Frequently Asked Questions

- Cost: Higher.

- Minimum Order Quantity: Higher.

- Lead Time: Longer.

- Applications: Ideal for main labels, supporting four-side folding only, not suitable for center folding.

Why does ink fade while silicone does not?

- Reasons for Ink Fading:

1. Ink consists of pigments, resin, additives, and solvents.

2. Pigments may oxidize or decompose due to external factors such as light, oxygen, and humidity.

3. Resin can become unstable under changing conditions, affecting color stability.

- Reasons for Silicone’s Resistance to Fading:

1. Silicone is composed of a siloxane chain with exceptional chemical stability.

2. Its molecular structure resists light, oxidation, high temperatures, and chemical corrosion.
