Custom Water Sensitive Sticker Paper
All water sensitive sticker papers provided by VIZLENT can be customized by matching the exact aqueous-sensitive coating and face stock to the customer’s needs.
We can also print the customer’s logo or warranty text directly onto the indicator. Additionally, we can die-cut the material into the specific shape or size the customer requires.
We can also adjust the chemical coating sensitivity based on the customer’s application environment to avoid false triggers in humid areas.
We provide premium irreversible and reversible liquid contact indicator materials to customers globally. We maintain a large inventory of standard white-to-red water sensitive jumbo rolls so we can slit and ship promptly.
Wholesale and Personalize Your Water Sensitive Sticker Paper
We can create a custom top coat on the water sensitive sticker paper to allow for your logo or serial number printing. The top coat protects the printed ink from smudging while allowing the water to pass through to the chemical indicator layer below. We support UV flexo, letterpress, and thermal transfer print compatibility.
We provide a wide variety of release liner options for your water sensitive materials. These include standard glassine, white kraft paper, and PET clear liners. We can match the liners to your high-speed automated label application equipment to minimize web breakage during production.
Due to the water sensitive nature of the sticker paper, VIZLENT follows a specialized and strict packaging procedure.All products are stored in climate controlled storage facilities. This method provides moisture free and consistent storage for your water sensitive materials prior to shipment to minimize the risk of moisture damage to the products.
Irreversible Water Sensitive Paper is made using a unique chemical dye layer that permanently stains the face stock when it comes into contact with water. Once activated, the irreversible indicator paper cannot be restored to its original state. Due to its permanence, irreversible indicators are the preferred choice for use in electronics warranty validation and insurance claims.
Use Cases for Water Sensitive Stickers
Used to detect liquid exposure to sensitive internal wiring harnesses and engine control unit enclosures. The detection of water exposure allows technicians to immediately diagnose and fix problems that occur during regular maintenance or after a flood event.
Used for detecting if electronic components have been damaged due to liquid exposure. When the sticker becomes wet and the user touches it, the sticker indicates liquid exposure and therefore, the warranty becomes void.
Used for detecting if packages were damaged due to liquid exposure. If the sticker becomes wet, then the user knows that the contents of the package may be damaged. Therefore, this type of sticker is great for companies that ship items to remote locations where weather conditions may vary greatly.
Used for detecting if there is liquid exposure to the battery pack. If the sticker becomes wet, then the user knows that the battery should not be used. This type of sticker is great for companies that produce lithium-ion batteries.
Production Capacity
In order to manufacture water sensitive sticker papers, a highly controlled environment is required.
Coating Machines: Precision Coating Lines
Our coating machines apply the aqueous-sensitive dye layer and the high tack adhesive with precision and extremely small thickness to a dust-free, humidity-controlled clean room environment.
Slitting and Rewinding：
We utilize high-speed automatic slitting machines to cut the master rolls down to the precise width that our customers request, without causing any damage to the water sensitive edges.
Rotary Die Cutting：
Equipped with high-speed die cutting machines, we are capable of punching millions of 3mm indicator dots per day. The dots are punched out onto continuous release liners for immediate use on automated factory floors.
Warehouse and Storage：
Our raw material and finished goods storage warehouse maintains a climate-controlled atmosphere, and utilizes 24 hour industrial dehumidifiers and temperature controllers to maintain the highest level of humidity control. This maintains the stability and inertness of your water sensitive materials until shipment, reducing the risk of receiving defective or pre-triggered products.
