How To Apply Self-Adhesive Metal Labels

Follow these easy instructions to get the best results with your labels.

Step 1

Prepare The Surface

Clean the area where the sticker will be applied.

Ensure it’s :
• Free of dust
• Free of grease or moisture
• Smooth and completely dry

Pro tip: A clean surface = stronger bond

Step 2

Ensure Room Temperature

Make sure the environment is between 18-25°C.

Avoid extremes:
• Too cold (e.g., jars just out of the fridge)
• Too hot (e.g., post-sterilized surfaces)

Let cold items warm to room temperature before applying.

Step 3

Remove The Backing

Carefully peel off the backing paper.

• Hold the sticker by its edges
• Avoid touching the adhesive side to maintain its stickiness!

Step 4

Position The Sticker

Place the sticker gently onto the surface.

• Slight repositioning is okay
• The label cannot be repositioned once applied, as removing it may cause damage

Step 5

Press & Smooth Out

Application should be done by pressing from one side to the other, not from the center.

• Smooth out air bubbles
• Use fingers or a soft cloth

This ensures maximum contact and long-lasting stick.

DONE

With proper prep and care, your Schildinc metal label will stay put and look amazing for years to come.
