Reliable Labeling for Industrial-Use Products
When it comes to industrial labeling, durability and clarity aren’t optional — they’re essential. From machinery and electrical components to paints, adhesives, and cleaning products, labels on industrial-use goods must withstand harsh conditions while clearly communicating critical information.
At Inovar Packaging Group, we specialize in custom label solutions for industrial products. With decades of experience across our nationwide network of facilities, we understand the unique challenges industrial labeling presents and have the materials, adhesives, and converting capabilities to deliver long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
Why Industrial Labels Require a Different Approach
Unlike consumer goods, industrial products are often exposed to:
- Heat and friction
- Moisture and chemicals
- UV exposure or outdoor environments
- Rough handling and prolonged storage
In many cases, the label isn’t just branding — it’s an important safety and compliance tool. A label that peels, fades, or tears can lead to miscommunication, regulatory issues, or even safety hazards.
That’s why Inovar offers a full range of durable label materials, specialty adhesives, and finishes tailored to your product’s application and storage environment.
Key Considerations for Industrial Labeling
1. Application and Use Conditions
The conditions under which your product is applied and used are among the most critical factors in selecting the right label. Whether it’s a part exposed to heat or a drum of solvent handled in wet or chemical-prone environments, we’ll guide you to the correct label structure.
Recommended materials may include:
- BOPP (polypropylene) for general durability
- Polyolefin for flexibility and chemical resistance
- Vinyl for maximum durability in harsh environments
2. Storage and Environmental Exposure
Even if a product isn’t exposed to harsh conditions during use, it might face them in warehousing, shipping, or storage. For example, high heat in summer months, freezing temperatures in winter, or long-term outdoor storage all affect label performance.
We use UV-resistant laminations, weatherproof adhesives, and moisture-resistant coatings to ensure your labels remain readable and intact, no matter the environment.
Space Constraints? Try Extended Content Labels
Many industrial-use products, such as paints, coatings, solvents, or specialty chemicals, must include lengthy instructions, warnings, or regulatory data. That’s where extended content labels (ECLs) come in.
Inovar offers a variety of custom booklet and peel-and-reseal label formats to help fit everything you need without increasing packaging size. These are especially useful for:
- GHS-compliant hazard communications
- Multi-language instructions
- SDS or product formulation data
We Offer Labels Designed to Work as Hard as Your Products
No matter your product type — from adhesives and sealants to equipment parts and containers — we’ll ensure your labels meet all functional and regulatory requirements.
