Ensuring label performance in real-world conditions requires rigorous testing across a variety of factors. From extreme temperatures to exposure to chemicals and abrasion, our lab is equipped to simulate the environments your labels will face. This comprehensive testing process ensures that your labels remain durable, legible, and securely adhered throughout their lifecycle, no matter the challenge.
Labels exposed to extreme temperatures must maintain their performance across all aspects, including adhesion, legibility, and material integrity. Our temperature testing covers a vast range to simulate the full spectrum of conditions, from cryogenic storage to high-heat industrial manufacturing processes.
Temperature testing from -296°C to 600°C
We rigorously test each label’s durability, peel resistance, print quality, and overall stability under these thermal conditions. Labels are subjected to repeated cycles of high and low temperatures to assess long-term durability.
Temperature testing is crucial for industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare, where labels must endure significant thermal stress. These tests ensure that labels maintain legibility, adhesion, and durability, even under high heat or freezing conditions. Our comprehensive testing process guarantees that your labels stay secure, legible, and functional throughout their lifecycle.
Labels are often exposed to harsh chemicals that can degrade adhesion, print quality, or material integrity. Our chemical testing process subjects labels to a wide range of solvents, acids, bases, and industrial chemicals to evaluate how they withstand incidental and prolonged contact.
Adhesion testing ensures that labels maintain a strong bond under various conditions and stresses. By simulating real-world applications, we evaluate how labels adhere to different surfaces and withstand forces like peeling, shearing, and stress. This ensures your labels stay secure without lifting, curling, or detaching.
Abrasion testing measures a label’s resistance to friction, wear, and handling. Labels are subjected to conditions that simulate regular contact or rough treatment to verify that they remain legible and intact over time. This ensures that labels used in high-contact environments maintain their durability and performance without fading or peeling.
Accelerated aging testing simulates the long-term effects of environmental exposure over a compressed time frame. Labels are exposed to UV light, heat, and humidity to predict their durability in real-world conditions. This testing ensures your labels will last throughout their intended lifecycle, even when exposed to harsh elements.
Autoclave and UV sterilization tests verify that labels remain intact and legible after exposure to high temperatures, steam, and UV radiation. These tests are essential for healthcare and lab environments where sterilization processes can degrade standard labels. This ensures the label materials survive multiple rounds of sterilization.

Color plays a crucial role in label design, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. From hazard communication to brand reinforcement, using the right colors ensures your labels are effective and recognizable. Incorporating color can also enhance functionality like in tamper-evident labels.
Color is essential for communication and identification.
In addition to aesthetics, color can be used to color-code products or convey critical safety information. By strategically using color, your labels can serve multiple purposes while maintaining visual appeal.
We offer custom Pantone color matching to ensure precise brand consistency. Our in-house color mixing allows for flexibility and quick turnarounds. For digital printing, we use custom CMYK to create full-color labels tailored to your needs. Additionally, we offer single and dual-color thermal transfer ribbons for simple or complex label requirements, ensuring the right solution for every application.
Selecting the right label shape and size is essential for proper adhesion and long-lasting performance. Labels must contour to curved or irregular surfaces, matching the product’s shape for the best results. Although it might seem like a rectangular label would work for any product, specialized shapes are often needed for the best fit and performance.
Bullet labels are custom die-cut for conical objects like microcentrifuge tubes. Their narrow shape allows for printing a linear barcode and text down the length of the tube, solving the challenges of labeling due to the tapered design
Flag labels wrap around cylindrical objects like tubes, hoses, or cables, with the ends adhering to each other. This creates a “flag” that extends outward, offering extra space for information for easy scanning and identification.
Laminate labels protect printed information with a clear cover. Wrap-around labels shield cylindrical surfaces, FLAP labels fold over a square print space, and paint patch labels feature a removable laminate that protects during painting.
Creating the perfect label requires balancing functionality and visual appeal. Our label design process focuses on ensuring your labels are not only durable and fit for purpose but also align with your branding and compliance needs. Whether you need a clean, minimal design or a complex layout with multiple elements, we tailor every detail to meet your specific requirements.
Selecting the right barcode symbology is crucial for ensuring data accuracy and system compatibility in lab automation. Each symbology offers different advantages, depending on your needs for data capacity, space, and readability. Linear barcodes are commonly used for simpler tracking tasks, while 2D barcodes store more data in a smaller space, making them ideal for advanced applications. By choosing the appropriate symbology, you can improve workflow efficiency.
Linear codes like Code 128 and UPC, are ideal for applications requiring fast, simple data capture. These codes are easier to scan quickly but store less information and require more label space.
2D barcodes, like Data Matrix, store significantly more data in a smaller space compared to 1D codes. They offer error correction and redundancy, ensuring they remain readable even if partially damaged.
Ensuring barcode readability and accuracy is key to preventing errors and disruptions in your processes. We provide barcode verification services to guarantee that every barcode meets industry standards for optimal scannability and data integrity.

Thermal transfer printing is known for its ability to produce durable, long-lasting labels that can withstand harsh conditions. It’s an excellent option for applications where labels need to endure high temperatures, chemicals, or physical wear. Thermal transfer is widely used for barcode and asset tracking labels due to its high durability.
When it comes to label printing, there are multiple options to fit your needs. You can choose blank labels for flexibility, fully pre-printed labels for convenience, or manage the entire process in-house with a print-on-demand (POD) solution. Each option offers distinct advantages depending on your workflow and requirements.
Partially printed labels balance quality and flexibility.
By using partially printed labels, you can combine the benefits of pre-printed and POD strategies. This allows you to keep consistent branding while printing variable information in-house.
Each strategy serves different needs based on your operational goals. Blank labels offer the most control but require more work on-site. Fully pre-printed labels reduce in-house labor but may lack flexibility for changes. Print-on-demand ensures you’re never overstocked, providing cost-efficient printing for variable data. Partially printed labels give you the best of both worlds by providing ready-to-use designs with room for customization.
We offer a range of converting and finishing options to ensure your labels are durable, clear, and easy to apply. From pre-coats that improve print receptivity to custom die-cutting, our finishing steps add durability, flexibility, and ensure you receive your labels in the format you require.
