E-1233 — 2.5 mil White Paper Steam-Sterilization Label (−40 to 121 °C)

Overview

E-1233 is a 2.5 mil white paper label with a hot-melt adhesive, designed specifically for thermal-transfer printing. Paired with a resin or wax/resin ribbon it delivers strong stain and scuff resistance. The adhesive is reliable with strong tack across a wide range of surfaces — low- and high-surface-energy plastics, painted metal, powder coatings, polycarbonate and fibreglass — and the smooth, dimensionally stable facestock ensures easy die-cutting and clean printing. It performs from −40 °C up to 121 °C, including high-temperature steam sterilization.
