Are you the type of person who feels guilty every time you put something in the trash? It used to be that just older generations made the best use of virtually every item they came in contact with, but with today’s greener thinking, people of every age are looking for creative ways to improve usefulness and cut down on waste. Fortunately, that type of thinking had already made its way into the manufacturing sector and specifically into label production. Not only did label makers concern themselves with making proper sizing, which reduces waste, but they also considered the entire label application process when looking for improvements. Recognizing that customers often needed labels for temporary situations, the idea of a removable label was born. Using a removable label allowed customers to maintain the integrity of the item they were labeling, by being able to easily remove the label when necessary. This simple label solution cut down waste on things such as file folders, data records, envelopes, and numerous other daily labeled items.

Removable label advantages
While many doctor’s, dentist, or other medical offices appreciate the ease of maintaining and updating a client’s chart with a simple replaceable label, removable labels have other application advantages in the business world. As a consumer, how often have you purchased something from the store only to struggle with the task of removing a stubborn label? Wasted time, energy, and often water is spent scrubbing off “temporary” labels that clearly weren’t temporary. Customers truly appreciate a simple label removal process on products they purchase, and this can easily be accomplished by just switching to a removable label.

Product coupons, sometimes called irc labels, are another common type of removable label that benefits the packaging industry. Consumers can quickly remove the coupon, to redeem at checkout, or use at home as a mail in rebate, without spoiling the product packaging.

Features of Removable Labels
If you currently use removable labels, or are in the market for them, you should really be aware of the various labeling features available. Below are the most common removable label features:
