What is the difference between paper and synthetic labels?
"Our standard high quality paper label is perfect for most uses however, certain applications require a synthetic label. Synthetic labels are useful for many applications because the label is water and weather proof. In addition synthetic labels don't have a ""memory"" like paper labels so they are perfect for application on a curved surface.
Synthetic labels are also perfect in an industrial or harsh environment.
We use Kimdura synthetic labels. The finest quality you can purchase. Typical applications of synthetic labels are Greenhouse applications, Plant labeling, Ourdoor product tracking, Asset Management and Tool Tracking.
