Tyvek® – What is It?
Tyvek® is neither paper nor film and is therefore a very special material: The material consists of hard polyethylene (HDPE) fibres, which can be stacked and compressed as desired. The result is a fabric that has a very high density and is particularly robust.
Thanks to its special structure and manufacture, Tyvek® is resistant to water, most chemicals, heat, cold and UV radiation. Thus, the material is mainly used in areas with straining circumstances and demands on material and product. Applications include, for example, the manufacture of protective clothing or sterile packaging for medical products, the construction industry, covers and weather protection, clothing and fashion accessories, and many more.

Applications of Tyvek® Labels
Due to its material properties, Tyvek® is especially suitable for labelling chemical products and containers and can be used in a temperature range from -20 to +80°C. The material is also suitable for cosmetic labels as it is resistant to contact with water and oil and easy to wash off. Tyvek® labels are also ideal for labelling other products such as wine and spirits. You see: Thanks to its unique structure and properties, Tyvek® can be used universally across all industries and for all products.
Customise Tyvek® Labels
The unprinted Tyvek® label feels slightly velvety. Since the individual fibres laid on top of each other can be seen, the material looks as if it has been scooped. As unique as the material is, Tyvek® can be printed easily using digital printing. Finishing options such as hot foil, protective varnish and embossing are no problem either. Your Tyvek® label can be individually designed and printed according to your wishes and ideas. After printing, the individual fibres can only be recognised on closer inspection.
