Low-Temperature Label Solution for Frozen Food

1. Overview of the plan

In the fields of cold chain logistics, healthcare, fresh food, and chemical raw material storage, low-temperature environments (such as frozen warehousing, cold chain transportation, refrigeration and preservation, and low-temperature reagent storage) pose special requirements for identification labels. Common self-adhesive labels are prone to issues such as adhesive layer cracking and detachment due to freezing, substrate hardening and embrittlement, and blurring and fading of printed text, making them unable to meet the long-term stable identification needs in low-temperature environments. Xuzhou Huaishi has been deeply involved in the field of self-adhesive label customization for many years. Addressing the identification pain points in low-temperature scenarios, we have launched a dedicated low-temperature label customization solution. This solution relies on the selection of low-temperature resistant substrates, matching of antifreeze adhesives, low-temperature stable printing processes, and a full-process quality control system. We provide customers with customized low-temperature self-adhesive label products that are adaptable to temperatures ranging from -60°C to room temperature, resistant to condensed water and frost cracking, securely attached, and clearly identifiable. Coupled with one-stop technical support and services, we assist customers in achieving clear asset identification, precise product traceability, and standardized process control in low-temperature environments.

2. Core customization advantages

• Precise adaptation across the full temperature rangeBased on the temperature range of specific customer application scenarios (conventional low temperature: 0℃~-20℃; medium-low temperature: -20℃~-40℃; extreme low temperature: -40℃~-60℃ and below), we customize exclusive low-temperature self-adhesive labels solutions. We select core low-temperature resistant substrates such as low-temperature PET, special synthetic paper, antifreeze copperplate paper, and low-temperature kraft paper, paired with specialized adhesives such as antifreeze pressure-sensitive adhesive, low-temperature hot-melt adhesive, and silicone adhesive. After undergoing antifreeze curing treatment, the labels are ensured to remain adhesive, edge-free, non-brittle, and non-deformable in long-term low-temperature environments, maintaining durable and clear identification information.

• Anti-condensation and freezing designAddressing issues commonly encountered in low-temperature scenarios, such as condensed water, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and low-temperature humidity, we optimize the waterproof and breathable combination of substrates and adhesives. By applying a waterproof coating, we enhance the label's resistance to condensed water erosion and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring strong adhesion and clear identification even in complex scenarios such as temperature fluctuations during cold chain transportation and high humidity and low temperature in frozen warehousing.

• Low-temperature stable printing processUsing various low-temperature resistant printing processes such as flexo printing, low-temperature digital printing, and screen printing, combined with imported low-temperature and freeze-resistant ink, it supports various printing needs such as single color, multiple colors, logo patterns, QR codes, barcodes, and variable data. The printed content undergoes low-temperature curing treatment, ensuring that it does not fade, blur, or become erasable in extreme low-temperature environments, thus ensuring accurate identification of the marking information.

• Full-dimensional personalized customizationSupport personalized design for label size, shape, and die-cutting process - customizable in various forms such as ultra-thin (suitable for narrow and low-temperature packaging), irregular shape (fitting irregular product surfaces), round corners, right angles, continuous roll packaging, single sheet, etc.; support value-added processes such as laminating (waterproof glossy film/matte film), varnishing, die-cutting and waste removal; can print corporate LOGO, product batch number, traceability code, storage temperature requirements, safety warnings, and other information according to customer needs, meeting customer brand display and standardized management requirements.

• Brand-level quality assuranceXuzhou Huaishi has established a dedicated quality inspection system for low-temperature self-adhesive labels. All customized products undergo multiple rounds of rigorous testing, including low-temperature bonding aging test (simulating continuous operation under actual low-temperature conditions for over 72 hours), anti-condensation water test, freeze-thaw resistance test, and adhesion test. The product pass rate is over 99.8%. At the same time, relying on a mature production supply chain, we ensure consistency in mass production and stability in delivery.

• One-stop full-cycle serviceXuzhou Huaishi provides a full-cycle service encompassing "demand research - scheme design - sample production - mass production - logistics and distribution - on-site debugging - after-sales maintenance". Our professional technical team provides one-on-one communication to gain a deep understanding of the specific pain points of customers' low-temperature scenarios (such as temperature fluctuation range, fitting substrate type, environmental humidity, labeling requirements, etc.), and offers targeted solutions. The sample production cycle is 3-7 working days, supporting customers with on-site low-temperature environment testing and verification. After delivery, we provide technical support such as label fitting guidance and common problem resolution, responding to customers' after-sales needs 24/7.
