Curved Surfaces Need Special Booklet Labels
If your product is packaged in a round container, you will need a special booklet label to label it. The Lam To Liner (LTL) is a booklet label that has a short base label. When the booklet is laminated, part of the “lam” lays directly on the carrier liner (See the picture below that shows an applied LTL with the laminate sticking directly to the container. The tab part is pulled up for illustration purposes.) When the LTL is removed from the liner, the booklet is open on one side allowing it be formed around a curved surface; The tension is released. Conversely, a standard booklet label is laminated to the label below it – on both sides – which doesn’t allow it to freely bend. Some of our customers will try to use a Standard Booklet label (see below) on this type of application to save money, but they wrinkle, the label wings lay down awkwardly, and are almost impossible to open.
Another label construction we use for curved surfaces are (Pi) Labels®. This construction is a wraparound label that wraps on itself. (It’s the second picture above) It’s name is derived from the formula for a circle. It is naturally good around very tight diameters and is often used on vials and syringes. We can print both sides of the label. It’s a very popular product!

A Standard Booklet Label doesn’t work on round containers.
