Car Care Labels

We manufacture labels for all types of car care products, but typically they are for car shampoos, wheel and tyre cleaners, glass cleaners, interior cleaners, leather cleaners and conditioners, car waxes and polishes, clay bars, engine degreasers, chrome and metal polishes, rubber and vinyl protectants, carpet and upholstery cleaners, bug, tar, and sap removers and headlight restoration kits to name but a few.

Car cleaning product labels should display the product name, brand, usage instructions, safety precautions, ingredient list, manufacturer’s contact information, and any regulatory compliance symbols. They may also include disposal instructions, production and expiration dates, and barcode or QR code for product identification and tracking.

In the UK, car cleaning product labels must comply with the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation, which mandates the display of hazard pictograms, signal words, and hazard and precautionary statements. Additionally, they should adhere to the Detergents Regulation, ensuring the listing of ingredients, particularly for products with surfactants. Compliance with these regulations ensures consumer safety and environmental protection. It’s advisable to consult with legal experts or relevant authorities for comprehensive compliance guidance.

The most common face papers used for car cleaning product labels include polyester, vinyl, and polypropylene (PP). Polyester is popular because of its durability, chemical resistance, and ability to retain print quality under harsh conditions. Vinyl is valued for its flexibility, water resistance, and enduring adherence, especially on curved or irregular surfaces, making it a versatile choice. On the other hand, polypropylene is a cost-effective option that offers a good balance of chemical and water resistance, suitable for a variety of car cleaning product labelling applications. It’s important that the material is capable of withstanding environmental challenges such as exposure to chemicals, water, and UV light without degrading. As part of our service we will help you determine the right material for your products.

Selecting the appropriate label adhesive is a pivotal step in ensuring the labels on your car care products remain intact and informative. If not adhered securely, labels may become detached, posing a risk of vital information being unavailable to consumers at the point of purchase and beyond. The consequence could be that consumers lack essential information about the product.

The market offers a diverse range of label adhesives tailored for various environments, including permanent, semi-permanent, removable, repositionable, and temperature-specific adhesives. The environment in which a product will be used should significantly influence the choice of label adhesive and materials. Car cleaning products and car detailing items are predominantly used in wet and damp conditions therefore the label adhesive should have the required strength when in contact with water. It’s also important that labels remain legible and free from smudging during use.

Permanent adhesives is the most popular choice for car care products. They benefit from high initial tack, strength, and enduring adhesion. However, extremely challenging conditions, akin to those encountered in the industrial chemical industry, may necessitate specialised adhesives. We provide specialised adhesives engineered to withstand corrosive chemicals, abrasive grit, UV rays, and wet conditions, ensuring your labels remain securely affixed and legible, come what may.

Elevate your car care products with our tailored label finishes, designed to endure automotive rigours while showcasing your brand’s quality. Opt for the vibrant Gloss Finish to capture attention, or the refined Matte Finish for a sophisticated, glare-free look. The Semi-Gloss Finish offers a subtle shine, blending elegance with readability. For added protection against UV light, our UV Coating ensures your labels retain their brilliance, while the Laminated Finish, available in gloss, matte, or semi-gloss, offers robust protection against water, oil, and chemicals. Lastly, our Varnished Finish enhances durability and adds a touch of sophistication, making your products the go-to choice for discerning customers.
