The Squeegee technique

The Squeegee technique

With this technique you will require the help of a hand-held object called squeegee. Start by removing the label from the backing substrate and applying it from one side to the container. The straight edge will let you apply uniform weight on the label so that it will be applied homogeneously and no air bubbles will stay underneath.

Center First

Center First

With this technique you should begin by first applying the focal piece of the label on the container. Press the label in the center gently and stick it to the container by pressing solidly in the middle with your thumbs. When the center piece of the label is solidly fixed, slide your thumbs to one side and left individually, in that way you will release the air and avoid creating bubbles. Proceed until the label has been applied completely. 

The Fingerless method

The "Fingerless" Method

The "Fingerless" Method is an incredible alternative for any kind of label, especially if you have clear labels since you will not touch with your fingers the backing glue. Utilizing this strategy, you can ensure your adhesive label is arranged effectively by stripping just one edge away from the support paper and sticking it to your container. When you have the label's edge set up, strip off the support paper and press the sticker down.
