In some cases, labels have to provide clear, legible information, while holding aggressive or corrosive substances
So to be thoroughly effective, they must be chemical resistant and, in some cases, capable of withstanding months in water.
To ensure the highest resistance to chemicals, labels should be printed with UV inks or protected (varnished) toners. Xeikon uv-inks avoid the need for further laminates. Sunlight protection (for applications exposed to sunlight) is an additional benefit.
Chemical labeling uses a broad range of substrates, from coated paper to synthetic substrates. Xeikon’s different print technologies perform well on all types of substrate or can be optimized with a standard corona treater.
Some 13,000 chemical drums are lost at sea per year. Xeikon printed labels (toner and UV ink) are compliant with BS5609 standards and can withstand 3 months in the sea or friction against sand. Once found, authorities know what is inside and who to contact.
You don’t tell your customer how you print your labels. You just make sure that whatever run length they order, you deliver labels at the best price. This is where Xeikon comes in.
Your customers are on the lookout for new ideas, and you answer their call. Creativity is what you are proud to bring to the tablet. Consider innovative combinations such as variable content, lottery possibilities and more. You inspire clients as a valued supplier, becoming their main business partner.
It has never been easier to include digital label printing in your existing activities, even as a novice. Whether it be to expand a printing house’s commercial offering or to satisfy a brand owner’s need for labels, Xeikon provides a reliable and extensive self-adhesive label solution.
In some jobs, delivery time is the absolute priority. The key to speed is to simplify and automate as much as humanly possible. End-to-end Xeikon solutions enable some of the fastest turnaround times on the market and offer a healthy ROI.
Labels with variable content come in many forms: variable images, numbers, codes and also a blend of all these. Their purpose can be to serve high-level security applications or to enable quicker flows in logistics supply chains. Our unique solution provides optimal results to target precisely this goal.
You started in labels with an entry-level machine, but now it’s time to offer your customer more. To fully grasp the business and its creative potential, owners looking for better margins opt for a system that provides extended capabilities.
Drum labels must conform to strict specifications laid down by the GHS. Xeikon meets these conditions while allowing for variable data such as barcodes, QR codes or serial numbers.
For safety reasons, pesticide labels must comply to strict regulations and remain perfectly legible over time, even when stored in harsh conditions.
Light-fastness and chemical resistance are two of the criteria required for oil labels, which is guaranteed by the use of lightfast dry toner.
