UV protective laminate

The print on labels can be affected by various external factors. Especially during outdoor use, labels are exposed to weather conditions and UV radiation. Sweat and friction, for example when using tools, can also cause the print to wear over time. Although high-quality print ensures long-lasting durability, you can extend the label’s lifespan by several years.

UV-resistant labels
How do you make UV-resistant labels? By applying an additional UV laminate over the label. This protective layer not only shields the print from UV rays but also protects the label from friction and chemicals.

Why are laminates approximately 1 mm smaller than the labels?
To be precise, the protective laminate is 1.5 mm smaller than the label. This ensures the laminate stays firmly attached for years and prevents dirt from building up around the edges. If the laminate were the same size or larger than the label, dirt would eventually accumulate between the laminate and the label — exactly what you want to avoid. Additionally, labels are easier to apply when there is a margin of about one millimeter around the edges.
