Flexible. reliable. labels.

Chemical Resistant labels are specially designed labels that can withstand exposure to commonly used chemicals in lab applications, such as xylene, a powerful solvent commonly used in laboratory settings for slide staining, tissue processing, and other applications. These labels are made of materials that are highly resistant to chemicals, such as polypropylene, polyester, or vinyl, and are coated with a strong adhesive that can adhere to a variety of surfaces.

Chemical-resistant labels are often used to label samples, specimens, and slides in laboratories, as they provide a durable and reliable way to keep track of important information even in harsh chemical environments. These labels are resistant to smudging, fading, and smearing, and can remain legible even after exposure to xylene or other solvents, such as acetate.

Thermal-transfer printing is a digital printing method in which material is applied to paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with direct thermal printing, where no ribbon is present in the process. Make sure to purchase the corresponding ribbon for your thermal transfer labels.

Direct thermal labels are printed using chemically treated, heat-sensitive material that darkens when it passes under the printhead. Direct thermal printing produces sharp print quality with good scannability, and is ideal for applications requiring only a short lifespan.

Direct thermal printers are simple to operate compared to most other print technologies because there is no ink, toner or ribbon to monitor or replenish. As a result, maintenance costs are low.
