Paper labels give up quickly when they meet water, oil, chemicals, heat, or constant handling. Synthetic labels use materials like polyester and polypropylene, so they stay readable and attached where paper would peel, tear, or smear.

Synthetic labels are usually printed with thermal transfer, using a resin or wax-resin ribbon for strong adhesion to the film. Pair them with a compatible label printer and see our Thermal Transfer Labels.
