Looking for lables? We cover a wide range from standard to high specification performance labels.
High temperature labels (Lexan, 3M)
Specialist high temperature labels that can withstand temperatures up to 300 Deg C. These can be applied to a wide range of equipment, products and industrial applications where high levels of heat resistance is required. Such labels can be found under car bonnets, car engines, electric fires, aeroplanes, microwave ovens and electrical coils. A range of high temperature adhesives is used to adhere your label to your chosen application or environment. It is possible to use a less expensive label if you take into consideration the dwell time along with the environment and surface in which the label is attached.

High specification labels
Specialist high specification labels with high specification adhesives. By selecting substrates for qualities such as durability, fire retardancy, electrical insulation, chemical resistance or surface reflectivity then these labels are ideal for low surface energy (low tack) or high surface energy (high tack), deep freeze, chemical environments, acid environments, direct sunlight or even buried underground in items such as data logers. These labels are manufactured to exacting standards with a dimensional accuracy of +/-0.2mm for trouble free application into moulding recesses.

Pantone Colour Matched Labels
A pantone colour matched label can be almost any type of label where you require the print colours to be matched to an exact pantone colour. These types of labels are often found on electronic equipment or where a label has a company logo or graphic, which needs to match the exact same colours found on other corporate material.

PCB labels (Printed Circuit Board lables)
PCB labels are stuck to a printed circuit board before soldering. PCB labels must withstand chemical exposure and very high temperatures and still be readable or scan reliably if they contain a barcode. Labels stuck to PCB boards will travel through a solder bath or solder wave at temperatures of 230 Deg C up to 290 Deg C, and can be in contact with the solder for up to 8 seconds. It is important to select the correct label as sub-standard labels may curl, shrink, blacken or even fall off.

Piggyback labels
Piggyback labels are where one label is placed on top of another label, these are sometimes referred to as a ‘label inside a label’. Piggyback labels are comprised from combining two layers of adhesive substrate, the bottom label provides the backing for the top label, this enables the top label to be peeled away from the bottom label and then affixed to another surface. These labels are commonplace in promotional and direct marketing., they are also widely used in parcel tracking where the top label can be peeled away from a label already affixed to a box and then stuck onto a sheet of paper where the customer then signs for the delivery, like the system used by the post office.

Vinyl labels
Vinyl labels or vinyl stickers are popular and cost effective. An ideal choice for general signage and product information labelling. Vinyl labels are available in an array of different colours and can be left blank or printed to match any colour using the pantone or CMYK (4 colour print) process. The vinyl can be cut to any shape or size and can easily be domed for a 3D appearance or over laminated to strengthen the overall structure.

Security labels
Security labels are used to protect against theft and tampering. There are two main types of security label. Destructible labels which disintegrate when somebody tries to remove them and tamper evident labels which leave the word "VOID" on the surface of the product when somebody removes the label. These labels can be customised and bar-coded.

Void labels
The main purpose of void labels is to protect a companies assets (products) against fraudulent use or fraudulent warranty claims. The void label is comprised of two layers. When somebody tries to remove the label from the asset or product the top layer will come off easily leaving behind the bottom layer which is made up of an aggressive tackified acrylic adhesive. Once the top layer is removed a "void" message will be left behind on the asset or product.

Tamper evident labels
Tamper Evident Labels (also known as tamper proof labels), are used to protect the integrity of a product. They are designed to disintegrate or leave the word "VOID" on the asset or product if someone attempts removal. They are often placed over seals and closures, to guard against unauthorised access. These labels are used on electrical equipment and often found on everyday items to protect against fraudulent warranty claims. They are also used in the retail industry to protect against theft and tampering of packaged items.
