Our asset labels aren't holding up to regular cleaning, weather exposure, and day-to-day operations. Has anyone found a solution that significantly reduces replacement frequency?

I run a facilities maintenance business and we have equipment, tools, and machines moving between jobs every day, our asset labels go through regular cleaning, weather, and plenty of handling, so after a while they start wearing out and we replace them again, I am thinking about switching to tougher asset labels that stay readable and stay in place longer because spending time replacing labels over and over adds up, I have been thinking of aa labels but there are plenty of options around and they all make similar claims, so I am looking for real experiences before I pick one, what has worked well for your business? EDIT: Forgot to mention that different crews handle the equipment, so the labels need to hold up to daily use.

Has anyone switched from paper to polypropylene labels because paper labels kept tearing during warehouse handling?

I am planning to switch to polypropylene labels because my paper labels keep tearing as boxes move around the warehouse, some labels get damaged before the boxes even leave, so I want labels that stay in good shape during packing and shipping, I am looking at making the change before I order more labels, I still need the barcode to scan properly and I want the labels to stick well on boxes from start to finish, for anyone who already uses polypropylene labels, did they last better during normal warehouse handling and did barcode scanning stay the same?

Has anyone found labels that actually stay on frozen meal containers?

We pack frozen meals for customers and every week a few labels lift at the corners or come off after a while, the print stays fine, the container stays fine, it is just the label that gives us extra work, we use plastic containers and they go from packing to the freezer pretty fast, I see freezer grade labels from a lot of suppliers but I want something people actually use in a business, what labels or label material stay on through freezing and normal handling, any brands or setups that work well for you?
