Labels with an adhesive and facestock prepared for freezing, weather, UV rays, oils and chemicals, and adhesives for difficult surfaces such as PP, PE or powder coating. Chemical resistance refers to the material of the label itself.
Three types have their own page: cryogenic and deep-freeze labels for laboratory samples, UV- and weather-resistant outdoor labels, and oil- and abrasion-resistant labels for engines and construction machinery. PP or PE synthetic rolls and high-tack labels for low-surface-energy surfaces are also quoted. Typical sectors are automotive and machinery, energy and renewables, laboratory and cold chain (non-medical use), food and beverage, and logistics.
We do not state service-life years or test figures of our own: they depend on the material, the adhesive and the exposure, and are confirmed against the datasheet of the proposed material. Made or sourced to your specification, with the customer's design and data.
In short
What it is: Deep freeze, UV-exposed outdoor use, oil, abrasion and chemical resistance of the material.
What we need to quote: Environment: freezing, outdoor (UV, salt spray), oil or chemicals; Surface: material and finish (for example, PP, PE or powder coating); Temperature and, for cold, how it is immersed (liquid phase, vapour or dry ice).
Scope to check: Chemical resistance refers to the material of the label itself.

Types and materials
Labels for laboratory sample tubes, boxes and bags, with two reference levels: −80 °C and liquid nitrogen (−196 °C), according to the material datasheet. They take pre-printed codes and apply to wet and cold surfaces.
Read morePolyester, vinyl or polycarbonate with acrylic adhesive, for exposure to UV rays, salt spray and rain. They are printed with the customer's design and take lamination, numbering, QR or die-cut sets.
Read morePlate-type labels for engine bays and construction machinery, resistant to oil, abrasion and heat, in laminated PET, polyimide or aluminium. With serial number, VIN or QR.

Scope of the category
Chemical resistance refers to the material of the label itself. Hazard-classification labels for substances and dangerous-goods transport labels are not supplied. Use: identification of laboratory samples, not a medical product.
Frequently asked questions
Which labels can be used in −80 °C freezers?
Cryogenic and deep-freeze labels. Two reference levels are used, −80 °C and −196 °C (liquid nitrogen), with adhesives for wet and cold surfaces; the right level is confirmed against the datasheet of the proposed material. Use: identification of laboratory samples, not a medical product.
How many years does a UV-resistant outdoor label last?
We do not state service-life years: they depend on the material, the adhesive, the exposure and the surface, and there are no standardized ageing tests we can cite. As a general reference, the EUIPO guide describes materials such as vinyl, nylon, polyester and polyethylene as unaffected by solvents, detergents, oil, dirt, UV rays and sea water; this is general information, not a specification of our products.
Can labels be applied to PP, PE or powder coating?
Yes: high-tack adhesives exist for low-surface-energy surfaces (PP, PE, powder coating). State the surface and the adhesive and face are chosen.
Are there labels for engines and construction machinery?
Yes: plate-type labels resistant to oil, abrasion and heat, in laminated PET, polyimide or aluminium, with serial number, VIN or QR. State the fluid, temperature and location.
