Sure; there is a good assortment of vendors in the replies I've collated below.

Hi Ralph,

We've used Par Code Symbology, Inc. for years. I've always been happy with their barcodes.

At Boston College we use a company called NTI Data out of Goffstown, NH.

The research labs here are regularly adding and removing labels in an effort to keep lab and stock room inventories up to date.

Hope that helps.

We are looking into this right now too. I found this vendor
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.labtag.com&d=BQIGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=SPbx1BkP3fJD5xgz5MsnEDtknliXSXGk-6GEZJEx9Mg&s=BPCzWOlpTw-jTrXOnWf00rYv3uYGVTYVusk4-joYWNM&e=
that claims to have barcodes that are chemical resistant:

Anybody used them and have any comments?

We use BarTender with Vert̩re, and Zebra 2844.Z with the appropriate labels (sorry, don"t have the number off the top of my head) that have been perfect for our needs. Please let me know if you"d like any details. These labels completely fit the bill!!

We had good luck with Chemdura labels coupled with a chem resistant resin printer ribbon. These might satisfy your first two requirements, but #3 might be a little more challenging.

Hi Ralph,

My Dymo labels https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.officedepot.com_a_products_591778_DYMO-2DLabelWriter-2D30330-2DWhite-2DReturn-2DAddress_&d=BQIGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=SPbx1BkP3fJD5xgz5MsnEDtknliXSXGk-6GEZJEx9Mg&s=I0GZFvZfHylGobRedUwAbx2eeWsBHTmVgH-__OPp8og&e=
are lasting 10+ years, are pretty good at chemical resistance because they are thermal labels, and peal off easily over time from my glassware, plastic bins, and poated coated shelving (not so well from my magnets). I have been using them for the 14 years that I have been doing this.

For #3, we've been using Kimdura piggyback labels which are really easy to remove without ripping the label. I don't know if they will last 10 years, since we've only been using a bar code system for our inventory for 2 years (but they've lasted that long, and they have been chemically resistant in that time as well).

We purchased our labels from Tracking Solutions
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__trackingsolutions.com&d=BQIGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=SPbx1BkP3fJD5xgz5MsnEDtknliXSXGk-6GEZJEx9Mg&s=UVX7sZuRMd0Ch0UEI1TDINedIkInAreBy1dRyh05WGo&e=

We use a company called Adazon. Our rep is Rachel A. Snyder

For Placing Order, Quotes & Samples Call 800-305-7343 or email sales**At_Symbol_Here**adazonusa.com

The labels that we use meet criteria 1 and 2; however, they are designed to stay attached for a long time. A scraper should remove the labels.
