Aluminum labels are great for use in extreme conditions.  Aluminum is a soft metal and will bend easily.  Bent aluminum labels will retain the shape of the bend an may not lie flat when adhered to a surface.  Here are some tips on how to remove aluminum labels from a liner without bending the label.

Here’s a short video that shows you how to remove aluminum labels from a liner without bending the label.

• Make sure hands are clean

• Make sure the surface is clean

• The adhesive is very aggressive so the positioning needs to be exact when applying. Repositioning labels that have already been attached to a surface will bend the aluminum.

• Peel LINER away from labels,  do not peel labels “up” from liner. (video)  The aluminum is soft and will bend up.
