How to use this guide

The industries are indicative: the material and adhesive change with the surface, temperature and process. This guide does not replace a trial on your line or your team's technical assessment.

The customer defines the use, the applicable standard and final approval. For regulated or high-responsibility applications, contact us before requesting a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know which label type my company needs?

Start with the problem: detecting an opening, identifying an asset, surviving heat, improving traceability or differentiating the product. Then specify the surface, environment, quantity and the data to be printed; with that we can guide you across the 18 categories.

Do you work with any industry?

We work with industrial and service companies in the European Union and, depending on the destination, internationally, not with retail consumers. If your use is regulated or high-responsibility, we review it before offering to confirm we can supply it under the right conditions.

Can you supply a label for an application not listed here?

Yes, if the use fits our range and the production partner can produce it. Tell us the surface, environment, quantity and applicable standard; if it is not viable, we will say so and propose an alternative.

Cannot find your application?

Describe the use, the surface, the environment and the quantity. We will point you to the right category and material, even if your industry is not listed.
