What is Vinyl?
STRYKER vinyl labels and decals are a durable and highly customizable solution for multiple industrial and product uses.
Vinyl labels have long been a mainstay solution because of their excellent chemical, tear and moisture resistance. They are manufactured to withstand harsh conditions and often are weather– and UV-resistant for up to 3 to 5 years. Vinyl has great stamina against moisture, grease, extreme temperatures, abrasion and caustic substances.
The biggest benefit of vinyl labels is how well they adhere to curved surfaces. The high level of conformability makes vinyl an ideal option for labeling tanks and drums, vehicles and agricultural equipment.
Vinyl is also a good middle of the road material when need for durability and price sensitivity meet.
