Chemicals are an important part of many businesses. In labs, doctors’ offices, and even manufacturing facilities, chemicals play a crucial role. But there are many different kinds of chemicals—knowing the exact chemical you are using is very important, this is where quality chemical ID labels come in.

When we tell our customers we want to help them implement supply chain risk management strategies so they don’t run out of labels, reactions can sometimes be along the lines of “Huh?” After all, it’s just a little label, how hard can it be to keep it in stock? But when it comes to supply […]
When to use Laminated Labels Labels are often challenged to perform with super-human strength and durability. We want them to be “permanent” and yet cleanly “removable.” We want them to hold up to constant abuse from moisture, temperature extremes, chemicals, solvents, abrasion, salt spray, acids, and so forth. We want them to fend off the […]

If you don’t crumple it up in a little ball right away, you may tuck it away for an expense report or […]
Understanding the Differences in Plastics To many people, it may be hard to think of labeling as a “science,” but the truth be known, it takes a good amount of technical background to solve tough label applications. For instance, one common question we will ask a customer when they come to us with a special […]
No matter how you say it, mistakes do happen. The fix might be a cover-up label. You’ve gone and printed tons of labels – enough to last you a lifetime (or so it seems.) Then you discover that there was a typo of some sort… Or perhaps some vital information was omitted… Or you find […]
We recently blogged about Understanding the Differences in Plastics. When it comes to matching the labels for plastic surfaces, there is a lot to take into consideration.
