Most labels you see are made from paper, peel and stick, similar to a band-aid. Labels have a multitude of uses, they're great for organizing things and marking the belongings of different individuals, as well as warning anyone of something dangerous that should not be touched or handled. From Filing records for bookkeeping to marking whose cup belongs to who, labels are extremely useful items. But because they're often made of paper these labels are very susceptible to the elements, especially water and sun. Water will make the ink run and disintegrate the paper over time, weakening the adhesive at the same time and allowing the label or sticker to lose contact. The sun will fade any writing on a label and bake the adhesive until it's too weak to hold properly anymore, rendering it useless. Both of these elements are a death knell for labels and avoiding this problem right from the start is the best route to take when possible.
A solution for this problem comes in the form of vinyl stickers, this tough material is similar to plastic, durable and waterproof in itself and available with various laminating techniques that will protect any message written on them, protecting them from moisture and the harsh rays of the sun. There's also a myriad of uses for these waterproof stickers and labels. You can label many many sealed items that are to be submerged, such as food and drinks packed in a cooler or placed in water. Picnics, Barbecues and camping trips can be made so much easier with this simple addition to help organize your packing. These stickers can also be put on boats, canoes, kayaks and any kind of water-bound vehicle that will be exposed to frequent moisture, these labels can also be numbered and lettered for easier organization and tracking, even sequentially numbered if desired. This is a great feature for electrical boxes, tools and parts that need to be kept track of in a work setting.
A super-strong adhesive applied to these stickers makes them especially useful for lawnmowers and any kind of equipment that is exposed to the weather frequently or all the time. Thanks to its super-strong adhesive the stickers will always stick, even on tough exterior surfaces that a paper label would never stick properly too.
Another benefit of waterproof vinyl stickers and labels is that the inking is done with UV protected ink, this fade-resistant compound helps preserve any numbers or letters throughout the life of the label.
And what a life some of these labels can have! Some will last three to five years as is with extra laminated stickers going for upwards of seven years before needing to be replaced.
Overall these waterproof stickers and labels are probably the simplest and cheapest way to make a big difference in your organization in your home, on the lake or in your workplace. You won't have to worry about losing track of the same things seemingly all the time with this simple, helpful tip!
