With extra strong adhesive, abrasion and chemical resistance and their ability to survive under seawater for at least 90 days, along with their extreme temperature (-40°C to + 150°C) rating theyre ideal for harsh environments. They are also steam cleanable and adhere well to curved surfaces.Suitable for printing in most laser printers, the excellent print finish on these bright white labels is clear and sharp in both colour and black and white.Its never been simpler to design your own labels using our free template software, Avery Design & Print, where you can find a whole host of images and templates ready to use. You can also create your own by simply adding your own text or design to the label and print out. Its so quick and easy.Conformable labels are perfect for those more difficult labelling requirements. If you looking at a rounded product or an awkward contour dreading applying your label to it then do not fear, Avery conformable labels will tackle the job with no issues.Water-resistant labels stay intact when exposed to light moisture. This ensures no running of ink or disintegration. Perfect for use in areas where they are likely to come into contact with cool temperatures and small amounts of liquid.Labels within harsh environments need to be strong, and Avery Oil, dirt, and UV resistant labels are just that. Long-lasting in all environments and reliable for carrying important information.Resistant to chemical, abrasion, UV, water, and extreme temperatures (BS5609 SEC. 2 Certified - label remains adhered for at least 90 days in seawater).
This guide is for professionals and individuals needing durable labeling solutions for challenging environments. The key benefit is the labels' extreme resistance to abrasion, chemicals, water, and temperatures, ensuring information longevity. A caveat is their specialized nature, best suited for specific harsh conditions rather than general indoor use. These labels offer exceptional adhesion, print quality, and conformability, making them ideal for industrial, marine, or laboratory applications.

Troubleshooting
Labels not sticking properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For curved surfaces, press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application. Ensure the label has been exposed to optimal temperature conditions for adhesion (allow to acclimate to room temperature if stored in extreme cold/heat).
Print smudging or poor print quality
Verify that you are using a laser printer. If using a laser printer, ensure the printer settings are appropriate for label stock. Check for any dust or debris on the printer's rollers or drum.
Labels peeling after prolonged exposure
Confirm the environmental conditions are within the specified temperature range (-40°C to +150°C). Ensure the label is appropriate for the specific chemical exposure if applicable. Reapply with firmer pressure.
Difficulty feeding labels through the printer
Check that the label sheets are loaded correctly in the printer tray and are not damaged or bent. Ensure the printer's paper guides are adjusted properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Design your label using Avery Design & Print software or your preferred design tool. Ensure your design fits the 52 x 74 mm label dimensions.
Load the sheets into your laser printer according to the printer's manual, typically face-up or face-down depending on your printer's paper path.
Print your design. It is recommended to perform a test print on plain paper first to check alignment.
Compatibility:
Printers: Compatible with most laser printers. Not recommended for inkjet printers due to potential ink smudging.
Surfaces: Adheres well to a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, and painted surfaces, even when curved.
Care:
Cleaning: Labels can be cleaned with a damp cloth or by steam cleaning. Avoid using harsh solvents that are not explicitly tested for resistance.
Storage: Store unused label sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place to maintain adhesive quality.
