Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Duty Self Adhesive Labels

1. What are heavy duty self adhesive labels made of?

Heavy duty self adhesive labels typically use a polyester (PET), polyimide, or vinyl face stock combined with a high-tack acrylic adhesive. Kingcolor uses a 2.5-mil PET film with a cross-linked acrylic adhesive for maximum peel and shear strength.

2. How do I choose between permanent and removable heavy duty labels?

If your label stays for the product lifetime (e.g., asset tags, engine plates), choose permanent (≥ 12 N/25mm peel). If you need to remove without residue (e.g., rental equipment, reusable containers), choose removable (< 5 N/25mm). We offer both with same-day sample shipping — request a sample kit.

3. Can you print custom shapes, barcodes, and serial numbers?

Absolutely. Our factory supports flexo, digital, and screen printing with variable data (barcodes, QR codes, serialization). Die-cuts can be as complex as ±0.2mm precision. Minimum order quantity: 10,000 labels.

4. Do you have UL-recognized or FDA-approved constructions?

Yes. We offer UL-recognized adhesive systems for electrical equipment labeling and FDA indirect food contact papers and adhesives upon request. Please share your application for a compliance review.

5. What are the shipping times to the USA and are there hidden import fees?

We ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — that means the price includes all duties, taxes, and freight to your warehouse. Typical ocean freight from Shenzhen to LA is 8-10 days, with air freight options at 3 days. No hidden fees.
