Waterproof labels are very popular due to their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. These labels are great for both dry and wet applications and can be applied to various products and surfaces. Read this guide to find out more about waterproof labels and how best you can apply them.

Printing Options

Most companies and small businesses prefer using professional label companies to take care of their label design and printing. However, if you prefer this to be a DIY project, then it is paramount to know what type of printer will work best on your waterproof label. Mainly, there are two types of printers that are used in label printing; laser printers and inkjet printers.

Not all label materials can be printed on these printers and in this case you need to use a weatherproof label material that will work with one of these printers. The white matte label material usually works well with either of the printers and the material is great for outdoor application. The laser printer is usually recommended for outdoor labels that need to withstand weather elements like the sun and rain since the printout lasts longer.

Added Benefits of Using Waterproof Labels

There are many other universal benefits of using the waterproof labels except the fact that they are weatherproof. Some of these benefits include:

  • You don’t have to invest in waterproofing sprays which are expensive and harmful to the environment. You save money while conserving the environment.
  • The logo and the name of your company remain intact for a long period of time which guarantees return customers.
  • Waterproof labels not only withstand rain and the sun but they also withstand other weather elements like snow and high humidity.
  • Waterproof labels have a variety of label material options including gloss and matte which guarantees great finished products.
  • These labels come in rolls and sheets
  • They use a strong and permanent adhesive to hold them on surfaces.

Common Uses of Waterproof Labels

Waterproof labels continue to be popular with customers since they can be applied to a wide variety of products. Some of these products include:

  • Food Product Labels: Waterproof labels are best applied on food products that are mostly stored in the refrigerator or that need to be handled with wet hands constantly. Examples of these foodstuffs include barbecue sauces, jellies, jams and anything that may need to be placed near a grill or pool.
  • Bath and Beauty Products: Use waterproof labels for products that will end up in the sink or the bathroom. These labels remain intact for the entire use of the products and the labels do not run ink or stain.
  • Outdoor Labels: Most outdoor labels convey warning or caution messages and they need to be well preserved at all times. Waterproof labels can withstand the volatile weather conditions therefore preserving the message.
