Non-Adhesive Labels

Products

Identification and Branding, Without Glue

Not every product should be labelled with adhesive. Shrink sleeves, woven and printed garment labels, swing tags, and wrap-around bands attach mechanically or thermally — by heat, thread, or tension — opening up coverage, texture, and application options that glue-based labels can’t match.
Speciality Label develops non-adhesive labelling solutions for products where a full-body wrap, a sewn-in label, or a hang tag is the better fit.

Discuss Your Label Requirement

Non-Adhesive Formats We Develop

Shrink Sleeve Labels

Full-body or partial sleeves that shrink to conform to a container's shape, giving 360-degree graphic coverage on contoured, tapered, or irregular bottles — without seams interrupting the design. Best for: Beverages, personal care, and products where the container shape itself is part of the brand.

Wrap-Around & Band Labels

Labels applied by tension or heat rather than adhesive, wrapping fully around a container or securing a closure without a pressure-sensitive bond. Best for: Tamper-evident bands, promotional wraps, multi-pack bundling.

Woven & Printed Garment Labels

Fabric-based labels sewn or heat-applied to apparel and textiles for branding, sizing, and care information. Best for: Apparel, textiles, accessories.

Swing Tags & Tickets

Printed tags attached by string, loop, or pin rather than adhesive — used for pricing, branding, and product information on garments and retail goods. Best for: Fashion, retail, gifting.
