Industrial labels require resistance to variables such as high temperature, moisture, abrasion, chemical contact and outdoor exposure. The appropriate combination of material and adhesive must be verified through technical data and application tests.
Highlights in This Category
An industrial label is a label that has to do its job in daily use without deteriorating. The selection process is therefore not just a design decision but a technical evaluation: the temperature range the label will face, the substances it will come into contact with and how much friction it will be exposed to must be defined from the outset.
Temperature is the variable that most affects material and adhesive behaviour. At high temperatures, some adhesives soften and can slide, while at low temperatures holding strength can drop. For this reason, the temperature at the moment of application and the temperature during use must be evaluated separately.
Moisture, steam and chemical contact affect both the surface and the print of the label. Wash areas, cold rooms and process lines are risky in this respect. For labels to be used outdoors, the effects of sunlight, rain and dust over time must be planned for.
Surface compatibility is critically important: painted metal, stainless steel, rough plastic and dusty surfaces do not give the same result with the same adhesive. The suitability of the label must be verified not only through product information but through technical data and application tests.

Industrial labels are used in the demanding conditions of production and warehouse environments.
The topics below form the basis for determining the right combination in this category. The final choice is clarified together, based on your product surface and usage conditions.
The application temperature of the label and its usage temperature must be stated separately; the two values require different behaviour.
Cleaning chemicals, oil and solvents affect the resistance of both the material and the adhesive.
On frequently contacted surfaces, a protective surface or more durable materials are evaluated.
Fading and embrittlement can be expected on labels exposed to continuous light; the material is selected accordingly.
Adhesive testing is recommended on painted metal, stainless steel and rough plastic surfaces.
Printing and application decisions take shape according to how the label will be used on the product.
In heavy-use areas, the print must be resistant to friction and moisture.
Protective surface applications help shield the print against physical effects.
Fixed information such as equipment codes and variable information such as maintenance dates are planned together.
On small industrial labels, the cutting tolerance directly affects legibility.
An application test carried out under real conditions gives the most reliable information about long-term durability.
Sharing this information speeds up the quotation and technical evaluation process and reduces the need for changes during production.

Product descriptions provide guidance, but a definitive result requires an application test under real conditions. The appropriate combination becomes clear when technical values and test results are evaluated together.
At high temperatures, some adhesives can soften and slide. If you share your application and usage temperatures, a combination suited to both conditions is evaluated.
Resistance to moisture, chemicals and friction is required together. Film-based materials and a protective surface generally give more consistent results; even so, an application test is recommended.
Dust forms an intermediate layer between the adhesive and the surface and reduces the contact area. Cleaning the surface and choosing a suitable adhesive reduce this effect.
It varies with the material, the print and the climate conditions. When materials resistant to sunlight and moisture are used together with a protective surface, the expected service life is extended; the exact duration can only be verified by a field test.
