Our Polyester IUID Labels are a superb general purpose option for industrial applications where durability, excellent adhesion and cost is a factor. Effective across a wide range of temperatures, polyester labels offer permanent acrylic adhesion and excellent image quality. Their thermal receive coating provides cross-links with resin ribbons to form a chemical and abrasion resistant image. Polyester label substrate colors include: Gloss, Matte, White, Silver, Clear, Polyester IUID labels can be thermal transfer printed with human and machine-readable information using high-contrast black print resin.
Intended uses include electronics, computers, inside protected areas and low-UV environments. They have been effectively affixed to electronic components, assemblies sent into orbit on communications satellites, and under the heat shield of firearms. With their proven durability, application flexibility and modest cost, polyester labels are ideal for many different types of items and has a temperature tolerance range of -40 °F to 257 °F.
