Letterpress Label adhesives
I am currently looking at possibilities for sticking letterpress labels onto glass jars for a clients product. I have 110g cotton paper which the client likes which is ideal for the printing job. However, the problem we are having is the application of the label to the jar. A very nice quality paper or cotton-feel paper with an adhesive backing would be the answer, but I have never heard of such a thing.
Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how we could stick the labels onto the jar or if it exists… a supplier for a lovely paper with adhesive backing which would just be printed and stuck on simply onto the glass without the mess. There are 1000 jars and each has to have a string tied to it to seal the jar and the budget won’t stretch to something which is too time consuming.
I look forward to hearing your advice and suggestions,
Nick
If you can navigate the back Posts/Archives, on B.P. ? about 6 to 8 months since there was big discussion, with many possibilities & alternative,s about this very subject, including references from tiny home bottling operations, up to mass production factory/automatic bottling, labeling lines. !!!
If you can access the back posts, Good Luck.

Thanks Mick and Ted, Strathmore sounds good, I will see if I can find it.
I used Strathmore label for any packaging job that comes in. There’s just nothing else readily available. I’ve had custom adhesive added to wine label papers, but the cost is quite a bit. Strathmore is available through Mohawk directly – mohawkconnects.com – or I’m sure there are some other sites as well.
