It is essential to choose what type of labeling to use for our business, to achieve optimal results in our products.

Each company has certain conditions in which it will store its merchandise, as well as the climatic conditions, the objective of each label that is going to be used and the materials or surfaces on which they are going to be included.

These three aspects are essential to take into account when choosing one type of labeling or another.

In the case of needing a durable label, the most recommended to use is a Ribbon.

At Etiden we can help you in your case and give you the solution that best suits your needs, but first take a look at the different types of labels that exist on the market.

Where will you apply the label?

 

• Substrate properties (roughness, shape, moisture, etc).
• How does it apply? manually or automatically?
• Temperature and humidity during labeling and conditions after labelling.
• Environment (site with humidity, high or low temperatures, excessive dust, etc.).
• If it goes through some process: sterilization, pasteurization, etc.
• Durability.

Ribbon Types

 

These types of labeling are recommended when we want the label to last as long as possible.

In this sense, three types of Ribbons should be highlighted:

• Simple protection wax: they are used to print short-term labels on paper that cannot suffer extreme weather conditions.
• Mixed: they are used on synthetic materials and whose label can suffer blows or more humid conditions in the environment.
• Resin: they are characterized by having total protection, indicated so that their duration is very durable and has a very good resistance.

In short, there are an infinite number of labels or adhesive labels, the simplest ones that are normally used to transport merchandise and that the useful life of the label comes to an end when the shipped product reaches the buyer; or some more complex ones that prevent their deterioration due to adverse weather conditions.

Do not forget to consult the types of Ribbon labels that we offer at Etiden.
