Label construction: A pressure-sensitive label has three layers: Facestock (the printed surface — paper, BOPP film, BOPET, or foil), Adhesive (pressure-sensitive), and Release liner (silicone-coated paper or film protecting adhesive until application). All three are typically supplied as an integrated "label stock" by the material manufacturer.
