BarcodeFactory Specialty Label Materials
Tyvek Tags & Labels
Durable, lightweight, and flexible identification solutions made from high-density polyethylene fibers. Tyvek tags and labels offer excellent tear resistance and water resistance for a wide range of industrial and specialty applications.
What Are Tyvek Tags and Labels?
Tyvek is a strong, lightweight material made from high-density polyethylene fibers. Its smooth surface, flexibility, and resistance to tearing make it useful for applications where ordinary paper tags may not provide sufficient durability.
Lightweight Material, Dependable Performance
Tyvek combines the flexibility and smooth appearance of paper with the durability of a synthetic material.
It is resistant to water, tearing, and many types of everyday handling, making it a practical option for demanding identification needs.
One of the most recognizable uses of Tyvek is the durable identification and law tags commonly found on mattresses and upholstered products.
BarcodeFactory can help you explore Tyvek materials for industrial, textile, packaging, and specialty identification applications.

Choosing the Right Tyvek Material
The best material depends on how the tag or label will be used, including expected handling, moisture exposure, printing requirements, and service conditions.
If your application requires an adhesive-backed label, the adhesive construction should also be evaluated for the intended surface. For non-adhesive tags, attachment methods and material durability may be the primary considerations.
