For purchasing managers and operations directors in the USA: stop wasting thousands on delamination, residue, and reprints. Master permanent, removable, and specialty label adhesives—and get a reliable supply partner with 30+ years of manufacturing expertise.
Trusted by logistics, retail, and pharmaceutical companies across North America | ISO 9001 · CE · RoHS
You've had shipments returned because barcode labels fell off in transit. The cost of re-labeling and customer dissatisfaction is quietly eating your margin.
Removable labels leaving sticky mess on glass, plastic, or metal? Your customers complain, and your brand reputation suffers.
Warehouse at -10°C? Delivery truck under 50°C sun? Standard adhesives fail, and you're left with unreadable labels.
With permanent, removable, ultra-removable, freezer-grade, and more—one wrong choice wastes time, materials, and trust.
Your current supplier misses deadlines, ships inconsistent rolls, and offers zero technical support. You need a partner, not just a vendor.
High freight rates and slow delivery from distant suppliers hurt your cash flow. You need a factory that combines quality with fast, affordable shipping to the US.
👉 You don't have to guess. Let's match the perfect adhesive to your application.

Straight answers from our engineering and sales team. Based on real questions from US purchasing managers.
Permanent adhesive is designed to bond strongly and not release cleanly. It has high peel adhesion (12–16 N/25mm) and shear strength, making it ideal for asset tags, shipping labels, and barcode labels that need to stay intact. Removable adhesive has lower peel adhesion (3–6 N/25mm) and is formulated to release cleanly without residue, even after months or years. Choose removable for retail price tags, promotional labels, or temporary warnings.
Freezer-grade adhesive is specifically designed for cold environments. It maintains strong adhesion at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F). Key features: moisture-resistant, applies well to frosted surfaces, and stays flexible in cold. We recommend our Freezer-Grade series for frozen food, cold chain logistics, and lab samples. Always test with your specific substrate—some plastics become brittle at low temperatures.
Yes, absolutely. We offer custom adhesive formulation based on your substrate material, surface energy, application temperature, and desired removal properties. Our in-house lab (ISO 9001) can adjust tack level, peel strength, shear resistance, and color. Minimum order quantity for custom formulation: 500 rolls. Typical turnaround: 10–15 business days from formula approval.
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 rolls per size for stock adhesive types (permanent, removable, universal). For custom adhesives or specialty face stocks, MOQ is 500 rolls per SKU. We also offer a "Sample Pack" (20 rolls of 5 different adhesive types) for USD 99 shipped via FedEx—so you can test before committing to bulk.
Sea freight (20ft or 40ft container): 18–25 days from Shenzhen to Los Angeles, New York, or Houston. Air freight: 3–5 days (DDP service available). Express courier (FedEx/DHL for small orders): 5–7 days. We manage all export documentation and can provide ISF filing support for smooth US customs clearance.
Yes. We provide full OEM/ODM services: custom face stock, adhesive type, liner specification, core size (1", 3"), printing (up to 4-color flexo), and packaging (retail-ready boxes, shrink wrap, pallet labeling). We serve several US distributors who sell our labels under their own brand. MOQ for OEM: 2,000 rolls per design.
Tack level depends on three factors: (1) Substrate surface energy – low-surface-energy plastics (PE, PP, PS) need higher tack; (2) Application temperature – applying in cold conditions requires higher initial tack; (3) Label duration – temporary (days) vs permanent (years). Use this quick rule: high tack for plastics and cold, medium tack for paper and room temp, low tack for removable applications. We provide a free substrate testing kit to eliminate guesswork.
We accept TT (wire transfer), L/C at sight (for large orders), and PayPal (for sample orders up to USD 500). For first-time US clients, we typically require 30% deposit and 70% balance before shipment (or L/C). For repeat clients with good payment history, we can offer 30–60 day net terms (based on credit assessment).

"We produce 50,000 labels a week for logistics clients. Kingcolor's permanent acrylic adhesive is the most consistent we've used. No delamination, no edge lifting. After 18 months, we've standardized on their universal multi-surface adhesive for 90% of our orders."
"We source freezer-grade labels for our frozen seafood line. Kingcolor's product survived our entire cold chain audit at -30°C without a single failure. Their customer service is excellent—fast responses and they actually understand adhesive chemistry."
