How Does Spring Affect Your Labels?

Now that spring is officially here, we can think about the longer days filled with light bright sunshine.

Something most of us look forward to after the long and cold winter. However, spring is a time that also serves as a warning. A warning that summer is on its way. And with summer, comes UV rays (potentially).

You may wonder why we may need to be ‘warned’ over sunshine, but it can be detrimental to the print on some signage and labels making them illegible. Spring serves as a warning to check all your labelling and ensure that it is printed effectively enough to survive glaring sun rays.

At GSM Online Label Sales, we have had our labels tested to ensure their UV durability. Our customers request the best quality labels, and we can deliver having our labels tested to ANSI specifications to ensure UV durability.

To ensure that our labels last outside from spring to winter we manufacture our labels to the highest possible standards.

Our aluminium labels are anodised and sealed to ensure that the ink is protected by the anodic layer, ensuring a scratch and weather resistant surface.

The polycarbonate plastic labels that we produce are under surface printed to ensure that the ink is protected from scuffs and weathering by the polycarbonate material.

So, take this spring as your warning to review your labelling and invest in some weather proof labels.
