FAQ
How do we prevent label lift on dusty sack surfaces?
High-tack LSE-compatible or hot-melt adhesives + filmic faces are recommended. Ensure the surface is as clean/dry as possible before application and apply firm pressure.
How do we reduce fading and wear outdoors?
Use UV-resistant ink systems with additional protective varnish/lamination. In high sun/rain regions, PET lamination may be preferred.
What is the minimum size for CLP/GHS pictograms?
Square pictograms with a red frame on white background; for visibility the short side is generally ≥16 mm. Larger may be used based on pack size.
Which ribbon/ink suits variable data for chemical resistance?
Resin ribbons are typically recommended. Always validate ribbon–label compatibility in field tests.
How can we fit multilingual instructions?
Use booklet/peel-read constructions to increase content area while keeping critical warnings on the outer panel.
