Tyvek® label material

Tyvek® – what is it?

Tyvek® is neither paper nor film and is therefore a very special material: the non-woven fabric consists of rigid polyethylene fibers (HDPE) laid on top of each other and compressed as required. This creates a very high density fabric that is particularly resistant.

Thanks to its special structure and manufacture, Tyvek® is resistant to water, most chemicals, heat, cold and UV radiation. Therefore, the material is mainly used in areas with difficult conditions and demands on material and product. Applications include the production of protective clothing or sterile packaging for medical products, the construction industry, covers and weather protection, clothing and fashion accessories and many more.

Application areas for Tyvek® labels.

Because of its material properties, Tyvek® is particularly suitable for labeling chemical products and can be used in a temperature range from -20 °C to +80 °C. It is also ideal for cosmetic labels, as it is resistant to contact with water and oil and can be easily washed off. But labels made of Tyvek® are of course also ideal for labeling other products such as wine, craft beer or spirits. Thanks to its unique structure and properties, Tyvek® can be used universally in all industries and for all products. Tyvek is particularly suitable for labeling chemical products because of its resistance and robustness. Our chemical labeling page shows which materials are generally suitable for a chemical label and what options are available in terms of design.

Designing your Tyvek® labels

The unprinted material of Tyvek® has a slightly velvety feel. Because the individual fibers laid on top of each other are visible, the material appears as if it has been scooped. As unique as the material is, Tyvek® prints very well digitally. Finishes such as hot foil, protective varnish and embossing are also no problem. This means that your Tyvek® label can be individually designed and printed according to your wishes and ideas. After printing, the individual fibers are only visible if you look at them up close.
