| Tyvek® Applications |
 |
 |
|
Tags and labels |
|
Think about it! There are tags or labels on almost everything you touch today and most need to withstand heavy use, tough weather and constant handling. Tyvek® is a lightweight durable solution for every tag and label application. And for those with intricate bar code and variable information printing, Tyvek® Brillion® offers a smoother, more uniform surface. Following are some of our primary applications:
|
 |
|
Plant tags
Durable and weather resistant. They remain on the plants from the nursery through processing, packaging and into the retail trade.
|
|
|
|
Clothing tags, mattress tags
Soft and strong. They can be sewn or glued without losing strength - they last as long as the items they are attached to.
|
|
|
|
Golf tags
Moisture resistant. They can be written on with pencil or pen, even in wet weather.
|
|
|
|
Luggage tags
Tough and puncture resistant. They withstand rough treatment of luggage handling systems.
|
|
|
|
Wristbands (event guests, hospital patients, fitness, ...)
Safe, soft, secure. They cannot be transferred from one person to another without damage.
|
|
|
|
Warning labels
Tear and abrasion resistant. They protect important details and specifications.
|
|
|

Tyvek® can also be used as self-adhesive labels for:
|
|
|
food packaging |
|

pharmaceutical products |
|
|
electronic equipment |
|
|
RFID labels. |
|
|
|
|
Banners and signs |
|
Advertising is everywhere. That's why your banners and signs need to stand out. That means strikingly vibrant colours to break through the clutter and all-weather durability is required. Wide format signs and banners made of Tyvek® are solutions to help your advertising get noticed and remembered.
Lightweight and strong, Tyvek® is suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications where vinyl is too heavy. Coated Tyvek® styles are inkjet printable and because Tyvek® is 100% recyclable, it offers a real alternative to PVC banners.
|
|
|
Indoor banners, posters and displays
Lightweight, easy-to-read. They are colourful and easy to handle, with a smooth, non-glare surface.
|
|
|
|
Outdoor banners and signs
Durable and fade resistant. They can withstand the toughest weather conditions while retaining their good looks (when light-fast inks are used).
|
|
|
|
Rolling displays
Thin, light and flexible. They allow additional advertisement space, won't wear out when rolled and unrolled repeatedly.
|
|
|
|
|
Racing numbers |
|
In the wet, in the cold, in the heat and harsh conditions, racing numbers made with Tyvek® have proved their ability to last and stay visible. Tear and abrasion resistant, Tyvek® racing numbers remain very flexible and are comfortable to wear during the race thanks to their light weight, high-tear resistance and breathability.
