Tire Labels

With our unique adhesive solutions, it has never been easier to eliminate tough tire labeling challenges. Specialist labeling technology is necessary due to the rough, low surface energy of a tire. Our adhesive labels are created to meet the performance requirements of automotive tire labeling because our adhesive is rubber-based, pressure sensitive and extremely aggressive. Our labels are durable, remain intact when applied to tread and are ideal for long-term application on tires.
We produce two adhesive labels for tire applications – a 2 mil (50µ) white metallized polyester label and a 3.3 mil (85µ) whitegrey backed cast polypropylene label. Both have a high coat weight, aggressive rubber-based adhesive and a double-sided siliconized, white SC glassine release liner.
The higher adhesive coat weights are application specific – a key advantage when considering summer vs. winter tires or hairy vs. shaved tires. Additionally, the high level of shatter resistance allows for one-piece label removal, and the gum pattern at the edges eliminates bleeding. We also offer optional siliconization on the back-side of the label to prevent it from sticking to the release liner.
Each tire tread label has a white printable surface designed for UV flexographic printing, and each performs well on flatbed printers. Both our polyester and polypropylene versions have excellent opacity and resistance to staining as well as superb heat and abrasion resistance. When required, these labels also provide superior thermal transfer printability.
