In the context of the rapid iteration of the electronic and electrical industry and the continuous improvement of product safety and traceability requirements, electronic electrical labels have become an indispensable part of the entire life cycle of product production, circulation, and use. Compared with ordinary labels, electronic electrical labels possess unique performance advantages and undertake key functions such as information transmission, safety warnings, and traceability management, directly impacting product compliance, usage safety, and corporate brand image.
The core performance of electronic electrical labels is concentrated in durability and scene adaptability. Among them, resistance to friction and durability are basic requirements. As electronic electrical products go through multiple handling, friction, and environmental changes from production offline, storage transportation to terminal use, the label information needs to remain clear and identifiable throughout the product's entire life cycle, without any issues such as blurring, detachment, or fading. These long-term retained information mainly include product identification information, serial numbers, warnings and safety instructions, as well as variable information achieved through heat transfer printing technology, ensuring product traceability, accountability, and user safety.
In addition to basic resistance to friction and durability, different application scenarios have specific requirements for labels. Among them, the special nature of battery labels is the most prominent. Batteries are the core power components of electronic electrical products, generating heat during operation, and are often installed in small and irregular spaces. Therefore, battery labels need to simultaneously meet high-temperature resistance and adhesion requirements, being able to withstand the high-temperature environment of battery operation without damage and closely adhering to the battery surface without warping or detachment, ensuring the complete and visible label information.
The application of electronic electrical labels is not only a basic requirement for product compliance, but also an important means for enterprises to achieve refined management and enhance product competitiveness. From the production end, the serial numbers and variable information on the labels can achieve the traceability of the production process, facilitating enterprises in controlling production quality and identifying production hazards; from the circulation end, the label information can help with efficient sorting and inventory in the storage and logistics processes, improving circulation efficiency; from the end-user perspective, warning and safety instructions can guide users to use the product correctly, avoiding safety risks, while the identification information and serial numbers provide important basis for product after-sales maintenance and quality assurance. With the standardized development of the electronic and electrical industry, the role of labels has extended from simple information identification to various aspects of product life cycle management.
Based on the diversified needs of the electronic and electrical industry, the uses of labels show diverse characteristics. By combining application scenarios and functional differences, they are mainly divided into five series: battery labels, nameplate labels, tracking labels, warning labels, and information labels. Each series of labels has a clear positioning and specific purpose, covering all scenarios of electronic electrical products.
Battery labels are dedicated labels specifically designed for various electronic electrical batteries, widely used in lithium batteries, batteries, button batteries, and other battery products, covering mobile phones, computers, household appliances, and new energy equipment, etc. Their core requirement is high-temperature resistance and adhesion, while also needing basic resistance to friction and durability to ensure that the label information does not detach or become blurred during charging, discharging, and use of the battery.
The information content of battery labels mainly includes battery model, capacity, voltage, production date, shelf life, as well as safety warning information (such as "Prohibit short circuit" "Prohibit high temperature"), and some high-end battery labels will print unique serial numbers through heat transfer printing technology to achieve traceability management of battery products. Due to the irregular shapes of batteries and the high working environment temperature, the battery labels need to use flexible and high-temperature-resistant self-adhesive materials to ensure a tight fit with the battery surface and be able to withstand temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 150℃ or even higher, meeting the usage requirements of different types of batteries.
The label is the most basic and core type of label for electronic and electrical products, equivalent to the "ID card" of the product. It is widely used in various electronic and electrical complete machines and core components, such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, circuit boards, etc. The core function of the label is to display the core information of the product, ensuring that the information is clear and not easily worn out throughout the product's life cycle.
The information content of the label is relatively fixed, mainly including product name, model, specification, manufacturer, production date, serial number, and applicable standards, and some products' labels may also mark product parameters and certification marks (such as CE, UL, etc.), ensuring that the product complies with industry norms and market access requirements. These information needs to be presented through a friction-resistant and color-fast printing process to ensure that users can clearly consult the information throughout the product's life cycle.
The label is mostly pasted on the prominent position of the product, and needs to be exposed to the air for a long time. Some products may also face friction, collision, etc., so the label's resistance to friction and durability are extremely high. At the same time, the label needs to have a certain degree of aesthetics, matching the product's appearance, and enhancing the overall texture of the product. Therefore, the selection of the self-adhesive material of the label not only needs to meet the durability requirements, but also needs to take into account the appearance effect.
The tracking label is mainly used for the production, storage, logistics, and after-sales traceability of electronic and electrical products. Its core function is to record the product's circulation trajectory through variable information, facilitating enterprises and users to query product information and achieve refined management and quality control. The application of tracking labels effectively solves the problem of multiple circulation links and difficult traceability in electronic and electrical products, improving industry management efficiency.
The core feature of the tracking label is to contain a large amount of variable information. These information is printed through heat transfer die-cutting technology, and each label corresponds to a unique code (such as serial number, QR code, barcode, etc.), achieving "one item, one code" traceability. Its application scenarios cover process traceability in the production workshop, inventory management in the storage环节， path tracking in the logistics环节， and repair record query in the after-sales环节， ensuring that every link of the product from production to scrapping can be traced and controlled.
