Print on 40+ Specialty Materials, Validated for Your Application

For outdoor use, we recommend cast vinyl with UV-resistant lamination, rated for up to 5 years of outdoor exposure. For extreme conditions, polyester (PET) film with permanent adhesive offers superior chemical and temperature resistance.

Yes. We carry FDA 21 CFR and EU 1935/2004 compliant substrates suitable for direct and indirect food contact. These include food-grade BOPP, specialized coated papers, and water-based adhesive options.

Absolutely. Our sourcing team regularly procures specialty substrates from global suppliers. Custom material sourcing typically adds 2–3 weeks to the initial order timeline for testing and qualification.

We stock BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene), cast vinyl, and PE film substrates — all water-resistant and suitable for refrigerated, frozen, or outdoor products. BOPP with acrylic adhesive is our most popular choice for beverage, cosmetic, and household product labels. All materials are available in matte, gloss, or clear finishes.

Yes. Our outdoor-grade vinyl labels use UV-resistant inks and aggressive adhesive formulations that hold up against moisture, sunlight, and temperature extremes from –40°C to +120°C. We also offer polyester and aluminium foil substrates for industrial asset tags and equipment labels that require solvent resistance.

Yes. Our ESD-safe (electrostatic discharge) label substrates are tested to IEC 61340-5-1 standards. We produce ESD labels in static-shielding film with permanent or repositionable adhesive for PCB, component, and warehouse applications.

We recommend specific clear films and synthetic papers that are certified for indirect food contact. These materials, combined with compliant inks and adhesives, are tested for resistance to moisture and oils. We provide material data sheets and can guide you on the appropriate substrate for your packaging or label application.

Lead time depends on the substrate and supplier location. Standard custom material procurement and qualification typically adds 2-4 weeks to the project timeline. This includes sourcing samples, conducting our in-house lab tests for printability and durability, and final approval before your production begins.

We select adhesives based on your target surface (painted metal, glass, plastic, textured surfaces) and operational temperature range. Our lab tests bond strength and performance under specific conditions. For example, we specify freeze-grade adhesives for cold chain logistics or high-tack permanent adhesives for rough surfaces.

Every material in our library undergoes validation in our in-house testing lab for parameters critical to your application. We test for adhesion strength, UV resistance (with some films rated for up to 5 years outdoors), waterproofing (including IP67-rated options), temperature extremes, and chemical compatibility. This data-driven approach ensures the substrate performs as required in your specific environment.

Cast vinyl is a premium, conformable material ideal for long-term outdoor applications (5+ years) and complex curves like vehicle wraps. Calendered vinyl is a cost-effective, durable option for shorter-term outdoor or indoor use (typically 2-5 years) on flat or slightly curved surfaces. Our team can recommend the right type—including reflective or holographic variants—based on your durability needs, budget, and application surface.

Yes. Our custom material sourcing service is designed for non-standard requirements. We procure substrates from our global supplier network and manage the full technical qualification process in our lab. This includes testing for printability, adhesion, and environmental resistance before your production run, ensuring the custom material meets your exact performance specifications.
