EDGE LIFT
The tendency of the edge of a label to rise off the substrate. This
condition occurs most frequently on small diameter, curved substrates.
Resistance to edge lift depends on the bond strength of the adhesive
and the flexibility of the face material.
EDP/ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESS
Data processing by electronic equipment. Pressure
sensitive labels produced for imprinting on EDP equipment incorporate
in-line hole punching.
ELECTROSTATIC PRINTING
A method of printing in which the ink is affixed
to the face material by electrostatic methods.
ELMENDORF TEST
A standard test for determining the tearing strength
of paper.
EMBOSS/EMBOSSING
A condition in which an image is pressed into a
material to create an image that is raised above the normal level
of the material. Debossing creates the opposite effect.
EMULSION SYSTEM
A dispersion of fine particles or globules in another
liquid. Many pressure sensitive adhesives are emulsion system adhesives.
EXPOSURE TEMPERATURE
The temperature to which a label product is exposed.
