Printable Fabric Solutions

Durable care labels for apparel represent an important market for us. Our OEM customers use digital or hot stamp printing on our coated fabric media as part of a complete in-plant printing solution. Our label printer customers use high quality flexographic, offset, and letter press printing techniques on our coated fabrics and sell the labels directly to brand name apparel companies. We work with distributors in certain apparel markets. In addition, we provide heat seal adhesive coating for apparel labeling. Paper or film label materials cannot match the tear resistance, flexibility, heat stability, and aesthetics of coated fabrics.

Whether the requirement is for a more durable label or a unique labeling solution, the Printable Fabric Solutions group offers a variety of label stocks with PSA backings. Tag stocks of coated woven and non-woven fabrics are more durable and water resistant than paper and more aesthetic than most films.

We offer durable care label stocks that meet Mil Specs DDD-L-20 and Mil-DTL-32075 and that are available in colors established under Federal Standard 595C. These provide printer and label converters a robust labeling solution to meet the requirements of Federal contracts. Available with surfaces engineered for most commercial print technologies, the Military Fabric Label options all meet AATCC IIIA wash requirements.

The Printable Fabric Solutions group engineers coated fabrics for automotive and interior compartment labeling, which meet the flame retardant requirements of the automotive and air carrier regulations.

From wristband materials to cryogenic labeling, the Printable Fabric Solutions group offers coated substrates suitable for a variety of applications. Laser printable coated fabric can be converted into patient wrist bands or further engineered to meet specific requirements.

Whether digitally or manually marked, the coated fabrics maintain the print clarity and label integrity required by demanding labeling applications.
