Mac Book Pro — MacBook Pro battery and FPC

Apple Inc. has been known for its unique product designs and high-quality user experience. As a global leading technology company, Apple pays meticulous attention to every detail of its products, including label design. Matte black labels are often used in Apple’s internal components, and this distinctive label color is widely applied in Apple products. Matte black labels are a type of label with a matte finish, different from ordinary glossy black labels. In Apple products, matte black labels are mainly used in internal components such as batteries, flexible printed circuits (FPC), and lenses. In the following, we will analyze the characteristics of matte black PET and polyimide labels.

Characteristics of Matte Black Surface Treatment:

1. Unique Appearance:

Matte black labels have a frosted texture and do not reflect light like regular glossy black labels, but instead have a soft matte effect. This distinctive appearance gives Apple products a premium, minimalist, and high-tech look.

2. High Durability:

Matte black labels have excellent durability and can maintain their appearance quality even with long-term use. This is particularly important for Apple products, which usually have a long lifespan and high frequency of use. The durability of matte black labels ensures that the product labels are not easily worn or faded during long-term use, thus protecting the overall appearance of the product.

3. Environmentally Friendly:

Matte black labels are typically made from environmentally friendly materials such as recyclable PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) or Polyimide. These materials have lower environmental impact and carbon footprint, aligning with Apple’s values of sustainability and environmental friendliness.

4. High Adaptability:

Matte black labels can be well adapted to different materials of internal parts, such as metal, plastic, glass, etc. This allows Apple to have greater flexibility in choosing label materials to meet the requirements of different internal parts, ensuring the overall appearance and consistency of the product.

5. Prominent Brand Information:

Matte black labels usually design brand information to be prominent, such as using large fonts, special fonts, or unique logos, to quickly attract consumer attention and enhance brand recognition.

6. Visual Contrast:

Matte black labels typically use bright text and graphics, forming a sharp contrast with the black background, making the labels more prominent and eye-catching.

Characteristics of PET Labels:

PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is a common label material that has the following characteristics:

1. Excellent Clarity:

PET labels have excellent transparency and clarity, allowing for clear and sharp printing of text and graphics.

2. Good Tensile Strength:

PET labels have good tensile strength, making them resistant to tearing or breaking during handling and application.

3. Moisture Resistance:

PET labels have low water absorption and are resistant to moisture, making them suitable for applications where exposure to moisture is expected.

4. Chemical Resistance:

PET labels have good resistance to many chemicals, making them suitable for applications where exposure to chemicals or solvents is expected.

5. Heat Resistance:

PET labels have good heat resistance, allowing them to withstand high temperatures during printing or application processes.

6. Recyclable:

PET labels are recyclable and can be recycled into other PET products, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Characteristics of Polyimide Labels:

1. High Temperature Resistance:

Matte black polyimide labels have excellent high-temperature resistance, allowing them to be used for long periods of time in high-temperature environments without losing their performance. This makes matte black polyimide labels ideal for applications that require resistance to high-temperature environments, such as electronics, aerospace, automotive, and other industrial applications.

2. Outstanding Weatherability:

Matte black polyimide labels have exceptional weatherability, maintaining their quality and performance in extreme environmental conditions. This includes exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation, moisture, chemicals, and other environmental conditions.

3. Superior Chemical Resistance:

Matte black polyimide labels have excellent resistance to various chemicals, including solvents, acids, bases, and more, making them suitable for applications that require contact with chemicals, such as laboratory environments, chemical industry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

4. Ultra-Strong Mechanical Strength:

Matte black polyimide labels have outstanding mechanical strength, including tear resistance and abrasion resistance, which allows them to resist daily wear and mechanical stress, preventing damage or rupture.

5. Ultra-Thin and Flexible:

Matte black polyimide labels are typically very thin and flexible, making them convenient for adhering to irregular or curved surfaces, and they can be used on objects of various shapes and sizes.

6. Long-Lasting Durability:

Matte black polyimide labels usually have long-lasting durability, resisting fading, degradation, or damage, and maintaining their appearance and performance during prolonged use.
