Performance Features

Durable label stocks for your toughest applications
Unlike vinyl (PVC), polyester (PET), polypropylene and other label stocks, the unique microporosity of Teslin substrate locks toners into the label stock, rendering printed information impervious to scrapes, scuffs and other damage for reliable and versatile durability. Other durability benefits include:

• Protection against water, steam, ice and extreme temperature exposure.
• Resistance to chemicals, solvents, tears and abrasions.
• Broad thermal stability range; will not crack in a freeze-thaw environment.

Printable and versatile
Teslin label stock is compatible with a wide range of print processes, including inkjet, laser and thermal transfer for on-demand and variable data printing. Other print and versatility benefits include:

• Print-readiness right out of the package; most synthetics need corona treatment, sapphire or other coating for digital print technologies.
• Ability to take the heat of digital laser printing applications (most synthetics may actually melt).
• Static dissipation to reduce potential static discharge when removing label liners (which could potentially ignite chemical and solvent vapors in certain manufacturing environments).
• Supports all industry standard conversion techniques, including rolls, pin feeds, die cuts, sheets, fan fold and more. 
• Bubble-free application.

Bondable
The microporos in Teslin label stock enable multi-dimensional bonds reducing risk of adhesive failure and:

• Long-lasting adhesive bond that endures extreme conditions.
• Strong bond with microsphere, low-temperature, high-temperature, food-grade and medical-grade adhesives.

Inherently secure
Offering built-in tear-resistance and durability, Teslin label stock also enhances the security of printed text through its ability to absorb and lock in inks and toners with no additional processing or expense. Security benefits include:

• Tamper-evidence by permanent distortion if alteration is attempted.
• Deterrence from peeling and repurposing.
• The ability to be manufactured with security features embedded in the material for program-specific applications.
