Looking for feedback on Labels. The issue is that they fade in the weather and not sticking well. This came up at in innovate conference this year however, I can't recall the solution or the company that solved it.

I saw UV labels on Uline and I've heard of UV ink, but I'm not sure what type of printers is was for.
I've looked at a plotter before that used Tyvek paper and UV ink pellets specifically for outdoor use. That was with OSE.

I just put together a short buyer's guide to labels and printers for our website. It includes links to a public Amazon wishlist and might be helpful. Please forgive the breathless introduction, my marketing guy couldn't help himself.

Most durable thing I have found is a polypro label printed with resin using a thermal transfer printer. This is what we use in our weld shop and they hold up pretty well.

will show you some the different resins ribbons and their use cases. You can check Honeywell and a few others as well. This along with an appropriate UV/Weather proof stock will hold up to a pretty serious beating.
I worked with a guy at barcodefactory.com who was very helpful in picking something that worked for us. I recommend getting in contact with a supplier and let them know what you are doing so they can help you fin the best solution and you can get it on auto replenish. hope that helps.
