60mm by 40mm Polyester label

Description

A 60mm x 40mm polyester label is a

durable, non-tearable, and highly resistant synthetic label designed primarily for thermal transfer printing using a resin ribbon.

Key Specifications

The primary characteristics for a standard 60mm by 40mm polyester label are:

• Material: Polyester (PET), available in finishes such as white matte, white gloss, clear, or silver.
• Dimensions: 60 mm (width) x 40 mm (height).
• Durability: Non-tearable, waterproof, oil-resistant, chemical-resistant, and scratch/smudge-free.
• Printing Method: Primarily designed for thermal transfer printers, which bond the image to the label using heat and a ribbon for long-lasting results.
• Ribbon Requirement: Requires a resin ribbon for optimal print quality and durability on the non-absorbent polyester surface.
• Adhesive: Typically features a strong, permanent hot-melt adhesive suitable for various surfaces like metal, plastic, and cardboard.
• Service Temperature: Often rated for a wide range of temperatures, such as -20°C to 80°C.
• Typical Roll Configuration:
  • Labels Per Roll: Commonly 500, 1000, or 1500 labels.
  • Core Diameter: Standard core sizes are 1 inch (25mm) for desktop printers or 3 inches (76mm) for industrial printers.
  • Sensing: Usually die-cut with gaps between labels, or an option for a black mark on the backing paper for printer detection.

Common Applications

Due to its high durability and resistance to harsh elements, this label size is well-suited for a variety of applications:

• Asset Tracking: Labeling valuable equipment, machinery, or IT assets.
• Industrial Labeling: Use in factories and warehouses for bin, tote, and shelf identification.
• Chemical & Product Labeling: Ideal for cosmetics, automotive lubricants, and household chemicals.
• Barcode & Inventory: Creating sharp, scannable barcodes for product identification and tracking.
• Compliance: Used in laboratories, medical clinics, and for general purpose, long-term use where the label needs to last for an extended period.
