HIGHLY VISIBLE THERMAL LABEL MATERIAL.
BY REBECCA OSTERMAN
Reflective vinyl label tape is a specialized thermal print media. It is made up of material that is infused with light reflective plastic particles that makes it retroreflective. Retroreflective means that when a light source hits the material, it reflects directly back at it's light source, rather than being diffused in all directions. Additionally, the angled plastic particles mean that a light source doesn't have to be shown head on with the label in order to shine back at it's source. This wide-angle reflectivity leads to high visibility both at night and in the daytime.
Reflective Label Tape provides a wide variety of benefits including:
Poorly lit areas can lead to safety issues such as low clearance or tripping hazards. Reflective labels can provide necessary information and be seen even in poorly lit indoor areas such as dark corners, storage areas or hallways.
The need for readable labels and signage doesn’t stop once the sun goes down. Retroreflective labels make it easier to read important informational and warning signs and labels after dark.
Reflective label tape makes it possible to see your signs and labels from further away than traditional labels. This is especially useful for safety and directional signage.
Power Outages can quickly become hazardous and make regular signs and labels hard to see even in the normally best lit areas. Reflective vinyl ensures that signs and labels are visible when the lights are on – and when they’re out.
Retro-reflective label material allows for scanning from longer distances. Additionally, the flexible material can be wrapped to cover the front and bottom faces of the beams. This is perfect for high level racks that need to be scanned from the ground.
Create signs and labels in the size and shape you need. Reflective vinyl label tape is available in a variety of widths and can be used to print labels of just about any length.
Reflective label tape is made of a pliable material with an aggressive permanent adhesive. This flexibility makes it possible to apply the labels to almost any surface, including rounded or uneven surfaces that would make the application of a traditional reflective sign difficult.
Reflective vinyl label tape is highly resistant to extreme weather conditions including heat, cold and humidity. Coupled with an aggressive, permanent adhesive it has up to a 7-year durability rating. This makes it an excellent choice for harsh environments.
Color coding can improve organization, streamline processes and boost safety communication. With availability in a variety of colors, reflective vinyl is an excellent choice for color coding labels and signs.
Desktop or portable thermal printers make it easy to print reflective labels on demand. Printing labels you need, when you need them can save time and money. Printing labels on demand decreases lead time and waste, and provides flexibility to easily adjust to changing labeling needs.
