Durable Labels:
Rigorous Quality and Durability Standards
Optimum performance even in critical environmental conditions
Durable Labels:
Durable labels play a crucial role, going well beyond the simple product identification function: they are designed to withstand critical factors (extreme temperatures, exposure to chemicals, abrasion, UV radiation, mechanical stresses), and at the same time guarantee traceability and security for the entire lifespan of the product they are applied on.
The Different Types of Durable Labels
Durable labels are developed with cutting-edge materials and technologies to offer tailor-made solutions in different fields of application, meeting rigorous quality and durability standards.
When choosing the type of durable label, it is essential to take a range of variables into account:
- Commercial sector: every sector has specific label durability and strength requirements.
- Environmental conditions: assess the environmental conditions to which the label will be exposed, such as moisture, extreme temperatures, or exposure to chemical substances.
- Required lifespan: determine the period of time for which the label must maintain its integrity and legibility.
- Application material: the type of material on which the label will be applied, such as metal, plastic, or fabric.
- Handling method: consider the environment in which the product will be stored and transported, as well as the wear the label will be subjected to.
- Print techniques: choose the print technique best suited to ensuring maximum durability and legibility of the label.
It is possible to select cutting-edge materials and technologies in order to offer tailor-made solutions on the basis of the product type and context of use, meeting strict quality and strength standards.
Medical Applications
We create labels for vials and test tubes, designed to adhere to small surface areas and to withstand typical laboratory conditions (exposure to chemicals and temperature changes); labels for blood bags, which guarantee legibility of the information and adherence to the material they are made from; cryogenic labels, which withstand the extremely low temperatures typical of conditions in which biological samples and pharmaceuticals must be stored or transported; hanger labels, designed with material providing extreme resistance to tears and used to support bottles for transfusions, IVs and injections.
Resistance to Environmental Factors
We produce labels which withstand the high temperatures typical of motors, electronic equipment and industrial processes; fireproof labels, which are resistant to fire or slow its spread and which are used in high-risk environments (for example the electrical industry); solar resistant labels, which maintain legibility and adherence despite prolonged exposure to UV rays; greaseproof labels, which are resistant to oils, greases and other contaminants typical of the mechanical or food industry; labels for the cold chain, designed to monitor and maintain the integrity of products requiring a continuous cold chain, such as foods, drugs and chemicals.
Product Security and Conformity
We offer BS5609 compliant labels, which meet the requirements of the specific certification for maritime transport, guaranteeing resistance to salt water, UV rays and abrasion; UL tested labels, for electrical and electronic products; TTI (Time Temperature Indicator) labels, which provide visual indications if the product has been exposed to temperatures outside a safe range, a crucial aspect for foods and pharmaceuticals.
Special Formats and Functions
We produce thermochromic labels, which change colour on the basis of the temperature and which are useful for indicating exposure to specific thermal conditions; overprintable labels, designed to be printed or re-labelled on site, for variable information such as dates, batches or codes; labels for large and small format surfaces, which can be adapted to different shapes and dimensions in numerous fields of application.
