- These labels are supplied on A4 sheets of matt white polyethylene with a permanent waterproof adhesive. They can be printed using an inkjet or a laser printer, or photocopiers. The polyethylene material is off-white in colour and thicker than our other materials. We advise customers to compare the material specifications against those of their printer and/or to request a sample to test. These labels were specially designed for labelling chemical drums and so the material is softer and more pliable than our polyester materials, with a very strong adhesive, which makes these labels well-suited to uneven or curved surfaces. Our white polyethylene labels are usually chosen because they are more durable than paper labels, more pliable than polyester labels, and/or waterproof. Generally these labels are intended for long term use or in conditions that standard labels are unlikely to survive.
- Our matt white polyethylene labels are waterproof due to the polyethylene material, the waterproof adhesive, and the laser printing process. They are well-suited to conditions where the printed label is likely to get wet. Common uses include labels for bottles and containers that hold liquids, in damp conditions such as kitchens and bathrooms, on items that are displayed outside shops or in garden centres, or on packages that are to be shipped long distance. The material and adhesive used for these labels conform to the BS5609 part 2 standard for marine immersion, which means they have been tested in salt water at mid-tide for a period of three months, and are suitable for use in outdoor and marine environments.
- Long life tracking labels – the polyethylene material and strong adhesive mean these labels are commonly used as long lasting tracking labels. This is a common requirement for address or shipping labels on items that may be travelling long distances or exposed to damp conditions, or for tracking items that will be put into storage. These labels can be printed with identifying information, delivery or storage instructions, or information stored in an alternative format such as barcodes and QR codes.
- Outdoor or marine conditions – as these labels conform to the BS5609 part 2 standard for marine immersion they can be used for applications that involve exposure to outdoor and/or marine conditions. Common examples of applications that require durable waterproof labels include labelling chemicals, medical and laboratory supplies, products that will be exposed to wet conditions such as kitchen, bathroom or gardening products, at swimming pools, equipment rental facilities, marinas, water sports companies, landscaping and gardening companies, construction and maintenance companies, and many more instances where identifying information, instructions, or signs need to remain in place even under adverse conditions. The pliable material and strong adhesive mean that these labels are ideal for use on all kinds of surfaces and materials, even in marine conditions.
- Curved and uneven surfaces – polyethylene is usually chosen in place of polyester due to its pliability. Standard polyester materials have a stronger “memory” which means that when they are applied to curved surfaces, the adhesive may not be strong enough to prevent the label from returning to its initial flat state and eventually peeling off of an item. The stronger adhesive and pliable material used for polyethylene labels help to avoid this problem. These labels were designed for the purpose of labelling chemical drums safely and securely with health and safety warnings and information identifying the contents. These labels are also useful when labelling containers such as bottles and jars, where the pliable material and strong adhesive allow the label to stay in place, even where it is curved around a cylindrical object.
- Retail labels – polyethylene labels can be used to add product information, company details, prices, or special features and promotions onto products, particularly items that have unusually shaped packaging or an uneven surface. They are also ideal for external shop displays or in garden centres, on containers that hold liquids such as bathroom or kitchen products, or on products that will be stored or used outside.

I use these labels all the time so I know they're good. I ordered quite late on the Thursday before good Friday. I was desperate for the labels as I'd run out completely but after realising it was Easter I didn't expect the labels until Wednesday of the following week. Imagine my delight when I had an email on the Thursday to say they had been despatched! They arrived Saturday and normal service was resumed. Such a quick service, literally order one day and they arrive the next.
