PCB, labels, polyimide labels, printed
circuit board labels, and kapton labels

Printed circuit board labels (also known as polyimide label, kapton label, pcb labels) may require kapton label materials which can withstand process temperatures in excess of 250°C. These polyimide label or kapton label products, printed with the appropriate thermal transfer printer and thermal transfer ribbon, can survive a wide variety of fluxes, cleaners, and other chemicals, without lamination by a label lamination machine. Confused about kapton label material vs. polyimide label material? Click here. Polyonics' THERMOGARDŽ products provide the broadest cost/benefit choices available today, offering polyimide label, kapton label, modified polyimide label, and polyester label materials for barcode label applications. Harsh environment bar code labels can be produced with thermal transfer printers when matched with the appropriate thermal transfer ribbons without lamination by a label lamination machine.
