Brian's Quote of the Month

|
"...As I have
written in the past, many raw material components in our industry are
in short supply. I understand having to put customers on allocation
or raising prices; those are rationale responses to a business
problem. Calling a customer and telling them you will no longer sell
to them is a short-sighted decision that might backfire....."

A Quick Lesson on Durable
Labeling
 What are durable labels? Durable labels are labels
that are designed to last the life of the product that they are
applied to. These labels may have to withstand extreme hot or cold
temperatures, chemicals, grease, moisture, or UV rays. Because of the
requirement for durability, they have to be made from specific
materials that are built to last when exposed to these harsh
environments.
The most common
materials used for durable labeling are films. Films are man-made
polymers that offer more durability and flexibility than their paper
counterpart. When choosing a film, you can separate them by their
resistances to different environments. Polyester may be the best
all-around choice for durable labeling because of its high
temperature, chemical, and UV/outdoor resistance. However, vinyl
offers excellent chemical resistance and is the most commonly used
film for drum labeling. For applications that require tensile and
tear resistance, polypropylene may be the best option.
When working with
your customer, you may not know the specific environment that the
label will need to withstand or if a durable label is required. As a
general rule, durable labels are needed for industrial and commercial
products such as industrial components, automotive parts, tools,
electronics, and appliances. Contact I.D. Images for your next
durable label opportunity or for more information on films and
durable labeling.

Free Freight on UL-Certified
Labels and Polypropylene
I.D. Images offers
three stock products that are designed specifically for durable
labeling. Our 3x1 and 2x1 polyester UL-certified labels are designed
for consumer durables including electronics, computers, and indoor
and outdoor appliances. These labels require a high performance resin
ribbon.
Our third stock
product designed for durable labeling is our 4x6 polypropylene.
Polypropylene is designed for UV/outdoor resistance and works well
for most long-term outdoor application such as horticulture labeling.
