tag

Tag – also called a label or marker. A distinctive feature is the presence of one or more holes used for mounting the tag. They are widely used for marking wires, cables, rolled metal, parts and equipment. There are variety of shapes, materials and characteristics available. Tags do not have an adhesive layer (adhesive) and are attached to the products mechanically with a tie, a clamp, a rope, a wire, etc. Can be reused.

Tags types and usage examples

tear strength

Tear Strength is the force required to rip a specimen under standard conditions in a special device designed to simulate the general mode of tearing encountered under normal conditions of use.

thermal printing

Thermal printing is a printing method that does not use ink, ribbons or toner. Instead, the image is formed solely through heat activation. The print head heats the surface of the label material, which is coated with a special coating. This coating reacts to heat by turning black.

topcoat

Topcoat is a physical surface coating applied to improve the adhesion of ink or toner during printing. Each printing technology (thermal transfer, laser, inkjet, digital) has its own type of surface coating. In addition to improving print quality, surface coating is used to change the visual characteristics of surfaces.
