Design & Tolerance Best Practices
- Account for Adhesive Build-Up
Consider adhesive thickness and substrate when designing for recessed or tight-fitting parts. - Plan Critical Markings in Advance
Barcodes, safety icons & compliance data should be defined early to ensure proper sizing. - Uniform Surface Preparation
Ensure substrates are clean, dry, and oil-free to maximize adhesive strength and print clarity. - Rounded Corners
Rounded edges on labels and plates reduce peeling and improve long-term durability. - Maintain Readability at Scale
Design with contrast and font size that remain legible even in small form factors. - Avoid Excessive Curvature
Flat or gently curved surfaces ensure proper adhesion and longevity of labels. - Select Proper Material
Choose metals, films, or plastics suited to your operating environment—outdoor or sterile conditions.
