Waterproof Matt White Polyethylene Labels
Polyethylene Waterproof Labels On A4 Sheets For Laser Printing – BS5609 Approved – Permanent Adhesive
Polyethylene is a flexible and durable label material with a range of applications, particularly for hard, rigid surfaces. MWPE labels are weatherproof and commonly used in wet or damp conditions, both indoors and outdoors.
MWPE has a permanent, acrylic based waterproof adhesive which conforms to BS5609 part 2 for marine immersion. This material is not suitable for printing with water-based inks and is only compatible with laser printers. (They can be printed on with certain pigment based inkjet printers, but would recommend testing a sample first for suitability.)
We offer a wide range of waterproof labels for all applications.
MWPE labels are made to order* and are dispatched 1 – 3 working days after your order is placed.

What Can Matt White Polyethylene Labels Be Used For?
Polyethylene is generally chosen over Polyester due to its pliability; the strong adhesive and pliable material is ideal for curved or uneven surfaces. Chemical drum labelling is a major user of this product which also has the benefit of BS5609. Commonly used outdoors or in wet / damp conditions so wheelie bins, bathroom, kitchen or garden products. Also, a good product for signs within construction, engineering or maintenance companies, where they are subject to changeable weather conditions. Wristbands for hospitals or festivals.
Garden Centres, Bathroom & Kitchen Product Manufacturers, Wheelie Bins, Chemical Industry, NHS, Event Companies, Outdoor Use
Suitable for a wide range of outdoor and robust labelling requirements especially haz-chem labels, where longevity and durability are required in a digitally printable material. Specifically designed for use on ‘hot fusion’ printer systems (laser & copier machines).
