High-Bond Polyester
High-Bond™ Polyester Label Media
Stays stuck to surfaces from -40 to 300 degrees; 5 colors!
Engineered for industrial applications, High-Bond Polyester features an aggressive adhesive ensuring labels remain fixed to surfaces in extreme-temperature environments. It is ideal for low-energy applications including powder-painted metal (heavy equipment, machinery) and plastic. High-Bond enables you to produce durable labels, informational graphics, and control panel markings for manufacturing applications. Due to its moisture-resistant liner that lays flat after printing, High-Bond is also perfect for doming and label alignment tabs. Available in clear, white, shiny silver, brushed silver, and matte silver—see below.
