Full-color laminated vinyl. VERY strong adhesive, outdoor-rated.
Stronger-tier tags trade the paper-thin profile of the Strong tier for real outdoor durability and full-color printing. The 5-mil vinyl base accepts a full-bleed digital print, then we laminate it with a clear matte overlaminate that protects the artwork from UV, scuffing, mild chemicals, and water. The result is a tag that can carry your logo, brand color, barcode, and serial number, and still look new five years later on outdoor equipment.

Stronger-tier FAQ
What is the overlaminate for?
The overlaminate is a clear protective layer applied over the printed surface. It absorbs UV, resists scuffing and chemical splash, and prevents the printed image from being scraped off. Without overlaminate, even premium ink fades under sustained outdoor exposure.
Can Stronger tags go on textured plastic or powdercoat?
They will bond to most smooth or lightly-textured surfaces. For heavily-textured plastic, deep powdercoat, or low-surface-energy substrates like polyethylene and polypropylene, choose the Strongest tier, which uses a thicker 3M 467 adhesive engineered for those surfaces.
How small can the print go?
Full-color digital printing on Stronger-tier vinyl resolves down to 6-point type and 13-mil 2D barcodes reliably. For dense data, we recommend 1" x 0.5" or larger.
