Durability of Labels is Important
Label durability does matter. The life of a label is rarely easy, with labels enduring a ceaseless barrage of attacks.

Ultra-Destructible Labels – How They Work
While a lot of your labels are required to be indestructible, destructible labels also have their place. Use ultra-destructible labels to spot evidence of tampering, deter theft, and prevent item swapping, rebranding, or counterfeiting. Destructible labels cannot be removed in one piece, so they cannot be reused. They fragment easily, so it is difficult to […]
