Posted on 06-27-2018
G
GAMMA STERILIZATION INDICATOR
A self-adhesive indicator in label form that undergoes a simple, chemical color-change when exposed to gamma radiation. The indicator changes from yellow to red when activated. This provides a yes/no indicator of gamma exposure for a wide range of applications, including medical and surgical products sterilization.
GAUGE
A unit of measure usually the thickness or diameter and generally express by a number.
GAUGE BANDS
Areas where material or liner is thicker, forming a hard ridge as layer after layer builds up in the same spot.
GLASSINE
A super calendered, smooth, dense, transparent or translucent paper manufactured primarily from chemical wood pulps which have been beaten to secure a high degree of hydration of the stock. Sometimes used as a release liner.
GLOSS
Characteristic of the surface which causes it to reflect light at a given angle.
GLUE
See adhesive.
GRAB
Ability of an adhesive to quickly adhere to a surface with a minimum of pressure (usually touched to the surface with its own weight). Also called instant adhesion or initial tack.
GRAIN
In papermaking, the direction in which most fibers lie corresponding with the alignment of the fibers in the direction of the paper travel through the paper machine.
GRAM
Unit of weight in the metric system; the weight of one cubic centimeter of water at standard conditions. 28.35 grams equal one ounce.
GUARD BARS
The bars which are at both ends and center of a UPC and EAN symbol. They provide reference points for scanning.
GUM
Reference to a broad class of synthetic and natural adhesive materials which exhibit good tack characteristics. See adhesive.
H
HALFTONE
The reproduction of continuous-tone subjects such as photographs through a contact halftone screen, which converts the image into dots with equal spacing and different sizes.
HALO
An undesirable, peripheral outline of a printed image. An undesirable, peripheral outline of adhesive around the edge of an applied pressure sensitive label (due to adhesive ooze or substrate shrinkage).
HANG TAG
Also referred to as swing tag, coupon tag, hang ticket or swing ticket. All variations of the paperboard or plastic swinging tags that are familiar on garments and point of sale applications. Most, but not all, hang tags do not have adhesive.
HARD DOT
A term that refers to a dot where the fringe or halo is so slight it is barely noticeable and the dot is very sharp.
HARDNESS
Degree of hardness. Shore and Rockwell are two scales used to measure and compare hardness.
HAZE
A degree of cloudiness in a plastic material.
HEALTHCARE SECURITY SOLUTONS
Security solutions include personal ID, blood bag labeling, sample identification, deep freeze sample storage, and sterile services labels.
HEAT RESISTANCE
The property of a material which inhibits the occurrence of physical or chemical changes caused by exposure to high temperatures. Many film materials have high heat resistance and some are specifically made for extreme heat conditions.
HEXACHROME
A six-color process developed by Pantone, which adds a vivid orange and intensified green to the standard CMYK color printing system. It uses a color matching system that allows for the combination of six colors in order to create a larger gamut of reproducible color.
HIGH TEMPERATURE ADHESIVE
An adhesive that enables a pressure sensitive label to adhere or stick well when applied to a hot substrate. It has a high degree of resistance to aging or deterioration at elevated temperatures.
HIGHLIGHT
The lightest or whitest parts in a photograph represented in a halftone reproduction by the smallest dots or the absence of all dots.
HIGH-SPEED UNWIND
A device used to accelerate the unwinding of a roll of labels on a high speed automatic label dispenser.
HOLDING POWER
The ability to withstand stress, as in holding rigid label materials on small diameter cylindrical objects. Involves both adhesive and cohesive strength and flexibility of the face material.
HOLOGRAM
The pattern on a photosensitive material or embossed into a polymeric film structure resulting from an interference pattern created by a laser light striking an object, then merging with a reference beam of the same light.
HOT MELT ADHESIVES
Thermoplastic materials with 100% solids that liquefy when heated and resolidify on cooling to form a bond with the face sheet. It is a pressure sensitive lamination which includes a release coated backing sheet.
HOT STAMPING
A printing process in which the image is transferred to a label material by a combination of heat and pressure. Typically a very thin aluminum foil is used in a variety of metallic colors, but solid colors and patterns are also used.
HUE
The main attribute of a color which distinguishes it from other colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue are color hues.
HYDROSCOPIC
The quality of some materials to absorb atmospheric moisture; exhibiting an affinity for water.
