Labeling Terms & Definitions: I-K
Posted on 06-27-2018
I
ID
Inside diameter. In label manufacturing, the ID is often called out for the core on which the labels are rolled around. The ID of a label core can be important if the labels are to be mounted on an unwind chuck for subsequent printing operations or if used on an automatic label application machine.
IMPACT PRINTING
A printing system where microprocessor-controlled hammer impacts against a ribbon and a substrate.
IMPREGNATE
To saturate or permeate a material with a substance.
IMPRESSION CYLINDER
In printing, the cylinder on a printing press over which the material feeds to pick up the impression from the inked plate.
IMPRESSION
The image transferred from the printing plate or cylinder to the printing substrate.
IMPRINTING
Technique in which changeable copy is added to blank or previously printed labels or tags with a secondary printing device such as an imprinter, computer printer, or typewriter.
INDUSTRIAL LABELS
Labels that are required to withstand a range of conditions and extreme climates which may include oil, water, chemical or grease resistance, high or low temperatures, abrasion or scuffing.
INHIBITOR
A compound (usually organic) that retards or stops a chemical reaction such as corrosion, oxidation or polymerization.
INITIAL RELEASE
A release test run immediately after coating and laminating.
INITIAL TACK
Degree of stickiness when a pressure sensitive label is first applied to a product.
INK BLEED
Penetration of one color of ink into the facestock in such a manner as to cause one color to run into and discolor either the background color of the facestock, or another color of ink that is laid down adjacent to the color that is bleeding.
INK HOLDOUT
Describes the degree to which pigment and binder stay on the surface of a material; a function of the ink, material and solvent (or chemical) interactions.
INK JET
A method of printing using jets of very fine ink droplets fired at the substrate to form the same or variable information images on to paper or other substrate without a press. There are special label materials manufactured specifically for inkjet applications.
IN-LINE PRESS
A press coupled to another operation such as sheeting, die-cutting, or creasing. A multi-color press in which the color stations are mounted horizontally in a line.
IN-MOLD LABELS (IML)
Special type of labels which are bonded to plastic bottles during the blow-molding operation.
INTERLEAVED 2 of 5 BAR CODE
A numeric only, bi-directional, self-checking bar code symbology consisting of five bars, two of which are wide. Both spaces and bars carry information, and there must be an even number of characters in the code.
INTERNAL BOND
See cohesive strength.
INTERNAL STRESS
Stress created within the adhesive layer by the movement of the adherends at differential rates or by contraction or expansion of the adhesive layer.
INVISIBLE BAR CODES
These bar codes make use of near infra-red fluorophones, which are invisible to the naked eye. They produce visible fluorescence when subjected to laser light. The inks used for invisible bar code reading are available for both flexographic and thermal transfer printing.
INVISIBLE INKS
These inks print an image that is invisible to the eye under normal lighting conditions and glows when the print is placed under a black lamp. These inks are typically used for security or anti-counterfeiting applications.
IRIDESCENT LAMINATE
A laminate with iridescent properties. It has a shiny, pearl-like effect with changes in color when the angle of view or illumination is changed. Iridescent laminates can enhance the overall desired look of a label.
IRRADIATION
Treated with ultra-violet light or another high energy ray.
IR-SCANNABLE
Capable of being read by an infrared scanner.
ISO 9001
A global quality management standard that involves making improvements across a wide range of business processes. Activities can be managed as a process, with each activity adding value to the last, all ultimately leading to customer satisfaction. ISO 9001 certification demonstrates a converters commitment to quality and for many printing buyers it has become the expected standard. Coast Label companys quality management system is certified under the ISO 9001:2008 standard.
ISO
The International Organization of Standards (ISO) is a non-governmental organization which occupies a special position between the public and private sectors, developing worldwide technical standards and providing a consensus on solutions that meet both the requirements of the business and the broader needs of society. The ISO issues the ISO 9001:2008 quality standard, as well as more than 14,000 international standards for business and government.
J
JIG
Device used to assist the correct placement of a semi-automatically applied pressure sensitive label. Usually it is made to fit the shape of the product being labeled.
K
KEY-LINE
An outline drawing used in artwork for labels to indicate the exact shape, position, and size for elements such as halftones, line sketches text, among others.
KISS CUT
A die-cutting operation which cuts through the face stock and adhesive to a release liner, but not through the liner. A proper kiss-cut will leave a depression in the surface of the release liner without penetrating the silicone release coating.
KISS IMPRESSION
The lightest possible impression which will transfer the film of ink from the transfer roll to the plate and from the plate to the material being printed.
KNIFE CUT LABELS
See butt cut labels.
KNOCK-OUT
In color printing, the process of dropping an image out of the color such as dropping white type out of a color background. Often called reverse printing.
KRAFT
An unbleached, brown wood pulp made by the sulfate paper-making process. Kraft labels are often used to add information or make printing corrections on brown corrugated packaging or for specific applications where kraft paper is selected for its unique look and feel.
KROMEKOTE
A trademark of a clay coated paper with a highly polished, mirror-like finish; high gloss.
