Industrial & Chemical Labels

Labels for drums, canisters, jerrycans, lubricants and industrial consumables that stay legible through chemicals, weather and years of handling. Laminated PET and vinyl with high-tack adhesives, hazard pictograms printed to last, and asset and rating labels for equipment.

  • Drums, canisters, jerrycans, pails, tins, equipment and panels
  • PET and vinyl face stocks with lamination for chemicals, abrasion and UV
  • High-tack and aggressive adhesives for HDPE, powder-coated metal and textured surfaces
  • Hazard pictograms, serial numbers and rating data printed durable and scannable

Tell us the container, the conditions and the line; we propose the construction and confirm it with samples.

Challenges

Problems we solve in industrial & chemical

What industrial buyers ask us to solve.

Challenge

Solvents and chemicals attack the label

Unprotected ink smears and paper disintegrates after contact.

What we do: PET or vinyl with lamination so the print is sealed; adhesives chosen against the contents and tested on your container.

Challenge

Outdoor storage fades and cracks labels

UV and weather turn labels brittle and unreadable in a season.

What we do: UV-laminated PET or vinyl with a permanent adhesive; samples weathered and checked.

Challenge

Powder-coated and textured surfaces

Low-energy and rough surfaces reject standard adhesives.

What we do: aggressive high-tack adhesives and conformable films, tested on your surface after 72 hours.

Challenge

Hazard pictograms and legibility

Symbols and text must stay readable for the life of the product.

What we do: pictograms printed at the sizes you specify under lamination; barcodes and serials verified for scanning.
