Put Durable Labels to the Test in the Armis Innovation Lab.
Every label application comes with its own performance demands. The Armis Innovation Lab is built to test for them. Our in-house team evaluates materials, adhesives and print performance against application-specific conditions, including heat, chemicals, abrasion, UV exposure and challenging surfaces. Through hands-on testing and validation, Armis gives customers greater confidence in material selection, custom constructions and durable label performance before moving to production.

Real-World Conditions. Real Results.
We simulate the toughest environments and analyze every phase of label performance to proactively uncover challenges and find long-lasting solutions.
Application-Specific Testing
Every environment is different and we test like it. Our labs replicate real-world conditions like surfaces, materials and weather, helping ensure label accuracy, functionality and visual integrity in the field.
-
Adhesion to curved, textured or low-surface-energy substrates.
-
Durability on metals, plastics, powder-coated or treated surfaces.
-
Compatibility with ink systems and thermal transfer ribbons.
-
Liner performance during die-cutting, application and dispensing.
-
Lifecycle testing to assess fading, curling, tearing or delamination.
Reliability Tests
We compress time to predict long-term performance. Through accelerated aging and stress simulations, we reveal how labels perform over months or years – identifying potential points of failure and helping optimize construction before deployment.
-
Thermal aging to simulate years of heat exposure.
-
Mechanical flexing and abrasion to test physical durability.
-
UV exposure to measure resistance to fading or material breakdown.
-
Edge-lift and adhesive fatigue over prolonged use.
-
Lifecycle simulation under combined environmental factors.
Functionality Analysis
Labels must do more than stick. They must remain legible, scannable and intact throughout their intended life and beyond. Our functionality testing evaluates how a label performs under stress, ensuring critical content stays readable and construction holds up in everyday use.
-
Barcode and serial number retention under abrasion or exposure.
-
Protective laminate endurance through repeated handling.
-
Adhesion under fluctuating moisture, oils or chemicals.
-
Print clarity after environmental or mechanical stress.
-
Evaluation of structural integrity during flexing, impact or use.
Extreme Environmental Conditions
For labels used in the harshest applications, we replicate those extremes in a controlled lab environment. These tests validate durability under environmental forces that would break down standard labels – providing assurance your labels won’t fail when conditions shift.
-
UV and solar exposure for outdoor and high-light conditions.
-
Salt spray for corrosion resistance in marine or industrial settings.
-
Chemical soak and wipe tests for acids, fuels, oils and solvents.
-
Freeze-thaw and thermal cycling for temperature fluctuation resilience.
-
High humidity, submersion and condensation exposure.
