Tyvek Labels

If you need tough but inexpensive labels and tags, Tyvek labels might just be the perfect solution. Even if you’ve never heard of Tyvek, you’ve probably come across it in your day-to-day life. From wristbands and law tags to house wraps, Tyvek is a material used across many industries. Tyvek looks and feels almost like paper but is actually a synthetic material made from high-density spun bound polyethylene fibers.

What Are Tyvek Labels?

Tyvek labels are flexible, tear-resistant labels commonly used in a variety of industries. Made from flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers, Tyvek labels are durable, waterproof, and resistant to chemicals. Tyvek labels offer a balance of toughness and flexibility that makes them a popular choice. 

Tyvek labels are known for:

• Durability: They are tear resistant and waterproof, making them a great choice for outdoor and industrial environments. 
• Chemical resistance: They are resistant to chemicals, oils, and moisture, which makes them ideal for labeling products exposed to harsh conditions. 
• Printability: Tyvek labels can be printed with various methods, including screen printing, flexographic printing, and certain types of digital printing. 

What makes Tyvek labels so great? Here are some of the benefits of Tyvek labels:

• Waterproof: Tyvek labels are impervious to water because of how small the fibers are. However, they are still breathable. With tiny cracks in the surface, water vapors can move through.
• Tensile strength: Tyvek labels are tear-proof. Although it is easy to cut the material, Tyvek won’t tear even when it’s been slightly damaged.
• Printable: Tyvek can be printed on by most kinds of printers, including inkjet and thermal transfer.
• Flexibility: Although it is extremely strong, Tyvek is also flexible enough to be rolled or folded.

Tyvek Stickers

Because it is so easy to work with as well as durable, Tyvek is a great option for stickers that will be exposed to harsh environments. Tyvek stickers are weatherproof and tear-resistant. At Coast Label, we can print Tyvek stickers in just about any shape or size you need.

Custom Tyvek Tags

Although Tyvek isn’t a woven fabric, Tyvek labels can be easily sewn into clothing or fabrics to show laundering instructions and provide warnings. Tyvek tags are highly durable as well as inexpensive.

Legal Compliance with Printed Tyvek Labels

Printed Tyvek labels are a durable solution for complying with labeling regulations. Because they are so durable, Tyvek labels remain intact and readable through manufacturing, shipping, and for the life of the product or textile. 

When using printed Tyvek labels for legal compliance, you must make sure the labels meet the regulatory requirements for your industry. Here are some general considerations when using Tyvek labels for legal compliance: 

• The information on the Tyvek labels must be clear, legible, and permanent. 
• Check your labels for accuracy, ensuring that all the relevant information is included. Depending on the product, you may need to include product identification, warnings, usage instructions, fiber count, regulatory symbols, or other mandated details. 
• Tyvek labels are known for their durability, but it’s a good idea to test the labels to ensure they’ll withstand the intended conditions. 

Because standards across different industries vary, it’s important to research and adhere to the relevant labeling standards in your industry. For example, for textiles, you’ll need to follow FTC regulations for labeling under the Textile and Wool Act. For products containing certain chemicals, California’s Prop 65 applies.

Fold Styles

Our Tyvek labels come in two different fold styles: straight cut and loop fold. Straight-cut Tyvek labels are cut into a square or rectangle with no folds, with printing on the entire surface of the label. You can opt for single-sided or double-sided straight-cut labels, depending on how much information you need to include. 

Loop fold labels, on the other hand, are printed to fold them in the middle. This space is left blank so that no text or graphics are lost in the fold of the label. Once folded, text is seen on both sides of the label. 

Flexibility

When it comes to Tyvek labels, sometimes you need a few different variations on a label design. Other label companies require high minimum orders for each version, which could leave you with an oversupply of Tyvek labels. At Coast, we offer the flexibility to print different versions of the same label design without the high minimum orders.

Color Printing

One of the benefits of Tyvek labels is how well the material retains printed text and imagery. Because of this, color printing works particularly well. Printed colors stay vivid and bright. Color-printed Tyvek labels work well to catch the eye and can be used for branding, color coding, warnings, or simply to draw attention. We offer printing of up to four different colors on our Tyvek labels.
