Double-Sided Stickers | Stylishly Enhance Transparent Bottles with Adhesive-Side Printing

Double-Sided Printed Seals

Today, we introduce double-sided printed seals, which are printed on both the front and adhesive sides.

Before diving into the main topic, let’s talk a bit about design.

For example, suppose your company releases a product using transparent bottle containers. Besides the quality of the contents, the bottle design inevitably influences the product’s sales. The role of labels and seals on the product is to make consumers think, "I want this!"

Neglecting the appearance can result in the product not reaching consumers, no matter how much effort is put into its creation. In this era of abundance, it’s crucial to capture the consumer's attention at a glance. Our company proposes product seals that make consumers stop and look, explained through practical examples.

This time, we focus on double-sided printed seals. We hope you find hints for creating product seals and labels.

Image of Double-Sided Printed Seals

Unlike regular seals and labels, which are printed only on the front, double-sided printed seals are printed on both the front and the adhesive side. The adhesive side refers to the back of the seal.

First, take a look at the image below.

This is the double-sided printed seal we are introducing. This specification, where the adhesive side is also printed, is suitable only for transparent substrates. When viewed from the back, the design on the back of the seal can be seen.

This means it can be used on transparent bottle containers or windows. It is used overseas on mineral water bottles and cosmetic bottles.

Production Method

There are various production methods, but here we explain the general method used in the seal printing industry. First, reverse printing (printing with a reversed design plate) is done on transparent material, then white material is laminated onto it, and further printing is applied to complete the double-sided seal.

It can be produced if the adhesive side is transparent and the front side is white. It’s a simple technique that can be done by any seal printing company.

Image When Applied

Usually, when applying seals to bottle products, two seals are required: a front seal (brand) and a back seal (ingredient list, etc.). However, one of the attractions of double-sided printed seals is that only one seal is needed.

Here, we introduce an example of a beautiful double-sided printed seal.

The Orienstella series gemma, provided by Ethical Beauty, which plans, manufactures, and sells cosmetics, uses double-sided printed seals. This product is a genuine organic product that meets the standards of Japan’s first COSMOS organic certification.

The seal applied to this product is monochrome on the front, with an elegant design using embossing. Furthermore, when looking at the back of the bottle (the adhesive side of the front seal), a botanical world unfolds, making it highly appealing and enticing to use.

We have also put a lot of thought into the seal material. Since this product is used around water, we chose Yupo 110μ film. Normally, it is 80μ, but we chose 110μ to emphasize the embossing.

To prevent the black on the front from showing through and affecting the color printing on the adhesive side, we laminated high-opacity silver foil paper in between. In other words, we laminated three materials: Yupo 110μ, silver foil paper, and transparent PET 25μ.

Minimum Order Quantity for Double-Sided Seals

Our minimum order quantity for double-sided seals is 3,000 pieces. Most orders are between 5,000 to 20,000 pieces. Occasionally, we receive inquiries for small lots such as 500 or 1,000 pieces, but due to the high unit cost for small quantities, we have never received such orders. Please request a quote for 3,000 pieces or more.

Conclusion

Double-sided printed seals are suitable for transparent bottles. Since they involve additional materials and processing elements, the cost is slightly higher than regular seals. Therefore, the minimum order quantity is 3,000 pieces.

While product seals and labels are often targeted for cost reduction, there are manufacturers who focus on quality and processing. Consider which approach would better convey a sense of quality to consumers.
