DuraLabel Label Printer & DuraLabel Supplies

Although often used for industrial applications and in industrial facilities, the versatile DuraLabel PRO can be utilized for a wide range of labeling tasks. One recommended use is to complete labeling tasks in the laboratory.

Whatever type of laboratory in which you work, you'll find that the DuraLabel PRO printer is fit to handle most labeling jobs. This is due mostly to the supplies that the DuraLabel PRO uses. DuraLabel supplies stand up to laboratory conditions extremely well. DuraLabel ribbon and vinyl are highly resistant to low and high temperatures. This is an important characteristic because many laboratories keep samples in cold temperatures where some adhesives simply fail. Another scenario is the thermal transfer ribbon resin melting off in a hot environment, such as hot water baths. However, this is unlikely to happen with DuraLabel supplies.

In addition to resisting a wide range in temperature, DuraLabel supplies are also quite resistant to chemicals. Since laboratories use many types of chemicals and solvents, it is wise to create labels capable of resisting a wide range of substances.

As you can see, the DuraLabel PRO isn't just for industrial purposes. It is designed to assist with essential laboratory labeling. So go with a name you can trust and service you can count on: DuraLabel.

DuraLabel supplies give you the best performance... the best durability... the best clarity... and the best value. Why? Because with DuraLabel PRO supplies you are dealing with the labeling experts. We don't just say things because they sound good, we know what we are talking about and you can see our experience and expertise in the quality of our products.

Let's look at DuraLabel PRO vinyl tape as an example. What makes a quality vinyl tape?

The are a number of factors such as the smoothness of the vinyl surface. The quality, type and thickness of the adhesive? And the thickness of the vinyl.

Vinyls for printing labels and signs are available in thicknesses ranging from 1.5 mil to 10 mil.

Off the top of your head you'd think that the thicker the vinyl, the better the quality of the labels it makes. Bigger is always better... right? But, that's not right. Thicker vinyl does not mean more durable vinyl. The truth is that the opposite is true. The thinner the vinyl, the longer the life of the vinyl. To get ten-year vinyl, for example, means the thickness will be in the range of 2.0 mil.

Thick vinyl has the advantage when it comes to direct "body" hits. A thinner vinyl may show direct impact damage before thicker vinyl will. However, thinner vinyl has better "self healing" properties for scuffs and minor damage. With thinner vinyl small holes will reseal or can be worked to reduce the amount of damage. This also helps to keep the adhesive intact.

However, the most common type of label damage is called "grazing". This happens when something moving rubs or brushes against a label. This could be a person walking by, or water (rain) flowing over the label, or even just wind.

Where thin vinyl vastly outperforms thick vinyl is in the edge profile. The friction of "grazing" can literally peel the label up over time. When the edge of a vinyl label begins to come loose, even by a small amount, its days are numbered. Once the edge seal is broken, air will dry up the adhesive at a much more rapid rate and water or chemicals will degrade the adhesive. The thicker the vinyl, the more susceptible it is to peeling up on the edges when it comes into contact with anything that causes friction: water, wind, compressed air, cleaning apparatus and so on. Human actions are probably the single biggest factor in how long a label will last i.e., cleaning tools compressed air, pressurized water etc.

The low edge profile gives thin vinyl a distinct advantage in this area as there is less surface area around the edges. Less surface area means less friction and edges that stay stuck.

The truth is, when it comes to vinyl labels, thicker is not better. DuraLabel vinyls are designed to have the optimum thickness. For most applications this is 3.0 mil. This provides excellent resistance to both "grazing" and "body hits", resulting in the longest life.

DuraLabel keeps things simple. They provide unbeatable quality and save you money.

How do you know you are getting unbeatable quality?

A key reason is because with DuraLabel PRO supplies you are dealing with labeling experts who have a long history of supplying only the best equipment and supplies. Because with DuraLabel supplies you are dealing with labeling experts who have extensive R&D and quality testing departments. Because with DuraLabel supplies you are buying from a company that wants you as a customer for the next 100 years... and that means they must deliver quality--both in their products and their service--or you'll find a better dealer.

For example, the "obvious" answer is not always the right answer. Is bigger always better? Not when it comes to vinyl tapes. Thicker tapes mean more durable vinly, but it does not mean more durable labels. Thicker vinly tends to return to its original shape, curling to the shape it had when it was on a roll. The result are labels that don't print as well and that pull free (become unstuck) sooner. The best quality vinyl is more that optimizes vinyl durability and label durability. This happens at a vinyl thickness of 3.0 mil.
