You have finally printed your customized labels or stickers, it is time to apply them on your products!
Possibly your organization has quite recently begun and you don't have the chance to apply your labels with machinery.

Today we will see, in certain means, how many options we have to apply them by hand without issues.

First of all You need to be sure that your product's bottles, jars and other container is free of dust, condense, fingerprints and other kinds of dirt.
To defeat this issue, it is important to pass a microfibre material with isopropyl alcohol over the surface. Once the surface is dry you can continue to apply your labels.

Now we'll see some different methods to apply your labels manually.

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

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 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.
