Special material with durable qualities

If your product is being handled, packed or used in harsh environments, it is important to use labels that are durable. Boxon offers applications that meet most requirements. Examples:

• Labels for chemicals

Labels for chemicals usually carry the requirement of having to be legible during the entire lifespan of the product. Thus, the paper quality must withstand UV light, physical abrasion, water and salt water, and the text print must withstand liquid spills and temperature extremes.

• Data labels

These types of labels usually carry a wide variety of country-specific requirements. For example, UL, CSA, Semko, CE, etc. In addition, they may be required to withstand gasoline, spirits, brake oil, heat and cold.
