Hi All.
We often design and print "clear" labels for bottles, jars, tubes, etc. We print on a sheet-fed press on 2-mil adhesive polyethylene material. When we place the labels on the bottles we still see a light haze on the clear areas no matter how hard we burnish them down. An off-the-shelf product, on the other hand, has an almost completely invisible label. (I'm fairly certain they use some sort of heat process to get those suckers on.) Someone once suggested we use a touch of Windex on the bottle prior to labeling. This actually did give us a clear label, however, it killed the adhesion.
Does anyone have any ideas how to better get these labels on so that we won't see any haze?
Thank You
