The Most Durable Labels on the Planet
We've been making industrial identification labels since 1980. In that time we've developed a clear view of what makes a label genuinely durable — and it isn't marketing language.
Substrate matters. Adhesive matters. Print method matters. Our most durable labels combine all three correctly for your specific application — and we guarantee them for five years.
Three Variables, All of Them Matter
Substrate
The face material must resist the mechanical and chemical conditions of the application. Polyester for general industrial use. Polycarbonate for chemical immersion. Metallic for permanent marking and high-temperature. Paper fails in all industrial environments.
Adhesive
The wrong adhesive is the most common cause of label failure. High-tack acrylic for most industrial surfaces. Rubber-based for low-surface-energy plastics. Cryogenic-rated for cold storage. Solvent-resistant for chemical plant. We specify the adhesive after understanding your surface.
Print method
Screen printing deposits 3–5× more ink than digital printing. The result is print that resists abrasion for years rather than months. UV-cured inks on our screen presses are rated for 5-year outdoor exposure. We use digital print only where screen print is not appropriate.
Performance Data
What We Guarantee
Our 5-year non-fade guarantee covers screen-printed labels on polyester, polycarbonate and metallic substrates used in the application they were specified for. If the print fades, the adhesive fails or the substrate degrades within five years of manufacture, we replace the labels at no charge.
- 5-year non-fade guarantee on screen-printed labels
- Adhesive failure replacement within the guarantee period
- Substrate degradation covered — not just print
- Applies to labels used in the specified application
- Applies to the original buyer — transferable on request
