Custom Tire Labels
Tires are notoriously difficult to label due to their uneven surface as well as the physical properties of rubber. Whether you’re looking to label tires, rubber, or other difficult-to-label substrates, tire labels offer a strong bond for an application that lasts. Custom tire labels from Coast Label are made with a highly aggressive permanent adhesive that holds strong when other adhesives fail.
What Are Tire Labels?
Tire labels are labels that are engineered to adhere to tires, rubber, and other substrates like wood or carpet backing. These substrates can be difficult to label due to rough surfaces and other properties of the material.
Tire labels are made from a specialized paper that lasts through extreme conditions. Because rubber is difficult to bond to, tire labels use an extra strong adhesive. The specific adhesive used depends on the type of rubber. Common types of rubber on the market include natural rubber, silicone rubber, and EPDM rubber. Each type of rubber comes with unique properties that can affect which adhesive is best.
Some of the most common tire label adhesives include:
- Epoxy
- Cyanoacrylate
- Silicone
- Polyurethane
Our application specialists will work with you one-on-one to determine the right adhesive for your needs. We’ll consider the type of rubber as well as the environmental conditions of your application to help you engineer the perfect tire labels.

Best Uses
Rubber labels can be used in a variety of ways. These labels are durable and long-lasting for long-term use. Here are some of the best uses of custom tire labels:
- Branding: Include your company’s logo and other branding information on tires and other rubber products to catch your customer’s interest.
- Inventory management: Keep track of how many tires are in stock with tire labels that can be scanned for accurate inventory counts.
- Barcodes: Place 1D or 2D barcodes on automobiles, airplanes, bicycles, or other types of tires.
- Scrapyard: Label used tires with custom tire labels.
- Tracking: Keep track of tires, rubber, wood, carpet, and other tough products with tire labels.
- Tire lettering: Create custom tire lettering and logos with custom tire stickers.
When Not to Use
Custom tire stickers are extremely durable and work well for substrates that are typically difficult to label. However, there are circumstances where tire labels aren’t the best choice:
- Easy-to-adhere substrate: Unless your substrate is difficult to bond, you likely don’t need rubber labels. You can save money by choosing a weaker adhesive that will work better for your application.
- Temporary applications: Tire labels use a permanent adhesive that sticks for a long time. While they can be removed from rubber and carpet backing, rubber labels are not a great option for temporary use on other materials.