The warning label is mainly used to convey safety warning information of electronic and electrical products， avoiding safety risks during user use， and is widely used in various electronic and electrical products and components with potential safety hazards， such as high-voltage electrical appliances， heating equipment， batteries， circuit boards， etc. The core requirement of the warning label is to be eye-catching， clear， and durable， ensuring that users can quickly identify the safety warning information when using the product and operate in a standardized manner.
The information content of the warning label mainly includes safety warning phrases (such as "High Voltage Danger"， "Do Not Touch"， "Do Not Disassemble"， etc.)， warning icons， and some warning labels may also mark emergency handling methods to guide users to correctly respond in case of abnormal situations. Since the warning label directly relates to the user's safety， its information must have extremely high durability， even after long-term use， friction， and environmental changes， it must not become blurred or fall off， therefore， the resistance to friction and color-fastness of the self-adhesive material is strictly required.
The information label serves as a supplement to the nameplate label and warning label, mainly used to display auxiliary information of electronic and electrical products, covering usage instructions, after-sales contact information, product features, precautions, etc. It is widely applied on the packaging, body or components of various electronic and electrical products. The content of the information label is relatively flexible and can be adjusted according to product requirements. The core requirement is clear information and easy access, while also having basic durability.
Compared with other types of labels, the requirements for information labels regarding friction resistance and high-temperature resistance are relatively lower, but it is necessary to ensure that the information does not fall off or become blurred during the product's normal usage period. Some information labels also adopt heat transfer printing technology to print variable information (such as batch numbers, after-sales phone numbers, etc.), enhancing the flexibility and practicality of the information.
The performance of electronic and electrical labels is inseparable from the rational selection of adhesive label materials. Based on the usage and performance requirements of different series of labels, targeted selection of compatible adhesive label materials is necessary to ensure that the labels can meet the needs of the usage scenarios and achieve long-term information transmission. Adhesive label materials mainly consist of face material, adhesive, and base paper. The selection of face material and adhesive directly determines the core performance of the label, such as durability, high-temperature resistance, and adhesion.
The core requirement of the battery label is high-temperature resistance and adhesion. Therefore, the face material is preferably selected from materials such as polyimide (PI) and flame-retardant PET, which can withstand temperatures above 200°C and have good flexibility, able to closely adhere to the irregular surface of the battery without peeling or falling off. The adhesive is selected from high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive to ensure that the label and the battery surface do not affect the adhesion strength in high-temperature environments, while also having good chemical resistance and resistance to battery electrolyte corrosion.
The nameplate label needs to have extremely strong anti-friction and durability. The face material is preferably selected from materials such as polyester (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which are tough, resistant to friction, and resistant to fading, able to maintain clear information for a long time and have a certain degree of aesthetics, matching the product appearance. The adhesive is selected from high-sticky pressure-sensitive adhesive to ensure that the label can be firmly adhered to the product surface, not falling off, and has good weather resistance, able to adapt to different environmental temperatures and humidity.
Tracking labels require variable information printing, so the face material is preferably selected from materials suitable for heat transfer printing, such as copperplate paper, synthetic paper, PET, etc., ensuring clear and non-fuzzy variable information printing, while also having basic adhesion resistance; Warning labels need to be eye-catching, the face material can choose PET or PVC materials in bright colors such as red and yellow, the adhesive is selected from high-sticky pressure-sensitive adhesive, ensuring the label is firmly adhered; Information labels can choose copperplate paper, synthetic paper, etc. based on the usage scenario, balancing practicality and economy, the adhesive is selected from ordinary pressure-sensitive adhesive to meet the basic bonding requirements.
The selection of adhesive label materials for electronic and electrical products is centered on "scene compatibility", that is, based on the usage scenario and performance requirements of the labels, combined with the characteristics of the materials, selecting the most suitable material combination. First, it is necessary to clearly define the core performance requirements of the labels, such as high-temperature resistance, anti-friction, adhesion, etc., and select the face material and adhesive based on these requirements; Secondly, it is necessary to consider the usage environment of the product, such as temperature, humidity, whether it is in contact with chemical substances, etc., to ensure that the materials can adapt to the environmental requirements; Finally, it is necessary to consider economic and practicality, choosing cost-effective materials while meeting the performance requirements, reducing production costs for enterprises. 4. Conclusion
With the continuous development of the electronic and electrical industry, the requirements for product compliance, safety and traceability have been constantly increasing. The role of electronic and electrical labels has become increasingly prominent. The five series of labels including battery labels, nameplate labels, tracking labels, warning labels and information labels cover all scenarios of electronic and electrical products. The rational selection of self-adhesive materials is the key to ensuring the performance of the labels. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology, electronic and electrical labels will develop in the direction of greater durability, intelligence and environmental friendliness.
