Lexan™ Labels samples

When the Going Gets Tough

................the tough use Lexan® polycarbonate labels.  Since the inks are printed on the back [or subsurface], they can't be rubbed, scuffed or scratched off.  This makes Lexan® an excellent choice for nameplates, control panels, instrument panels and overlays.  Because they resist mild chemicals, they are tough enough for heavy use in industrial environments.

They also work well for machines heavily used by the public.  Check out the samples we print for the California Lottery machines.

Lexan® labels are available in gloss, matte or velvet finishes.  We offer 7,  10, 15 and 20 mil gauges.

That's Harsh

For those applications where tough isn't tough enough, polyester labels are the clear-cut leader.  They're more costly than Lexan®, but will also last 50 times longer under the same conditions.  They are particularly suited to unforgiving environments since they are impervious to harsh chemicals and solvents.

Like their Lexan® counterparts, polyester labels are printed on the subsurface, so the inks are protected from scratches, scuffs and fading.  They also work well for face plates with embossed buttons for membrane switch activation.

Stick With It

To finish your labels, we offer a wide selection of both 3M™ and generic adhesives.

3M™ 467MP:     recommended for smooth or light textured surfaces
3M™ 468MP:     recommended for medium textured to rough surfaces
3M™ 300LSE:    recommended for low surface energy plastics, polypropylenes

We also offer adhesive-free windows; die cutting open areas in the adhesive to prevent any interference with the membrane switch and to eliminate adhesive clouding of LED lights .
