If you need barcode labels for goods, equipment or merchandise that requires storage in non-standard environments, you may need to track down labels that are specially designed to be durable.
Durable labels are now available that can withstand:
• Extreme heat and cold
• Outdoor environments, wind, rain and sleet
• Exposure to mild to moderately hazardous chemicals
• Abrasion or other risks of surface damage
These labels are designed to remain intact and perfectly functional even in these extreme conditions. This means you can read them, scan them and easily see them even if they have been outdoors or in a hot, damp environment for months. Some are over-laminated or coated with other protective substances, whilst some are made from super-durable vinyl.
Depending on exactly what you need them for, you can find durable barcode labels that can withstand temperatures as low as -40˚C and as high as +150˚C.
With standard labels in these environments, you will spend so much time, effort and money replacing them when they fade or disintegrate. There is also the risk that mistakes will be made during inventory checks or stock takes, which could lead to more problems later on.
