Synthetic Labels

Explore options for industrial, outdoor, and specialized applications that require maximum durability and reliability.

About Synthetic Labels

Synthetic labels are labels made from durable, non-paper materials such as plastic, vinyl, or polyester. These labels are resistant to water, chemicals, and abrasion, making them ideal for harsh environments or products that require long-lasting, weather-resistant labeling.

about direct thermal labels

Direct thermal labels are a type of label that uses heat-sensitive material to create images or text when exposed to a thermal printhead. Unlike thermal transfer labels, they don’t require ink, toner, or ribbons. The printhead applies heat directly to the label’s surface, causing it to darken and form the printed image.

Types & Ideal Use

Synthetic labels are used in a variety of applications where durability is essential. Common uses include:

  1. Product labeling: For items exposed to harsh conditions, like chemicals or outdoor products.
  2. Asset tracking: On equipment or machinery that needs long-lasting identification.
  3. Food and beverage packaging: For items requiring resistance to moisture, oils, or refrigeration.
  4. Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals: On bottles or containers exposed to water, heat, or handling.
  5. Outdoor or industrial applications: Such as construction equipment, tools, and inventory management.

Their resistance to water, chemicals, and wear makes them ideal for these environments.
