Don't Settle For Second Best (Or Worse)

When it comes to DuraLabel supplies, there is only one supplier to go to when you want the best value, quality, experience, knowledge and service. This has been demonstrated recently concerning the question of labeling tape thickness. Is thicker tape better? What factors are import when it comes to tape durability?

If you know labeling tape, and how vinyl and adhesives work, then you know that thicker is not always better.

Thicker vinyls can take more direct physical abuse. This is known as "body damage." That's why thick tapes are used in applications in which there will be a lot of physical abuse, such as floor marking tapes receive.

However, thicker tapes have many disadvantages. The chief disadvantage is their high edge profile. The thicker edge makes it easier for the edge to be pull up. Even if the edge pulls up by a microscopic amount, this is enough to break the seal and allow air, moisture and chemicals to get at the adhesive. The result is that the adhesive starts breaking down and the label fails.

For a label to have a long life requires the optimum vinyl thickness to be used. That's why DuraLabel uses 3.0 mil vinyl. It provides excellent resistance to the physical abuse (body damage) labels typically receive, while also providing a low profile edge that resists peeling. The result is a long life label.

I used to watch the Tool Time TV show. Tim Taylor always wanted "more power". In his mind bigger was always better. And every week he had to relearn the lesson that bigger is not always better. That's the lesson to be learned with vinyl labeling tapes. Labeling experts, such as the folks at DuraLabel, know that bigger is not always better. They know that the best label material must take into consideration a variety of factors that all contribute to long life. It's not simple. There are many more factors involved than "body damage" and edge thickness. That's why you should be purchasing your supplies from the experts... the experts at DuraLabel.
