PVC labels are a type of label made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as the base material. With features such as water resistance, wear resistance, and good flexibility, they are widely used in various scenarios.
I. Core Advantages of PVC Labels
Strong durability: They have excellent water resistance, oil resistance, and scratch resistance, maintaining clarity and not easily getting damaged even in damp or outdoor environments.
Flexible forms: The material is soft and bendable, capable of adhering to curved surfaces (such as bottle bodies, pipes), and can be die-cut into various shapes like circles and irregular shapes to meet different product requirements.
Good printing effect: They support various printing techniques such as color printing, hot stamping, and silk screen printing, with bright and vivid patterns and text colors that have strong adhesion and do not fade easily over long-term use.
Moderate cost: Compared to materials like metal and acrylic, the production and customization costs of PVC labels are lower, making them suitable for mass production and offering high cost performance.
II. Main Application Scenarios
Industrial field: Used for wire and cable identification, equipment nameplates, and pipe specification labels, they can withstand certain high and low temperatures and are suitable for industrial environments.
Household and beauty products: As labels for shampoo bottles, skin care products, and cosmetics, their water resistance prevents the labels from blurring when exposed to water.
Food packaging: Used for information labels on bottled beverages and snack packaging bags, they meet food contact standards (compliant PVC materials should be selected).
Home and daily necessities: Such as furniture accessory labels, toy warning labels, and storage box classification labels, they are wear-resistant and easy to identify.
Electronics and digital products: Attached to the surfaces of headphones, chargers, and small digital products, they are used to mark brand names, models, and other information and are not easily detached due to friction.
III. Precautions
Environmental considerations: Ordinary PVC materials contain plasticizers. In some scenarios (such as children's products and high-end food packaging), it is recommended to choose eco-friendly PVC or alternative materials without plasticizers (such as PET) to meet relevant environmental standards.
Environmental limitations: Although they can withstand certain temperatures, they may deform when exposed to high temperatures for long periods (such as above 60°C). The material's temperature tolerance should be confirmed based on the usage scenario.
Customization details: When customizing in bulk, it is necessary to clearly specify the size, shape, printing process, and whether a film coating is needed (to enhance wear resistance), and communicate in advance to confirm the sample effect.
