3M Health Care Label Materials

Excellent for adherence to a range of HSE and LSE surfaces including plastic vials, 3M Health Care Label Materials are designed for added efficiency and reliability in health care settings. Facestocks including polyolefin, polypropylene and a range of coated papers deliver durability, destructibility for tamper-evident applications and conformability even around small diameters. Many of these label materials are designed to withstand autoclaving after application.

Adhesives are available to meet general-purpose healthcare device labeling as well as specific needs including resistance to flagging, adherence to polypropylene and polyethylene, fluid resistance and corrosion prevention.

A selection of liners includes polyester film, polypropylene laminated to kraft paper, supercalendered kraft and glassine for excellent die cutting and consistent label production.
