Product Overview

We manufacture custom water-soluble and dissolvable labels for wash-off processes, returnable containers, industrial cleaning and temporary identification. Depending on the construction, the label may dissolve into water or release from the surface during a defined wash process. Face material, adhesive, ink, holding period and dissolution behavior are selected according to water temperature, pH, agitation, wash duration, storage humidity, surface and required removal level.

Product Features

Controlled Water Response

The material and adhesive are selected for the required balance between dry holding time and wash-off or dissolution behavior.

Wash-Process Matching

Water temperature, pH, agitation, spray pressure, wash duration and drying conditions can be reviewed before production.

Surface and Holding Compatibility

Construction can be reviewed for glass, stainless steel, plastic, coated surfaces and other substrates with a defined holding period.

Readable Temporary Identification

Labels can include instructions, batch information, serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes and other fixed or variable data.
