What Thermal Barcode Label Works In Freezing Conditions?

If you work in an environment that is around freezing, have you noticed that thermal barcode labelswon’t stick?

Are your thermal barcode labelsnot functioning properly in extremely cold temperatures. Are they falling off their packing? Is the ink causing a problem? Not all thermal labels are created equally. Different environments and applications call for different thermal labels. For example, if you’re working in frigid environments, you are going to need to use thermal barcode labels specifically designed for extremely low temperature environments.

Finding a freezer thermal barcode labelisn’t where the fun stops either. There are generally two types of freezer thermal barcode labelsthat you need to keep in mind when shopping for your freezer thermal barcode labels. The type of freezer thermal barcode labelgenerally depends on whether you intend to use the labels in a freezing but dry environment, or a freezing environment where frost or moisture could be a factor in what the label needs to withstand. Freezer thermal barcode labelsintended for dry environments are typically made of paper while those made for environments with frost and/or moisture are made of moisture-resistant synthetics like plastics and vinyl.

There are certain things that must be kept in mind when choosing the right label for your product. First and foremost, the label must be able to withstand drastic changes in environment. Going from dry, room-temperature environments to freezing cold ones to boiling hot environments is par for the course when it comes to freezer-grade thermal barcode labels. It’s imperative that they can withstand all of these changes and not only that, but hold up for extended periods of time.

On top of that, your thermal barcode labelsneed to be able to adhere to a variety of product types: cardboard, paper, waxed board, plastic, shrink wrap and much, much more. These materials all have different characteristics that make the way in which they react to changes in environment different. Paper won’t react to extreme colds the same way plastic will – something to keep in mind.
