Engineered for Endurance

Durability is undoubtedly the name of the game for every business, but one might say the moniker is especially apt for ImageTek Labels, a PCM Company. This Springfield, Vt.-based company is a manufacturer and distributor of custom-printed and blank label media, print ribbons, lamination supplies, thermal transfer and direct thermal printers, laminators, and finishing equipment. The 12-year-old company has carved a robust niche providing custom label services to manufacturing engineers who require pressure-sensitive, laminated informational, and instructional labels that must endure harsh settings, such as high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and flammable environments. One flagship offering is its "Survivor Series" label lines, which are reported to withstand temperatures of 1,100 °F and beyond. Additionally, because another division of ImageTek Labels assembles printed circuit boards in high-temperature climates, the firm brings specific understanding of label requirements during the reflow and wave solder processes.
