How do you print our labels and tags?

All our Heatproof materials are designed to be printed on site, on demand, using widely available, low cost thermal transfer machines.


How do you apply our labels and tags?

Application can be by hand, manual or semi-automatic applicator or by using a fully robotic system. We can help design a solution to fit your application, budget and location.


What type of barcode can we use?

Almost any type, as the label software is very flexible. We’ve found that for metal, Code 39 or Interleaved 2 OF 5 tend to be the most widely used by our customers.


Can 2D barcodes be printed on the labels?

Yes, 2D barcodes systematically show data using two-dimensional symbols and shapes to enable a smaller label and a more reliable read rate.

They are similar to a linear 1D barcode, but can hold more data per unit area. These include some newer barcode types such as the QR Code and Data Matrix. 2D barcodes can be printed on Heatproof products, using a thermal transfer machine.


Do you send out samples for testing?

First, we need to fully understand all aspects of your application to select the correct product. For some applications we can post a sample for you to test. In other cases we’ll suggest a visit to test a few options on-site with one of our bespoke label applicators.


What support do you offer?

We’ll help you with everything you need for printing and applying the labels. We understand that every customer’s demands are different and take a very flexible approach.


Can we see a label/tag being used for my application?

This can be a challenge, as most customers won’t let competitors on site to see their facility. However, a few will – so it’s worth asking us the question.
