EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Label Film For Asset Tag & Barcode
1. Overview
EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Label Film is a professional-grade, self-adhesive photoluminescent material specifically engineered for the production of high-quality safety labels, barcode stickers, and instructional decals. Utilizing advanced strontium aluminate technology, this glow-in-the-dark label film provides an autonomous light source that ensures critical information remains legible during power failures or in low-light industrial environments.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of the global safety market, this label film combines thin-profile flexibility with industrial-strength adhesion, making it the ideal substrate for both manual application and automated labeling systems.
2. Key Features
- Professional Self-Adhesive Performance: Features a high-performance, permanent acrylic adhesive that bonds instantly to low-surface-energy plastics, powder-coated metals, and glass.
- Superior Printability: Optimized for a wide range of printing technologies, including Thermal Transfer (TTR), Silk-screen, UV Offset, and Digital Solvent printing.
- Exceptional Afterglow: Exceeds DIN 67510 Class B, C, and D requirements, providing a high-intensity initial burst and a sustained visible glow for 8–12+ hours.
- Dimensionally Stable: Low-shrinkage construction ensures that labels maintain their shape and edge integrity over long-term service life.
- Durable & Resistant: Resistant to water, mild chemicals, and mechanical abrasion, ensuring the printed message and the glow effect remain intact.

4. Primary Applications
- Safety & Warning Labels: Creating “Caution,” “Danger,” and “Exit” labels for machinery and electrical panels.
- Asset Management: Luminous barcodes and QR code labels for tracking equipment in dark warehouses or storage holds.
- Instructional Decals: Operating instructions for fire extinguishers, emergency valves, and medical kits.
- Consumer Electronics: Decorative and functional branding for remote controls, switches, and device ports.
- Marine & Aviation: Low-level lighting labels for cabins, cockpits, and emergency equipment locations.
5. Processing & Printing Recommendations
- Printing: For thermal transfer printing, use high-quality resin ribbons to ensure maximum durability and chemical resistance.
- Cutting: The film is easily kiss-cut or die-cut. Due to the high pigment density, carbide-tipped blades are recommended for high-volume production.
- Application: The surface should be clean and dry. A minimum application temperature of $+10^\circ\text{C}$ is recommended for optimal initial tack.
6. Safety & Durability
- Non-Toxic: Free from radioactive elements and phosphorus.
- Service Life: 5–10 years for indoor applications; 3–5 years for protected outdoor use.
- Recharging: Charges indefinitely without degradation of the photoluminescent crystals.
