Lubricant Labels for Motor Oil & Industrial Fluid Manufacturers

Industrial-Grade Self-Adhesive Labels Engineered for Oil & Chemical Resistance
When your lubricant products face constant oil exposure, high temperatures, and harsh automotive environments, standard labels fail within weeks. ASAS Label delivers oil-resistant lubricant labels that maintain adhesion and legibility throughout product lifecycles—from manufacturing floor to automotive bay to consumer garage.

Why Lubricant Manufacturers Choose ASAS Label

Labels withstand direct oil contact, temperature extremes from -40°C to +150°C, and demanding automotive retail and workshop environments
Oil & Chemical Resistance
Maintains adhesion despite motor oil, gear oil, and hydraulic fluid contact. Withstands solvents, fuel, and workshop degreaser exposure.
Temperature Extremity
Stable from -40°C to +150°C. Performs in frozen storage, hot engines, and tropical warehouse conditions without degradation.
Automotive Retail Durability
Scuff-proof lamination withstands shelf friction, warehouse handling, and consumer garage storage while maintaining brand appearance.
API & Regulatory Compliance
Proper API donut and starburst display, SAE viscosity grades, ACEA specs, and bilingual GCC market labeling with ESMA compliance.

Premium Finishing Options for Lubricant Labels

Enhance shelf appeal and brand differentiation with advanced finishing techniques that combine aesthetics with durability
Metallic Foil Stamping
Three-dimensional effects create tactile brand marks up to 250 microns deep. Raised embossing or recessed debossing adds luxury perception to premium lubricant lines.
Gloss & Matte Lamination
Protective lamination provides oil-resistant barrier while enhancing visual impact. Gloss finish amplifies color vibrancy; matte delivers sophisticated touch and anti-glare properties.

Spot UV Varnish
Selective UV coating creates dimensional contrast by highlighting logos, product names, or key features with glossy raised areas against matte background.

Embossing & Debossing
Three-dimensional effects create tactile brand marks up to 250 microns deep. Raised embossing or recessed debossing adds luxury perception to premium lubricant lines.
Combination Finishing
Premium Combos
Metallic foil + matte lamination for luxury contrast
Spot UV + embossing for multi-sensory branding
Gloss lamination + gold foil for synthetic premium lines
Performance Benefits
Enhanced chemical resistance from lamination layer
Superior shelf differentiation from competitors
VW, Porsche, GM dexos, Ford WSS

Case Study: Premium Synthetic Motor Oil Brand

Challenge:
A premium synthetic motor oil manufacturer entering GCC markets needed labels capable of withstanding direct oil contact, extreme summer heat (50°C+ warehouse temperatures), and rough automotive retail handling. The brand required bold shelf presence to compete with established players, API certification display, and bilingual Arabic-English labeling across 8 viscosity grades. Previous label tests showed oil-wicking edge lift, faded graphics from heat exposure, and inconsistent color across viscosity families.
Solution:
Polyester substrate with oil-resistant acrylic adhesive
High-temperature rated materials (validated to +120°C)
8-color flexographic process with Pantone matching
Gold metallic foiling for "Full Synthetic" callout
Spot UV varnish over API certification marks
Gloss lamination for scuff resistance and easy cleaning
Bilingual layout (English-Arabic) with proper API symbol display
Color-coded borders for viscosity quick-identification
Results:
Zero label failures across 18-month testing including oil immersion (30-day motor oil exposure), high-temperature aging (+60°C for 90 days), and accelerated UV exposure. Labels maintained adhesion and graphics integrity through UAE summer warehouse conditions (+55°C ambient).
