For decades, the default assumption has been: a label must have a sticky back. But for thousands of applications—shipping tags, packing slips, warehouse bin labels, temporary ID badges, and hang tags—permanent adhesive is overkill.
“We analyzed our label usage across 12 warehouses. 40% of our adhesive labels could be replaced with non-adhesive tags, saving us $340k annually.” — Supply Chain Director, Fortune 500 Retailer.

Non-adhesive labels are tag stock without a pressure-sensitive adhesive back. They rely on friction, staples, tape, or hanging holes for attachment. Common formats include direct thermal tags, matte paper sheets, and synthetic tear-resistant stock. They are ideal for applications where permanent adhesion is not required.
Yes, our matte and glossy coated non-adhesive paper is specifically engineered for high-speed laser printers (HP, Canon, Ricoh, Xerox) and digital presses (HP Indigo). They are designed to withstand fuser temperatures without curling or jamming.
We stock common sizes like 4"x6", 4"x2", and 8.5"x11". However, our OEM/ODM service means we can produce virtually any dimension, with custom perforations, hole punches, and slit patterns. MOQs as low as 10,000 pieces for custom sizes.
Absolutely. We offer complete OEM packaging: custom inner cores, polybag branding, master carton labels, and even pre-printed logos on the label stock itself. Many of our North American distributor partners rely on Kingcolor for their private label programs.
Our ISO 9001:2015 system mandates in-process checks for coating weight, moisture content, and surface smoothness. Every roll is visually inspected. We retain a batch archive for every production run for traceability.
For standard non-adhesive stock (direct thermal, plain paper), production takes 7–10 working days. Sea freight to US West Coast takes approximately 12–15 days. We offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms, so there are no surprises on shipping costs or customs clearance.
Standard adhesive labels include a heavy silicone liner and adhesive coating. Non-adhesive labels remove this weight. For a container of 500,000 4"x6" labels, switching to non-adhesive saves approximately 150–200 kg in total shipment weight, directly reducing freight charges.
