GET YOUR OWN PRINTED POLYCARBONATE LABELS

When you need a label that can withstand the harsh elements, a c is probably your best option.

Polycarbonate is a group of thermoplastic polymers. These polymers are easy to work with. They are easy to mold and thermoformed. These plastics have a variety of industrial uses.

Polycarbonate, also known as Lexan, is a durable transparent film avialable with either a gloss (highly polished), velvet or matt finish which is ideal for producing durable, long lasting labels. Polycarbonate labels (Lexan Labels) are a popular choice amongst engineers because they are hardy, high end labels designed for industrial use.

• Hard wearing material which is resistant to abrasions
• Can be reverse printed (so that the print if fully protected)
• Water resistant
• Heat resistant up to temperatures of 147°C
• Ideal for applications requiring transparency
• Windows or LED displays can be included
• Can be cut to virtually any shape (eg a keypad membrane)

There are many different kinds of polycarbonate labels that industries use today. There are barcode labels, warning labels, safety labels, danger labels, hazardous labels, bio-hazard labels, logo labels, product identification labels, inventory labels, asset tags, tamper-proof labels, instruction labels and quality-control label.
