Tire Label Material

Tire label material is a purpose-built construction combining a heat-tolerant facestock with a very high-tack adhesive that bonds to low surface-energy, mould-release-contaminated rubber. It is designed to stay attached through the curing (vulcanising) process and the outdoor yard and warehouse storage that follows, keeping barcodes scannable across the whole supply chain.

Tire plants and distributors use it for green-tire identification, cured-tire barcodes, retail marking and warehouse tracking; converters supply it as thermal transfer stock for in-plant printing.

Key factors are curing temperature and dwell, rubber compound and surface condition, whether the label is applied before or after curing, the ribbon used for the barcode image, and required storage life outdoors. Adhesion to a specific compound varies considerably — confirm with sample testing on your own tires.

A label stock with a special high-tack adhesive and durable facestock that bonds to rubber and survives tire curing and storage.

Rubber is a low-energy, flexible surface; a standard adhesive won't hold through the heat of curing and outdoor storage.

Yes, they are engineered to keep barcodes scannable through the curing heat and beyond.

Yes, typically by thermal transfer with a resin ribbon for durability.

Tire curing (vulcanising) exposes labels to sustained high heat; the high-tack rubber-bonding adhesive used for tire labels is formulated to hold through this process and the outdoor yard storage that follows — exact temperature ratings are confirmed on the datasheet for your specific tire compound and cure cycle.

Tire label constructions run on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner, matrix-stripped and die-cut to your label shape and roll width, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores — tell us your applicator so we can confirm liner and release performance.

Yes, request a free sample of our rubber-bonding tire label construction, along with the datasheet, so you can test adhesion and barcode scannability through your own curing and handling process before committing to a production order.

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