Jeff & Toni,

     I work for Brady Worldwide and we sell label materials for
     circuit board processing.  We currently offer 2 materials that
     may be of interest to you.  Both materials are thermal transfer
     printable.  They are designed to withstand the SMT reflow
     environments but not able to survive bottom side molten wave
     solder from PTH processing. The label pricing for booth of these
     materials is below the standard pricing of polyimide (kapton)
     labels.

     The two materials are Brady's B458 and B475.  B458 is a
     polyetherimide film and B475 is what we call a high temp
     polyester. If your interested in getting some samples to test in
     your application give our customer service department a call. The
     number is 1-800-537-8791.

     Hey group!
       Hoping you could send some info our way regarding labels that
     can withstand the reflow temps and process. We are aware of the
     standard capton labels, but is there anything else out there that
     is CHEAPER?? that can perform well enough thru this process
     (i.e., no shrinkey, no curlies, no un-attachies?) Please forward
     any vendor contacts or material types you have used with success.
      Thanx in advance.
