Chemical industry labels are crucial for the identity and presentation of your products. Their durability, aesthetic appeal, effectively conveyed messages, product data - all these elements influence your customers` experience and  the long-lasting impression of the product.  

Which are the difficulties that labels in the chemical industry typically face? Degradation upon contact with aggressive substances, detachment under extreme temperatures, prolonged sunlight or moisture exposure are among the usual challenges. 

How can you achieve durable chemical product labels without sacrificing the marketing appeal of your product?

Based on specific requirements, labels are expected to have multiple properties: design must both meet product needs and customer expectations; materials selection should be determined by the usage and application conditions; content must comply with legislative and regulatory norms.  

Labels for plastic

Plastic packaging is widely used throughout the chemical industry, and their surface properties require certain characteristics of the labels in order to achieve excellent adhesion.

Our solutions include materials compatible with a broad range of plastics. Capabilities include special adhesives for various surfaces as well as different protective coatings in cases of aggressive external conditions such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, chemical, and mechanical influences.   

Labels for metal

Metal containers and packaging used for storing solvents, paints, and other chemicals require labels which adhere reliably to smooth, even lightly oiled surfaces. 

There are also labels combined with special adhesives which ensure strong bonding even in the cases of light contamination. Certain corrosion could arise from the interaction between the label and the metal surface, for which labels can provide a certain degree of resistance - a particularly important asset for long-term storage in the chemical industry.    

Labels for rubber

Rubber products and packaging have higher elasticity and often complex surface structure. Flexible labels are able to follow the surface curves without detaching. 

Furthermore, when it is time to remove the labels, it is important that no adhesive residue remains on the product surface. Specialized adhesives can ensure long-lasting bonding with various types of rubber, while heat-resistant labels provide security in different temperatures. 

Labels for Flexible packaging

Flexible packaging, including various types of foil and specialized paper, is widely used for chemical products with smaller volumes or single-use applications.

For this type of packaging, it is essential to use labels that maintain readability when the flexible packaging bends and deforms. The go-to solutions include certain protective functions to prevent smearing and sustain readability under mechanical influences.
