Release liners are materials that function as a carrier for the pressure sensitive label stock and are generally made of plastic or paper. The pressure sensitive label stocks are designed to offer a specific adhesive performance, which is dependent on the choice of release liners. Almost all of the release liners have a coating of a silicon layer. The release liners must have consistent contact with the product until it is deliberately removed; besides, it should be smoothly and clearly removed from the adhesive. The release liners should resist the change in chemical properties of the adhesives and should not contaminate the adhesives. It should be able to resist the force applied during die cutting while withstanding the speed and rigor of the process.
