PET Label Material

PET label material is a dimensionally stable polyester film facestock, commonly 23–50 µm, supplied clear, white, matte or silver. It offers high heat, chemical and abrasion resistance with very little stretch, so printed detail and register hold up under cleaning, solvents and mechanical handling that would distort softer films or destroy paper labels.

It is specified for durable rating plates, electronics and battery labels, laboratory and pharmaceutical containers, automotive components and asset tags that must stay readable for the life of the product.

Choose gauge for stiffness and die-cutting, adhesive for the substrate and service temperature range, and print method — thermal transfer with resin ribbon, UV flexo or screen give the most durable images. Where labels face solvents, autoclaving or long outdoor exposure, resistance depends on the exact chemistry and cycle — confirm with sample testing.

Durable industrial, electronic, chemical and healthcare labels that must resist heat, solvents, tearing and abrasion.

PET (polyester) has higher heat and chemical resistance and tensile strength, so it survives harsher environments than polypropylene film.

Yes. PET tolerates far higher temperatures than paper or BOPP, suiting electronics, engine-bay and autoclave-adjacent uses.

White, clear, matte and silver, so it covers durable, transparent and metallic requirements.

PET tolerates significantly higher temperatures than paper or BOPP film, making it suitable for hot-fill, engine-bay-adjacent and sterilisation-cycle labelling; the exact continuous and peak temperature rating depends on facestock thickness and adhesive grade, and is confirmed on the technical datasheet for your specific construction.

Use a resin ribbon for thermal transfer printing on PET film — wax and wax-resin ribbons do not anchor reliably to polyester and will smear or scratch off. Resin ribbon on PET gives the chemical, heat and abrasion resistance PET labels are chosen for.

PET film is supplied on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner, matrix-stripped and die-cut to your label shape, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores up to 1,600 mm wide. Request a free sample and datasheet so we can confirm die compatibility for your shape.

Stocked grades start from 1 jumbo roll. Custom constructions or coatings typically start from 3,000–5,000 square meters, depending on complexity.

Permanent, removable, deep-freeze, high-tack or wash-off adhesive (water-based or hot-melt), on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner — matched to your surface and environment.
