lifecycle.
- Film Construction: All pages of our ECLs are constructed from film materials, offering a thin but robust booklet label.
- Water and Chemical Resistant: Our all-film construction combined with our UV inks and coatings ensure your labels are waterproof and chemical resistant.
Layers of Our Pressure Sensitive Extended Content Labels
Our pressure sensitive ECLs contain three main layers — the base ply layer and the top and centry ply layers.
- Base Ply Layer: The base ply layer is white, clear, metalized, or coverup material tailor-made to your specific packaging requirements.
- Top & Centry Ply(s): Castle Pierce uses a proprietary BOPP top ply film for the booklet pages. This thin top ply construction allows for more labels per roll, reducing roll change during application and an aesthetically pleasing sleek packaging profile.
