Label Printers.!

[Boyan Silyavski]

Yes Boyan would look lovely but would be right Bitch to stick on plastic 5ltr container . .

My fault should have made more clear the usage of the label.

if the container is glossy i know of a way to stick them to industrial standard that will hold to acetone and stuff. No good if the surface is not glossy. A quality double tape, but not like in the shops. If that's the method you choose i will check what was the exact 3m model that works on curved shapes and the one on flat shapes is thinner


But one of the proper ways to mark plastic is with thermal marking tape and you can easily figure out a simple manual variation of the thing on video , basically a solder gun that heats a plate that heats the transfer tape:

Wayyyyyyyyyy too complicated and expensive. This needs to be done for pennies per label and stuck on in under 3sec's with no machinery involved.
Simple label is all thats required. Just needs to be cheap, stick and not easily wiped off and think I've found the answer in this laser setup. But thanks for the suggestions.

The only thing I can think of which approaches the original stated requirements are the Zebra plastic lablels which are rated for cryogenic and lab samples combined with a resin transfer roll but you'd need a Zebra or similar thermal printer for that.
Does laser print stand up to MEK and Acetone?

Not completely Nick but still quite good. However MEK and Thinners are only small percentage of the products being labeled so laminating will be done on those. Main reason I mentioned MEK, thinners was to get across I wasn't requiring your average Sticky label.
