PolarTags

COLD-CHAIN DIRECT THERMAL LABELS

Labels Built for Cold Storage Performance

PolarTags labels are built to stay adhered and readable through freezing, moisture, and handling.

Engineered for Freezer Conditions
Built to Stay

PolarTags labels are evaluated in real packaging workflows to ensure performance after products enter cold storage.

APPLIES AT LOW TEMPERATURES

Reliable adhesion even when applied around 0°C on cold surfaces.

HOLDS STRONG AT -20°C

Engineered adhesives maintain a strong bond in long-term freezer storage.

PERFORMS ON COLD, DAMP, AND CHALLENGING SURFACES

Designed to stick to wet, frosty, and challenging surfaces including corrugate, plastic, metal and film.

RESISTS MOISTURE, ICE & CONDENSATION

Withstands moisture, ice and temperature swings without lifting or peeling.


Real Value. Real Results.

Reduce Costly Label Failures.

When labels stay stuck, your operations stay smooth. PolarTags helps you eliminate relabeling, reduce waste, and protect every product in your cold chain.

❌ WITHOUT POLARTAGS

  • Labels peel or fall off in the freezer

  • Products need relabeling

  • Labor and time wasted

  • Risk of errors and compliance issues

  • Higher costs across the supply chain

WITH POLARTAGS

  • Labels stay secure in freezing conditions

  • No relabeling or downtime

  • Save labor and increase efficiency

  • Ensure accuracy and traceability

  • Lower total cost of operations

REDUCE COSTS

Eliminate relabeling, reduce waste, and lower labor costs.

SAVE TIME

Faster operations with fewer interruptions and manual fixes.

IMPROVE ACCURACY

Keep labels in place for clear identification and full traceability.

REDUCE RISKS

Avoid compliance issues, delays, and customer complaints.

BOOST EFFICIENCY

Streamline your cold chain and keep your business moving.
