L.I.F.E.® Certification 
A program developed by the Tag & Label Manufacturers Association specifically for Tag & Label companies. Patterned after ISO 14001, it addresses the unique environmental, safety, and sustainability issues that face the label converting industry including: the recycle-compatibility of adhesives; the source and destination of liner materials and how label companies are driving recycling programs for these materials; and material construction light-weighting (adopting thinner constructions that generate less waste). L.I.F.E® is an audited certification process and Coast Label Company is one of the few label companies in North America to achieve this certification for our facility.

LABEL STOCK
Pressure-sensitive laminate material from which labels are produced. It consists of a face stock, an adhesive and a release liner. Usually refers to roll stock.

LABEL
The functional portion of a pressure sensitive construction comprising the face material and adhesive, die cut into various shapes.

LABELING MACHINE
A machine that dispenses a self-adhesive label and applies it to a container, pack or product. Label machines vary in size and function. The orientation of the label off the roll is important when a label will be applied with a labeling machine.

LACQUER
A clear protective coating, usually glossy, applied to a printed web in-line on a label press just prior to die-cutting.

LADDER

See matrix.

LAMINANT
An adhesive for combining and bonding a combination of films, foils, plastics, papers or other materials. Pressure sensitive constructions are often call laminates.

LAMINATED FOILS 

See foil.

LAMINATING ADHESIVE
An adhesive used for laminating transparent films onto printed surfaces. Images are printed on a clear label in mirror image and then a laminating adhesive is laminated with the ink and face stock. The image can then be read through the clear label and the ink is thoroughly protected.

LAMINATION
A plastic film bonded by heat, adhesive and/or pressure to a printed web for protection or appearance. Two or more materials bonded together functioning as one.

LASER MATERIAL
Paper or film face stock or label stock that is manufactured to feed through laser printers without jamming and accept laser printing. Laser materials are typically converted into 8.5 x 11 sheets, which most laser printers accept.

LASER PAPER
Paper suitable to accept laser printing.

LASER PRINTING
A method of printing which utilizes a laser beam and dry toner to image onto a substrate. Usually the surface of the substrate must have specific characteristics for successful toner anchorage.

LASER SCANNER 

An optical reading device using a low energy laser light beam as its source of illumination.

LATEX
An emulsion of rubber or resin particles dispersed in an aqueous medium. A natural or synthetic elastomeric dispersion in an aqueous system.

LATEX PAPER
Paper manufactured by two major processes; one is where the latex is incorporated with the fibers in the beater prior to formation of the sheet, and the other is where a preformed web of absorbent fiber is saturated with properly compounded latex. The papers are characterized by strength, folding endurance, resistance to penetration by water, flexibility, durability and resistance to abrasion. Latex paper labels are often used in the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

LAY FLAT 

A label material with good non-curling characteristics make it suitable for any form of printing or processing where a flat sheet is required. Laser materials are made with lay flat liners so the sheets do not curl after manufacturing.

LEAN MANUFACTURING
Lean manufacturing, lean enterprise, or lean production, often simply, “lean,” is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Working from the perspective of the customer who consumes a product or service, “value” is defined as any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for. Coast Label Associates have been trained in and practices lean manufacturing.

LEXAN
Lexan® is a registered trademark for SABIC Innovative Plastics (formerly General Electric Plastics polycarbonate film). Lexan is a highly durable material and is suitable for outdoor applications, nameplates and overlays.

LIFTING
An undesirable outcome where a label exhibits some degree of lifting from the applied surface.

LIGHT PEN
A hand-held scanning wand which is used as a contact bar code reader.

LIGHT-FAST INKS
Used for outdoor and other applications where the printed image is exposed to daylight or fluorescent light and may fade.

LINE AND SCREEN
Any reproduction of line and single or multiple screen work not utilizing the combination of the three primary colors. Any number of colors can be utilized.

LINE HOLE PUNCHING
See feed slots.

LINER
The carrier sheet, as opposed to the face, of material in a pressure sensitive lamination. It usually has a release coating applied so the adhesive will adequately stick to the backing.

LITHOGRAPHIC PAPER
A paper coated on at least one side, suitably prepared for lithographic printing. Sometimes it is simply abbreviated as litho.

LOGISTICS LABELS
Labels on transit packaging that are used to help move goods around, track, and trace their movement in the supply chain and ensure they reach the correct destination. These labels are printed with variable text and unique numerical or bar code symbols using thermal, laser or inkjet imprintable labels.

LOSS OF TACK
The adhesive loses its adhesion properties and does not grab as well as it should.

LUMINESCENT PIGMENTS
Special pigments available to produce striking effects in the dark. Basically there are two types; one is activated by ultra-violet radiation, producing very strong luminescence. The second is known as phosphorescent pigments, it does not require any separate source of radiation.
