01 / LAB
LAB Cryogenic Label Materials
T629 liquid-nitrogen labels, T459/T509 self-laminating, T429/T439 freezer labels and T329/T319 refrigerated labels, in four combinable temperature zones.

Seven product lines, organised by material system and application. Establish the substrate and service conditions first, then narrow down to facestock, adhesive, ribbon and die-cutting.
PRODUCT LINES
Seven product lines, from material to finished label
The material determines print quality, the coating and adhesive determine solvent performance, and die-cutting determines how smoothly the label runs — the product lines are organised by use case, so selection is more direct.
02 / GENERAL
General-Purpose Label Materials
Coated paper, direct thermal paper, PP synthetic paper and PET polyester, covering thermal transfer, direct thermal, laser and inkjet printing.

Quick selection by scenario
Establish the service temperature, then the substrate surface and service life, then the print method and machine format. T-prefixed codes are material codes (T7 for cable marking); TFM/TWP/TFT are cable-label product numbers.
| Application | Service temperature | Recommended material / series | Facestock structure | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biobank / cryovials | -196 °C | T629 | Nylon cloth + permanent acrylic | Immersion in liquid nitrogen; fits 1.8/2.0 mL cryovials and microcentrifuge tubes |
| Ultra-low freezer / strain tubes | -80 °C | T419 / T429 / T439 | PET polyester + low-temperature adhesive | Long-term storage; coloured borders for batch differentiation |
| Microplates / conical tubes | -196 °C to -80 °C | T459 / T509 | Self-laminating | Overlaminate protects the print area; suits repeated handling and wiping |
| Logistics / retail | -20 °C to 50 °C | T101 and other coated paper materials | Coated paper + rubber / acrylic | Cost-first choice for standard barcodes and waybills |
| Outdoor / damp / tear-resistant | -40 °C to 90 °C | PP synthetic paper materials | PP synthetic + permanent acrylic | Water and tear resistant; replaces paper labels |
| Electronics / solvent resistance | -40 °C to 150 °C | T401 and other PET materials | PET polyester + acrylic | Resists alcohol and oil; dimensionally stable |
| PCB reflow | 260 °C peak | PI polyimide material | PI + high-temperature adhesive | No deformation through reflow; anti-static options |
| Cable / wire marking | -40 °C to 150 °C | T7 range (T701/T703/T709/T730) + T506 | Tags / cards / heat-shrink / self-laminating | Choose the structure by wire diameter and fixing method |
| Equipment plates / assets | -40 °C to 300 °C | Aluminium base / metallised material | Aluminium / metallised PET | Laser marking or weather-resistant printing |
| Flame-retardant / halogen-free | -40 °C to 135 °C | Flame-retardant polyester material | Flame-retardant PET / polyolefin | UL and ROHS reports available |
