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

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

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

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

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

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the label survive direct oil contact?

Yes. Our lubricant labels resist mineral spirits and petroleum distillates, survive workshop degreaser exposure, and are built to withstand direct oil contact without edge lift.

What temperatures do they hold?

They are stable from −40°C to +150°C: cold storage at −40°C to −25°C without embrittlement, ambient cycling from −10°C to +50°C, under-hood automotive heat at +80°C to +120°C, and factory-floor exposure to +150°C.

Can you display API and viscosity-grade information?

Yes — ISO viscosity grades, ACEA specifications and API certification marks, with bilingual Arabic–English GCC market labelling and ESMA compliance.

Do labels hold up to retail handling and humidity?

Yes. Scuff-proof lamination withstands shelf friction, and the constructions tolerate 85% relative humidity without label curling.
