The Hidden Benefits of Blockout Labels

Ensuring confidentiality and protecting critical information has become paramount in today’s digital era. Have you ever found yourself struggling to hide sensitive or unwanted information on documents or products? A simple but effective solution may be the use of blockout labels. Blockout labels are adhesive labels with a unique opaque design engineered to completely mask, obscure, or conceal existing information on the underlying surface.

Often used in a multitude of industries, these special labels are applied to enhance privacy, maintain regulation compliance, boost security, rebrand, and protect and redact sensitive and confidential information.

Diverse Applications

• Personal Privacy Protection: Blockout labels are applied to documents containing sensitive personal information, such as identification numbers, addresses, or medical records, to conceal them from unauthorized access.
• Financial and Government Data: These labels are crucial in preventing identity theft on forms and documents by obscuring sensitive personal identifiers, such as social security numbers and bank account details.
• Retail and Packaging: Blockout labels are used to fully cover existing information on price tags, barcodes, or branding elements, eliminating the need for complete repackaging or reprinting.
• Shipping and Logistics: When applied to shipping packages, blockout labels mask barcodes, tracking numbers, old addresses, or other sensitive information, safeguarding privacy during transit.
• Inventory Management: Blockout labels are essential when relabeling, categorizing, or repurposing inventory. By covering outdated barcode numbers or product details, they ensure that old information doesn’t interfere with tracking or sales processes.

Unique Construction

• Manufactured in layers consisting of a durable face stock, a highly opaque blockout layer, a strong adhesive, and a protective release liner.
• Tailored construction to ensure maximum opacity, durability, and effectiveness in blocking out underlying data.
• Offered in a wide range of sizes and premium materials, each chosen for its specific level of durability and opacity. 
• Blockout opaque component or layer is embedded in the label’s top coating, face material, adhesive, or any combination of the three.
• Die-cut into standard shapes such as rectangles, squares, and circles, or custom shapes to meet specific application requirements
• Engineered with a printable surface. Print new information, such as replacement details, instructions, or branding, as old information is no longer visible. These labels can be printed using inkjet, direct thermal, or thermal transfer printers, depending on label material compatibility. 

The importance of safeguarding information is pivotal in an increasingly connected world. Blockout labels provide a simple yet effective solution for protecting personal privacy, ensuring legal compliance, and keeping sensitive information secure. Incorporating Blockout labels into your everyday operations is a smart and essential choice. You can add an extra layer of protection that keeps your confidential details safe, one label at a time.
