Product Information

These labels are supplied on A4 sheets of matt white polypropylene material, with a layer of permanent waterproof adhesive.

They can be printed on using an Inkjet or water printer and due to the material, Inkjet print will be as waterproof as print using a laser printer, previously this was not possible.

Since they were designed for use on chemical containers, these labels are incredibly durable, due to their durability these labels are quite stiff and have a strong “memory” to them and if used on curved or uneven surfaces they will try to return to their “natural” flat position, this means sometimes they will peel at the corners over time.

We supply a waterproof plastic label that is just as durable but is designed especially for curved surfaces however they are not able to hold inkjet print and it will wash off over time.

These are our Matt White Polyethylene (MWPE) labels Both of these labels have been tested for use in marine environments to conform to the BS5609 part 2 standard. This means that they have been submerged in sea water at mid-tide for a period of 3 months.

Common Uses

Waterproof Inkjet Print – The most important feature of these labels is that they can accept inkjet print and then make that print 100% waterproof, this means you can achieve a much higher level of detail than you would previously.
Long life tracking labels – the polypropylene material and strong adhesive mean these labels are commonly used as long lasting tracking labels. This is a common requirement for address or shipping labels on items that may be travelling long distances or exposed to damp conditions, or for tracking items that will be put into storage. These labels can be printed with identifying information, delivery or storage instructions, or information stored in an alternative format such as barcodes and QR codes.

Outdoor or marine conditions – as these labels conform to the BS5609 part 2 standard for marine immersion they can be used for applications that involve exposure to outdoor and/or marine conditions. Common examples of applications that require durable waterproof labels include labelling chemicals, medical and laboratory supplies, products that will be exposed to wet conditions such as kitchen, bathroom or gardening products, at swimming pools, equipment rental facilities, marinas, water sports companies, landscaping and gardening companies, construction and maintenance companies, and many more instances where identifying information, instructions, or signs need to remain in place even under adverse conditions. The pliable material and strong adhesive mean that these labels are ideal for use on all kinds of surfaces and materials, even in marine conditions.

Retail labels – polyethylene labels can be used to add product information, company details, prices, or special features and promotions onto products, particularly items that have unusually shaped packaging or an uneven surface. They are also ideal for external shop displays or in garden centres, on containers that hold liquids such as bathroom or kitchen products, or on products that will be stored or used outside.
