Plastic articles for laboratories/labware have a significant presence in the market and are becoming increasingly popular thanks to technological improvements that have contributed to the development of new plastics with properties that confer special characteristics such as autoclavability, physical resistance to treatment with some acids, heat resistance and better transparency. The labware industry is dedicated to the supply of technical articles for laboratories such as graduated and calibrated beakers, cylinders and jugs. In this sector, different plastic materials are used such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, as alternatives to glass for their lightness, resistance, economy and safety capable of giving the products the characteristic of unbreakability in addition to compatibility with various laboratory chemicals.
Digital transfer printing machines allow the graduation of such articles within a wide range of sizes and materials also with embossed graduation and also on articles having the handle such as jugs in a simple and extremely flexible way.
