Can these media be recycled and made into new paper again?
Great question! I’m researching, and will report what I find.
Which material is best used for labels and stickers? I want a durable sticker. Is there a clear vinyl product that can be used for labels and white ink?
Hi Rob, thank you for your interest in LexJet. We have several options for labels, so I will have one of our specialists reach out to discuss these options with you.
