Durable Labels for Laboratory Conditions

One of our customers needed labels for laboratory containers, but finding an adhesive strong enough proved difficult. The sample tubes had a very small diameter, which tested the label’s ability to stay attached to the curved surface. On top of that, the tubes were stored in freezing conditions. By leveraging our supplier’s deep industry knowledge, we were able to quickly test materials and arrive at an excellent solution together with the customer.

Another customer needed to collect samples in outdoor conditions and seal containers while wearing butyl protective gloves. Applying labels with bulky gloves had previously been a frustrating task. Our solution was a specially die-cut label with perforations and slits that made it easy to peel from the roll and backing—even with gloves on. The sealing label material, which adhered well even to the slightly greasy surface of the containers, was selected through joint testing with the customer.
