Whilst a lot of business owners find barcode labels useful for keeping track of retail goods, warehouse items and even documents, other companies use them to meet more specific needs.
If you need barcode labels that can withstand high temperatures, exposure to minor chemicals or outdoor environments, you need to opt for durable labels. Where other labels will disintegrate, fade or peel off, these durable labels are specially designed to last.
There are two main types of durable labels available – durable vinyl labels and over-laminated premium polyester labels. The first variety is ideal for a wide range of heavy-duty applications, and can withstand temperatures of between -30˚C and +80˚C. The adhesive used to apply the labels is permanent, and they can be adhered to a wide range of different surfaces.
The second type, over-laminated premium polyester labels, offer heavy-duty protection and have a much wider temperature range. They can withstand exceptional temperatures, from -40˚C to +150˚C, and they generally last at least 5 years.
So, if your business has specialist needs when it comes to barcode labels, make sure you always go for ones that are specially designed to be durable.
