Polycarbonate Properties Our Labels Benefit From

At GSM Online Label Sales, we understand that when our customers order labels ‘online’ we may not know all about their application and so to ensure we offer a hardy label that is suitable for many applications and environments, we use polycarbonate.

Polycarbonate has a lot of properties that GSM value in a material and that complement our manufacturing process.

Lightweight
Polycarbonate is a much lighter option to that of a metal or a denser material which is very useful when applying the label but also when shipping products. This is because the label will not add extra or excess weight to the product in turn saving time and money on shipping costs.

Impact Resistant
Although polycarbonate is a lightweight material it is still very hardy and when put under the pressures of everyday usage it performs perfectly, protecting the detail printed onto it from scratches and scrapes.

Optical Clarity
To ensure that our labels are very durable we undersurface or reverse print to protect the printed details. The polycarbonate makes this possible because it has such clear optical clarity and the detail can be seen through the plastic.

Heat, Chemical & UV Resistance
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic polymer which means it is resistant to high temperatures making it the perfect option for many industries. Polycarbonate is also chemical and UV resistant. Couple this with our capability to print UV resistant inks onto the rear of the polycarbonate makes it the perfect chemical and UV resistant label.
