Technical data sheets for materials: real specifications for every label
If you need the real technical data for a material — temperature range, adhesive type, grammage, solvent compatibility — you will find it here. A technical data sheet lets you validate that the material we propose is right for your process before you place the order.

PETprint 125 µm — Hang tags
Polyester film with no adhesive or liner, with a neutral coating on both sides. Designed for those who need to print the material directly — laser or thermal transfer — and convert it afterwards. High dimensional stability.
When the label has to survive +200 °C and polypropylene cannot reach that temperature, this white PET is the alternative. High-temperature acrylic adhesive, highly opaque and with 25 % recycled content.

44 µm matt silver metallised PET with permanent S697 adhesive and FSC-certified release liner. The reference for a resistant metallic finish from −40 to +90 °C in automotive and electronics.
Matt white cast PP prepared for outdoor Water Inkjet printing. The UV1P adhesive withstands sun exposure and is approved for food contact. The option when the printer is inkjet and the label is going outdoors.
-20 °C to +50 °C Water Inkjet UV-resistant hot-meltSun resistanceIndirect food contactOutdoor · tested for over 2 years
Gloss white PP with permanent hot-melt adhesive. If the label goes into a cold store — or is applied directly in cold conditions — this material keeps its adhesion and legibility. For food products in a continuous cold chain.
-40 °C to +60 °C TTR Permanent hot-meltRecyClass · FSC
Opaque white PP with high-tack hot-melt adhesive (45 N loop tack). If the surface you need to label is rough, porous or difficult — such as a tyre — this material holds where others do not.
Matt white PP for Fast Inkjet with high-tack adhesive. Adheres to glass, metal, plastics and difficult surfaces without needing prior treatment. Common in luggage, medical labelling and packaging.

White PP film with a thermal coating for printing without a ribbon. The A10 water-based acrylic adhesive keeps its bond even in cold and damp conditions, and is approved for direct food contact.
-15 °C to +60 °C Direct thermal Food contactCold · Humidity
150 µm high-density polyethylene film: tear-resistant, does not absorb moisture and certified for direct food contact. Common in food and cold-chain logistics printed by thermal transfer.

Matt calendered vellum paper with SP123 super-permanent adhesive — a permanent bond with no clean removal — and GA62 amber glassine release liner. Withstands −20 to +80 °C; compatible with toner and TTR, and approved for food contact. The versatile reference for logistics and indoor use.
Top-coated thermal paper free from BPA and BPS, with rubber hot-melt adhesive and cream glassine release liner. FSC Mix Credit certified and ISEGA-approved for indirect food contact; the standard reference for food and pharma.

ARGIPRINT° · KPK 842
KPK 842 — up to 200 °C
Hang tag that withstands up to 200 °C in process. Copes well with dirt and contact with industrial oils. Suitable for identifying parts on heat-treatment or paint lines.
Hang tag for processes between 200 °C and 320 °C. Withstands heat-treatment ovens and paint and curing lines without losing legibility. The alternative when the KPK 842 does not reach the required temperature.
The highest thermal-capacity reference in the ARGIPRINT° range. Withstands up to 500 °C in short exposures — designed for steelworks, heavy forging and industrial ceramics, where conventional materials fall short.

Materials with visible tamper evidence. They leave visible, irreversible evidence of any attempt at removal. Warranties, seals and asset control.

Destructible
If someone tries to remove it, it breaks into fragments — there is no way to reuse it or reapply it without it being noticed. Widely used for sealing equipment and components.
When the label is peeled off, a visible chequerboard (VOID) pattern remains on the surface, making it clear that someone tried to remove it. Cannot be reused.

Cryogenic
Designed for samples going into liquid nitrogen or extreme cryogenic conditions. The adhesive and face material keep their bond and legibility down to -196 °C, withstand up to 10 freeze/thaw cycles and survive steam sterilisation in the autoclave at 121 °C. The standard reference in laboratories, pharma and biobanks.

When a standard adhesive will not stick — untreated PE, PP, PTFE, oily or textured surfaces — a specific formulation is needed. These references solve the cases where a conventional adhesive fails. Tell us about your surface.
A combination of face materials and adhesives for environments with several requirements at once: humidity, temperature, abrasion and chemicals. If your application combines more than one of these factors, it is worth analysing together before choosing the material.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about material technical data sheets
Answers to the most common questions before selecting a material or requesting a sample.
How do I know which material I need for my process?+
The three key factors are: the surface it will be applied to (metal, plastic, glass, cardboard), the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, chemicals) and how long the label needs to last under those conditions. With that information we can recommend the right material and adhesive without prior testing in most cases.
Can I download the complete technical data sheet for a material?+
Yes. Detailed technical data sheets for each material are available on request. Let us know which reference you are interested in and we will send it by email, along with the safety data sheets where applicable.
Do you carry out adhesion tests before confirming an order?+
Yes. In applications where the surface or process raises questions —low-energy materials, textured surfaces, severe thermal cycles— we send samples so the customer can validate adhesion on site before starting production. This is the usual step in automotive, chemicals and metals.
What is the difference between acrylic, rubber and high-tack adhesives?+
Rubber adhesive gives immediate tack and is the most economical option, but loses resistance under heat, solvents and prolonged UV exposure. Permanent acrylic is the most widely used in industry: resistant to chemicals, moderate heat and outdoor exposure. High-tack adhesive (hot-melt or epoxy) is used on difficult surfaces or when a permanent bond with no possibility of removal is required.
Can you supply the same material in different formats: rolls, sheets and flat stock?+
Yes. Most materials in the catalogue are available on rolls (for thermal transfer and direct thermal printers), in A4 or A3 sheets (for compatible office and laser printers) and as flat stock for manual applications or short runs. Ask us about the format that suits your printing process.
