About 3M Adhesives for Press Printable Labels
3M™ Press Printable Label Materials feature a range of our specially-formulated adhesives for just the right balance of adhesion and removability. Adhesives include:

3M™ Adhesive 350 is a modified acrylic adhesive ideal for applications requiring high shear strength even on low surface energy materials, powder coatings or slightly oily metals.
3M™ Adhesive 310 resists oozing and provides high bond strength on a variety of surfaces, ideal for smaller label printing applications. Its firmness is compatible with thermal transfer and laser technologies.
3M™ Adhesive P1212 is a high-clarity emulsion, ideal for use on overlamination and decorative films. It adheres well to painted metal (except powder coats), plastics such as polystyrene and ABS, galvanized and stainless steel, aluminum and even glass.
3M™ Permanent Tackified Acrylic Adhesive P1410 provides high tack and excellent adhesion to substrates, including polyolefins. It features a neutral pH to help prevent corrosion between the label and the surface or container. It is ideal for flexographic printing technologies.
3M™ High Performance Permanent Tackified Acrylic Adhesive P1480 is formulated for acid resistance and adhesion to polyolefins, and meets the demanding requirements of most battery label specifications.
3M™ Permanent Rubber-based Adhesive P1110 is designed for labeling tires when used with tire wash. It is a general-purpose rubber-based adhesive that is excellent for use on rubber as well as textured plastics, UV-coated corrugated and metal such as aluminum.
3M™ High Temperature Acrylic Adhesive 100 is designed for exceptional shear values at elevated temperatures, and can withstand exposure to 450°F (232°C) for short periods.
3M™ High Performance Permanent Tackified Acrylic Adhesive P1650 is designed to meet difficult automotive underhood specifications It delivers excellent thermal stability and resists many automotive and industrial fluids.
3M™ Freezer Grade Acrylic Adhesive F2201 offers high initial tack, good clarity, and adhesion when applied at temperatures as low as 0°F (-18°C).
