Which pricing gun labels are best for extreme climates such as freezers or high humidity?
All pricing gun labels are made with adhesive that is designed to stick to a variety of products. In fact, pricing gun labels often come with security slits to enable removal, illustrating just how difficult it is to remove standard labels. More often than not, removing a pricing gun label is a bigger concern than getting it to adhere and many manufacturers, such as Monarch, sell a sharp edge tool specifically designed to remove pricing gun labels from products. Additionally, some pricing gun manufacturers offer partial gum adhesive so that a portion of the pricing label can be removed without disturbing the rest of the label. Partial gum label adhesive is primarily used with larger pricing labels, such as 2 or 3 line labels, and is particularly advantageous for retailers who want to change the price of an item while leaving store or other information intact.
Regardless, there are some conditions, such as freezers or high humidity, which can test the strength of even the strongest pricing label adhesive. To combat this, many pricing gun and pricing label manufacturers offer a variety of optional adhesive specifically designed to withstand extreme conditions.
Freezer-grade adhesive is designed to withstand extreme cold and is ideal for frozen foods. Garvey and Meto each offer optional freezer-grade adhesive on their pricing gun labels, while Monarch pricing labels use a general adhesive that will withstand extreme cold.
Another area of concern is high humidity. This is a concern for greenhouses or other retailers that display items outdoors during the summer. Many manufacturers offer a stronger grade of adhesive on their pricing gun labels which will withstand high temperatures. Meto offers optional high adhesive on their labels, Garvey offers a permanent adhesive, Primark’s labels come with a multi-purpose option and Monarch’s general adhesive pricing labels will adhere in all temperatures.
Regardless of which pricing gun label you choose, make sure to review all of the adhesive options and evaluate the climate conditions in which your products will be displayed before purchasing your pricing gun labels.
