OverviewOur B-494 polyester label is a reliable solution for sample identification and traceability in laboratory and medical environments. The label adheres and remains legible after exposure to chemicals and during cryogenic storage in liquid nitrogen. Subsurface printing preserves colour codes against fading, smearing and smudging, ensuring long-term sample recognition.
