DuraFast 4" x 6" 7.5 MIL Valeron® Thermal Transfer Tags | 916/Roll | No Hole | HONEYWELL E12982 Compatible

Premium Industrial Thermal Transfer Printable Tags

DuraFast 4" x 6" 7.5 MIL Valeron® Thermal Transfer Tags deliver exceptional durability and printability for the most demanding industrial applications. These high-performance tags are specifically engineered for thermal transfer printing and are fully compatible with all industrial thermal transfer label printers. For optimal print quality and durability, DuraFast recommends using a wax/resin ribbon or full resin ribbon. The thermal transfer process creates permanent, high-resolution text, barcodes, and graphics that resist smudging, fading, and chemical exposure—ensuring critical information remains legible throughout the product lifecycle. Whether printing sequential numbering, variable data, or complex barcodes, these Valeron® tags provide consistent, professional-grade results on both sides of the film.

7.5 MIL C2S Valeron®: Superior Strength & Printability

DuraFast 7.5 mil C2S Valeron® represents the pinnacle of high-strength film tag technology, providing enhanced printability on a substrate built for extreme durability. Valeron® is a cross-laminated high density polyethylene (HDPE) film manufactured through a proprietary cross-lamination process that imparts excellent strength and tear resistance in all directions—unlike conventional films that weaken along a single grain. This unique construction can be identified by the distinctive cross-hatch pattern visible on the film surface. Users should note that this cross-laminated structure may yield some level of wrinkles within the manufacturing process—a natural characteristic of this high-performance material that does not compromise structural integrity. Valeron® provides superior chemical resistance with one year outdoor durability, significantly outperforming standard synthetic tag stocks. This film is uniquely printable with thermal transfer on both sides (C2S—Coated Two Sides), maximizing versatility for applications requiring dual-sided information or sequential processing.
