Thermal Transfer 5" x 7" 3MIL Polyolefin Labels with Aggressive Permanent Adhesive
Durable Polyolefin Labels Built for Harsh Environments
When you need labels that can withstand real industrial wear, these 3MIL polyolefin thermal transfer labels deliver outstanding performance. This white, polyolefin-based, clay-coated film is engineered for demanding conditions—offering the durability and print clarity you need for warehouse, drum, outdoor, and high-contact applications.
Compatible with Leading Thermal Transfer Printers
This polyolefin material is designed to be compatible with thermal transfer printers from Zebra, Godex, Toshiba, SATO, TSC, and Honeywell. The clay-coated surface helps support sharp thermal transfer imaging for barcodes, logistics labels, and long-term identification in challenging environments.
What Can You Use Polyolefin Labels For?
Polyolefin labels are ideal when you need durability beyond paper—especially in environments prone to moisture, abrasion, grease, or dramatic temperature changes. These 5" x 7" labels are a strong fit for:
- Drum and barrel labeling
- Large-format warehouse and logistics labels
- Outdoor identification and weather-exposed applications
- Industrial packaging and inventory control
- Cold storage and temperature-variable environments
- Grease-prone areas, including certain food-related settings
Why Polyolefin Is a Top Choice for Thermal Transfer Printing
This polyolefin film is waterproof, tear-resistant, and built to resist temperature fluctuations. It is also grease-resistant and suitable for food contact applications. With good UV resistance and weathering characteristics, it can perform outdoors for up to 2 years in appropriate conditions. The material is stable on a continuous basis up to 160F, remains flexible down to -40F, and features a minimum application temperature of -10F.

Aggressive Permanent Acrylic Adhesive for Industrial Surfaces
These labels feature a Permanent/Aggressive acrylic adhesive that is ideal for industrial applications requiring strong, dependable bonding. It provides excellent adhesion to painted metal, polyolefin, and fiber drums in all weather conditions, making it a proven choice for drum and barrel labeling. This adhesive also complies with FDA 21 CFR 175.105.
Excellent for Warehouse Floor Labels with Label Armor
These labels are an excellent choice for warehouse floor labels. When paired with our Label Armor protector cover labels, you can create a heavy-duty floor labeling solution designed for demanding facilities. This combination can provide a warehouse floor label system that lasts up to 3 years, helping maintain clean, consistent organization in high-traffic environments.
Recommended Large-Format Printer: Godex HD830i
Printing large-format labels requires a printer built for wide media and consistent industrial performance. The Godex HD830i printer is a great option for producing large format warehouse labels, drum labels, and other wide-format identification applications where durability and readability matter.
Ribbon Required for This Polyolefin Label
A wax/resin ribbon and/or resin ribbon is required to print on this 3MIL polyolefin material. For the best durability—especially for demanding warehouse, drum, or long-term industrial applications with the Godex HD830i—we recommend the Zebra 8.66"x984 ft R510HF Ultra Durable Resin Ribbon. This is one of the strongest ultra-durable resin options available for maximizing scratch, chemical, and handling resistance on synthetic label materials.
