Toronto, ON — February 12, 2026 — DuraFast Label Company, a North American leader in on-demand printing solutions, has announced a major expansion of its industrial label portfolio, introducing a wider range of inkjet and thermal transfer labels engineered for manufacturing, chemical, logistics, and industrial applications.

As industries continue to automate and bring label production in-house, the demand for high-durability label media capable of withstanding heat, moisture, and chemical exposure has surged. DuraFast’s expanded selection offers businesses a reliable, customizable, and cost-effective way to meet labelling requirements without sacrificing print quality or compliance.

From machinery tags and product identification labels to compliance-driven chemical and safety stickers, industrial labelling is a cornerstone of traceability and efficiency. Yet many companies still rely on outsourced printing or low-grade materials that fail under harsh environmental conditions.

“Our clients in industrial manufacturing and logistics need labels that perform flawlessly under the toughest conditions,” said a DuraFast Label Company representative. “With this expansion, we’re providing advanced inkjet and thermal transfer materials that deliver superior adhesion, print clarity, and chemical resistance — even in extreme environments.”

DuraFast’s new label lineup includes synthetic, polyester, polypropylene, and vinyl substrates, each optimized for specific print technologies and applications. These labels pair seamlessly with high-performance printers from Epson, Afinia, Zebra, and SATO, ensuring complete compatibility and precision.

The new portfolio includes:
● Industrial Inkjet Labels: Designed for pigment and dye-based inkjet printers, these labels produce vibrant, fade-resistant images suitable for full-colour product labelling, barcoding, and branding. They are available in gloss, matte, and high-durability BOPP finishes.
● Thermal Transfer Labels: Engineered for applications requiring exceptional longevity, thermal transfer labels work with wax, wax/resin, and resin ribbons to deliver sharp, smudge-proof prints, with resin ribbons recommended for outdoor or chemical exposure.
● GHS and BS5609-Certified Materials: These synthetic labels meet global maritime and chemical labelling standards, ensuring compliance with GHS regulations.
● Custom Converting Options: DuraFast’s in-house label converting facility allows businesses to order labels in any size, shape, or core diameter to match their production requirements.

With this expansion, DuraFast now offers one of the most diverse label catalogs in North America, catering to industries that require both short-run customization and high-volume durability.

The new label options are designed to help manufacturers stay compliant with global safety and logistics regulations. Many of DuraFast’s thermal transfer labels are BS5609 Section 3 certified, guaranteeing resistance to saltwater, abrasion, and chemical solvents — a must-have for GHS chemical labelling and international shipping.

“Compliance and durability are at the heart of industrial labelling,” the company spokesperson added. “Our expanded product range allows businesses to meet these requirements while maintaining their brand’s professional look and performance.”

DuraFast also offers pre-tested ribbons and adhesives matched to each label type, ensuring optimal bonding strength and legibility across varied surfaces — from corrugated packaging to metal drums and plastic containers.

More than just a supplier, DuraFast Label Company acts as a solutions partner for businesses with unique labelling challenges. Its technical team works directly with manufacturers to determine the ideal combination of printer, label material, and ribbon for each use case.

For example:
● Heavy machinery manufacturers can use polyester thermal transfer labels for asset tracking and serial identification.
● Food processors benefit from inkjet polypropylene labels that withstand cold storage and condensation.
● Chemical producers rely on BS5609-certified synthetic labels for drum labelling that meet international transport standards.

This hands-on, consultative approach ensures that every customer gets a solution tailored to their environment and workflow — not just an off-the-shelf product.

With operations and warehouses in both Toronto, Canada, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, DuraFast guarantees rapid order fulfillment and technical support across North America. The company’s in-house label converting capabilities also allow for fast turnaround times and custom orders without third-party delays.

“Industrial production environments can’t afford downtime,” the representative said. “By producing and shipping from within North America, we ensure our clients have quick access to the labels and ribbons they need to keep their operations running smoothly.”

The expansion of DuraFast’s industrial label line reflects a broader industry shift toward smarter, automated, and eco-conscious manufacturing. As businesses adopt advanced systems like RFID, IIoT, and robotics, reliable labelling remains essential to traceability and operational intelligence.

“At DuraFast, we view labelling as an integral part of industrial automation,” the company spokesperson added. “Our goal is to deliver products that not only withstand harsh environments but also integrate seamlessly with next-generation manufacturing systems.”
