Quality Labeling

Achieving quality labeling--meaning labels that stay stuck and remain legible--involves more than just priting a label with the highest quality supplies you can purchase. While the quality of the labeling supplies you use is important, matching the right materials to the application is critical. For example, if you asre applying labels on curved surfaces, 2.0 mil vinyl will work better than 3.2 mil vinyl. While the 3.2 mil vinyl is a heavier duty material, and thus seemingly better quality, because of its stiffness labels made with 3.2 mil vinyl will not stay stuck on curved surfaces as well as labels made with 2.0 mil vinyl.

Choosing the right material for the job is just as important as using quality labeling supplies. A new article by Steve Hudgik discusses some of the criteria to take into consideration when selecting labeling materials. It's called, Selecting The Proper Labeling Material and Printer.
