Questions we will ask about your Process Industries application.
Every segment has its own deciding factors. Have these answers ready and we can recommend the right construction faster.
Answer these in an enquiry →- What is the container material and shape (glass, PET, HDPE, drum)?
- What is stored inside, and at what temperature?
- Is the surface wet, oily or frosty when labelled?
- What data must appear (barcode, batch, expiry, hazard text)?
- How are labels applied (hand, automatic applicator) and at what speed?
- Do you need tamper evidence or metal-adhesive labels?

QUESTIONS
Process Industries: common questions.
Will labels stick in freezers and on frosty or wet surfaces?
Low-temperature and frozen-food constructions are chosen for the surface and the temperature at the time of application and in storage.
Which labels suit chemical drums and containers?
Chemical-resistant warning and identification labels, with metal-adhesive options for drums, built for your container and contents.
Can labels carry batch, expiry and barcode data?
Yes. Variable data and barcodes are printed to your format and verified for readability.
Do you offer tamper-evident labels?
Yes. Tamper-evident, syringe and blood-bag labels are available for products that need proof of opening.
What if our product is near food or pharma packaging?
Tell us the requirement and how the label sits relative to the product. We propose suitable materials and confirm them before production.
