In safety labeling, vinyl is the material that is most commonly used because of its long life and durability. With the right combination of properly formulated vinyl and thermal transfer ribbon, vinyl labels can last for years, even in tough conditions.
Quality labeling vinyl is UV, scratch and chemical resistant, and can last for years. When you buy vinyl from a good supplier, you will be assured that it will print clearly, adhere properly and last. The choice of vinyl is important because chosing the wrong vinyl can lead to waste, and the need to re-create labels sooner than is necessary. Buy quality vinyl for labeling projects is essential to cutting costs and maximizing savings.
Vinyl can come in different thicknesses and qualities. Some vinyl labels are too thing, or can tear too easily. Most vinyl suppliers will provide samples upon request, so you can compare the quality. Thicker vinyl, if properly formulated, can last longer and resist damage better than thinner vinyl. Thicker vinyl generally has greater UV resistance, because UV radiation must penetrate through a thicker layer before affecting the adhesive backing.
