High-Tack Polyester Labels

A high-tack adhesive is an especially aggressive pressure-sensitive glue that creates a strong, immediate bond on contact with a surface. Unlike standard adhesives, high-tack formulations adhere reliably to difficult substrates such as powdercoated metal, rough plastics, corrugated materials, and oily or contaminated surfaces — making them ideal for permanent industrial labeling applications where label removal or failure is unacceptable.

Yes. High-tack polyester labels from Shield and Supply are engineered to resist a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and cleaning agents. The polyester face stock itself is inherently durable and non-absorbent, while the aggressive adhesive maintains bond integrity even when exposed to oils, fuels, and industrial cleaning solutions commonly found in manufacturing and warehouse environments.

High-tack polyester labels are designed for challenging surfaces including powdercoated metals, painted steel, rough plastics, textured walls, pipes, and equipment enclosures. Their aggressive adhesive provides reliable bonding on surfaces where standard labels may lift or peel, making them ideal for pipe marking, equipment identification, compliance labeling, and asset tracking in industrial facilities.

Yes. High-tack polyester labels printed with LabelTac® printers can be produced to meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910, GHS HazCom 29 CFR 1910.1200, ANSI Z535, ASME A13.1, NFPA 70E, and other regulatory standards. The included LabelSuite™ software provides pre-built compliant templates to ensure your labels meet applicable safety and hazard communication requirements without specialized design expertise.

Yes. Shield and Supply's LabelTac® industrial printers support on-demand printing of custom high-tack polyester labels directly in your facility. Using the free LabelSuite™ software, you can design labels from scratch or use pre-built compliance templates, then print exactly the quantity you need — eliminating minimum order quantities, long lead times, and excess label inventory.

High-tack polyester labels produced with LabelTac® printers are rated for 5–10 years of indoor or outdoor service life. The polyester face stock is scratch-resistant, waterproof, and UV-stable, while the high-tack adhesive maintains its bond through temperature extremes, moisture exposure, and chemical contact — making these labels suitable for both indoor compliance applications and outdoor equipment identification.
