Selecting the correct label roll is essential for smooth production and professional results. The wrong choice can lead to poor adhesion, machine downtime, or label failure during brewing.
We offer label rolls for two main tea bag types. Each type has specific requirements for material and equipment.
1. For Traditional Filter Paper Tea Bags
These label rolls are designed for standard filter paper tea bag machines. They work well with conventional heat-sealing equipment.
**Best for:** Flat or pillow-style tea bags made from filter paper.
**Key advantage:** Compatible with most standard tea bag packaging lines without modification.
2. For Pyramid Tea Bags – Two Material Options
Pyramid tea bags are made from either PLA (corn fiber) or PA (nylon). The label roll must match the tea bag material – not only for adhesion but also to maintain the integrity of the packaging.
- For **PLA (corn fiber)** tea bags, use **PLA label rolls with PLA film lamination**.
- For **PA (nylon)** tea bags, use **PA label rolls with PA film lamination**.
Why matching matters:
The label roll uses the same type of film as the tea bag itself. This ensures the label bonds properly and supports the eco-friendly or performance characteristics of the tea bag.
Important – Equipment Compatibility
Label rolls for pyramid tea bags are designed specifically for ultrasonic labeling machines. They are not compatible with traditional heat-sealing label applicators.
If you are using PLA or PA pyramid tea bags, please make sure your labeling equipment uses ultrasonic technology.
Summary – Quick Selection Guide
Traditional filter paper tea bags, work with standard label rolls on standard tea bag machines.
PLA pyramid tea bags and PA nylon pyramid tea bags require on ultrasonic automatic labeling machine.
Choosing the right label roll helps you avoid production delays and ensures your tea bags look professional from the packaging line to the customer's cup.
