Metalcraft’s Premium Polyester Barcode Labels provide both flexibility and functionality for your asset tracking needs.
Designed for a variety of applications, the versatile polyester is pliable enough to conform to curved surfaces and durable enough to resist caustics, solvents and mild abrasion. Premium Polyester Barcode Labels are subsurface printed which provides an extra layer of protection for the logos, copy and barcode against solvents, caustics, acids and mild abrasion. This unique process eliminates the need for a laminate; thereby eliminating the cost for the laminate as well as the possibility of delamination. The .002″ thick, pressure-sensitive adhesive provides permanent adhesion.
The digital printing process used to produce these barcode labels ensures even the most detailed logo will look crisp and clean. Custom colors available at no additional charge.
Our Premium Polyester Barcode Labels are now available with our ColorFast™ option – a Tedlar® laminate that extends exposure for up to 10 years! Contact Metalcraft at 1-800-437-5283 or 641-423-9460 for more details.

FAQs
Polyester barcode labels are engineered for durability, offering strong resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and moisture. Unlike paper labels, polyester withstands harsh conditions, making it ideal for applications requiring long-lasting performance. White polyester material paired with permanent adhesive ensures barcode readability over time, even in demanding service temperature ranges.
Choose removable adhesive when you need to reposition or remove the polyester label without leaving residue, ideal for temporary tags or cases. Permanent adhesive is best when labels must stay fixed over time, such as on boxes or items exposed to abrasion, chemicals, or moisture.
Consider the printer’s compatibility and the application. Outer diameter and core size affect how rolls fit your thermal transfer printer. For example, a Wasp-compatible printer might require a specific core. Always check product details and reviews before ordering to ensure smooth performance and material compatibility.
Polyester barcode labels are ideal for labeling products, equipment, or boxes exposed to chemicals, moisture, or abrasion. These durable labels meet the needs of industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics, where durability, barcode readability, and resistance to harsh environments are critical over time.
You can create custom polyester labels by choosing size, shape, white or colored material, adhesive type, and adding barcode, text, or graphics. Many suppliers allow you to decrease or increase quantity per order, ensuring the right balance between price, availability, and application-specific needs.
Polyester barcode labels generally cost more than paper labels due to superior durability, resistance, and longevity. While paper labels are cheaper for short-term use, polyester labels justify the higher price for long-lasting applications. Bulk ordering can reduce cost per item and improve price-to-performance ratio.
