Whilst we have all become used to seeing smartly packaged food that is made and sold commercially by the big manufacturers, there are many smaller companies that grow bespoke products and pack them in polythene and attach a label with the product information on the pack. The labels that are used have to withstand the same conditions and handling just in the same way that all the large commercial producer needs.
In the same way, these smaller companies need printed labels which will withstand the temperatures that are to be experienced in the commercial and household freezer. The most important requirement for this kind of label is the adhesive and we would recommend that a strong 3M acrylic adhesive is used which can, in fact, stand up to temperatures as low as minus 196 degrees centigrade and that is cold!
A vinyl label is an ideal medium which we would use to produce this kind of label and normally the print or graphics is applied and then a thin film of adhesive is applied, the print can be protected with a gloss finish and this also helps to protect the print and the label from the moisture that is present in a freezer.
