Challenge
IPG Photonics needed labels that could withstand tough manufacturing conditions—without peeling, fading, or failing when exposed to oils and frequent handling.
Results
With DuraLabel, the team achieved durable, professional labeling that stays in place and performs reliably across departments and applications.
Key Production
“We had more reliability in the [labels] adhering to the products.”
The Challenge
For IPG Photonics, product labeling is a necessary step in tracking, organizing, and presenting sophisticated laser systems. However, their previous labeling method created reliability issues. Labels often peeled or lost adhesion after exposure to oils or routine handling—causing delays, reprints, and inconsistencies. The team tested alternative solutions but found the results underwhelming. They needed a label that would apply cleanly the first time, stay in place, and maintain a professional appearance in demanding manufacturing conditions.
The Solution
By switching to DuraLabel Premium Vinyl Labels, IPG Photonics built a more dependable and professional product identification process. The labels are now used across multiple departments to:
- Print Long-Lasting Product IDs: Labels adhere securely the first time and maintain a clean, professional look.
- Resist Oil & Handling Wear: Materials are engineered for harsh industrial environments, standing up to oils, moisture, and frequent contact.
- Expand Usage Across Teams: Ideal for safety, product ID, and general labeling across diverse workflows.
- Reduce Label Failures: Eliminate reprints and manual fixes caused by peeling, fading, or smudging.
We were exploring other options, but we were not satisfied with their final product. — Michael Hoffman
