Tags & Labels 

If you bar code it, tag it or label it, there’s an existing printing material made for you – Teslin synthetic printing substrate. Teslin substrate is a super-tough, microporous sheet with performance characteristics your current paper or plastic material just can’t provide.
Whether you’re a systems engineer in need of a material made for today’s highly sophisticated scanning equipment, a marketing director looking for a label that gives you a competitive edge, or a production engineer looking for a unique material that meets a unique or rugged demand, Teslin substrate is the material for you.
 
Made for Bar Codes
Inks adhere extremely well to Teslin substrate due to its highly microporous structure. This means that bar codes and messages printed on Teslin substrate are functional much longer than those printed on other materials. Teslin substrate is also waterproof, solvent-resistant, tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant.
 
Compatible with Every Printing Process
Teslin substrate adapts to virtually any printing process. You can print fixed information via offset or flexo, and then print variable information – including bar codes – with thermal transfer, laser or ink jet. Inks dry on contact. Or select a specialty grade of Teslin substrate to complete the entire process in one pass, such as Teslin SPID substrate for color laser printing or Teslin Digital substrate for printing on Indigo and Xeikon engine machines.

Teslin substrate delivers the features that tag and label producers look for:
