Selecting The Right Labeling Material

Have you applied a safety label only to have it almost immediately start pealing off? The corners start curling up and before you know it parts rip off and the label is unreadable.

Have you made a label to find that it is quickly fading from exposure to sunlight?

Or maybe the label you just made got wet and the printing is smearing.

Selecting the right label material for the job is important. Some materials, such as industrial grade vinyl printed with a thermal transfer printer, will function fine in a wide variety of environments. Others, such as direct thermal labels have more limitations.

An article by Steve Hudgik, called Selecting The Proper Labeling Material will guide you in getting the right material for the labeling job.
