Seawater-resistant inkjet labels on sheets or rolls

Self-adhesive labels for inkjet printing systems, on rolls or A4 sheets, in your desired format

In the past, laser printers were usually used as printers for seawater-resistant labels with hazardous substance content.

Technical advances in inkjet printers – from small desktop models to high-capacity industrial printers – have meanwhile opened up a wide spectrum of industrial applications. These colour printers are of particular interest for creating GHS labels.

British Standard-certified HERMA labels are also available for these inkjet printing systems (on sheets and rolls).

With the professional inkjet printers for labels on rolls, variable imprints, hazard symbols in colour and different texts are all possible and individually printable, even for small runs and a wide range of types, with no storage necessary. These printers are particularly well suited for printing colour labels. This produces seawater-proof inkjet labels with print results of high colour brilliance and consistent print quality, at high speed and just-in-time. The print image is smudge-proof and waterproof thanks to the special coating on the film labels’ surface. The adhesive is temperature-resistant and offers best adhesion even on critical surfaces. These labels also repel oil and dirt.
