Heat shrink tubing printing service
First, we work with you to clarify your requirements and find the right shrink sleeves together. If you wish, you can also test the markers on site before printing. Once we have received your go-ahead, we get started in our print shop: the high-quality shrink sleeve markers are manufactured and printed as required (we have already determined the material, color, size, data and shrink rate with you beforehand).
You will then receive the printed markers ready for use (individually cut sections of shrink tubing) by a reliable parcel delivery service. If you choose standard products from our range, the delivery time of our printing service is approx. 3-5 working days.

FAQ Shrink tubing printing
At what temperature does a shrink tube shrink?
At what temperature does a shrink tube shrink?

How well does heat-shrink tubing insulate?
How well does heat-shrink tubing insulate?
Heat-shrink tubing is very suitable as insulation protection for cables and wires. The heat-shrink tubing covers the cable like an insulating skin and acts as a protective layer. In the event of slight damage, cables can be re-insulated and protected from further damage with the help of heat shrink tubing. The extent of the insulating effect and thus the insulation protection depends on the material of the heat-shrink tubing. Heat-shrink tubing made from polyolefin is particularly robust and durable.
How far does shrink tubing contract?
How far does shrink tubing contract?
The shrinkage rate of a shrink sleeve determines how far a shrink sleeve contracts. This rate varies depending on the type of heat shrink tubing. Typical shrinkage rates are 2:1 and 3:1. At a shrinkage rate of 2:1, the diameter of the heat shrink tubing contracts by a maximum of half. At a shrink ratio of 3:1, the diameter shrinks by two thirds. For example, if the original diameter is 60 mm, a shrink sleeve with a shrink ratio of 3:1 will shrink to a maximum diameter of 20 mm.
How do you work with shrink tubing?
How do you work with shrink tubing?
Heat-shrink tubing is used for insulating and marking cables and wires. The tubing is pushed over the area to be insulated and heated evenly with a hot air blower or other heat source until it contracts and fits tightly.
Are there different printing colors? Can I print in color?
Are there different printing colors? Can I print in color?
Yes, you can print in different colors with our thermal transfer printers. The print color depends on the color of the ribbon. To print in color, select a ribbon in the desired color.
If you want to use the printed shrink sleeves for color coding, it is a good idea to purchase the markers in the corresponding colors. This makes the color stand out more quickly.
