  • What Environments Will Your Labels Be Exposed To?

    Date:2021-10-28 

    When considering label applications, environmental conditions such as extreme high and low temperatures, exposure to chemicals, or contact with moisture present unique and specific requirements that must be considered in selecting the right materials and processes.
     
    Freezer Labels
    Effective adhesion can be especially challenging for freezer labels due to the variety of exposures. Factors such as frost and humidity can cause labels to lose their adhesive properties need to be considered. You should also be aware of whether your labels that will be applied prior to temperature reduction or in an active freezer environment, since the label properties required will be different.

    Outdoor Applications
    Labels exposed to outside elements must be resistant to a variety of weather conditions including ultraviolet rays from the sun which can cause untreated labels to quickly fade, degrade, and detach from their applied surface. Using the proper UV-resistant inks and laminates will protect your labels in these tough outdoor conditions.

    High Temperatures
    There are labels specifically designed for use in extremely high temperatures and applications involving harsh industrial solvents such as electronic component development, chemical laboratories, and similar environments. In these situations, exposure to high temperatures, caustic fluids, and industrial cleaning solutions make selecting the proper label materials and production methods critical for optimum performance.

    Physical Demands
    Labels on many goods are subject to a high degree of handling and movement allowing abrasions to occur due to frequent contact with pallets and lift trucks. For increased abrasion resistance, label materials that offer a higher degree of durability should be used to preserve the integrity of your labels.
