Traditional paper labels applied with cold glue, delivering a classic look and the most cost-effective labeling solution.
Wet glue labels are the traditional labeling method where pre-cut paper labels are applied to containers using cold (wet) adhesive during the filling line process. This time-proven technology remains the most cost-effective labeling solution, particularly for high-volume applications in the beverage and canned food industries.
SYSCON produces wet glue labels using offset and flexographic printing on paper and metallized paper stocks. Our labels feature premium finishing options including embossing, debossing, hot foil stamping, and textured papers that deliver the classic, tactile quality expected by discerning consumers of beer, wine, spirits, and specialty food products.

The lowest cost-per-label of any labeling technology, making wet glue ideal for high-volume production runs where unit economics are critical.
