Identification plates

Identification plates

The use of identification plates is an excellent way of permanently marking machines, systems, devices, products and components in industry. Identification plates are generally understood to be information carriers that usually contain information in the form of text, logos or barcodes. Manufacturing companies require a large number of different identification plates, as both the machines and systems used and the products manufactured need to be labeled with information. Whether in the area of system identification, in control cabinets or for PV systems: identification labels ensure order and safety in the industry.

Printing identification labels is easy with Texit

Identification plates Type plates

Identification plates are often used as type plates. The manufacturer notes certain data and information about the machine/system on nameplates. At Texit you will find cost-effective and robust nameplate labels in various sizes. The nameplate labels are self-adhesive and adhere permanently to smooth surfaces (e.g. metal and paint). They are indistinguishable from conventional aluminum nameplates in terms of color. However, they are significantly cheaper and more flexible to use. These identification plates can be flexibly designed and printed on site as required using one of our thermal transfer printing systems.

Identification labels Material

The main materials used for identification labels are paper, plastic and metal. Paper labels are often attached to end products (e.g. food labeling) and have a relatively short shelf life, but are very inexpensive. Metal identification labels are among the most robust representatives of their category. Stainless steel and aluminum in particular are often used for these labels, as these metals are rustproof. Metal identification signs are also the most expensive signs to manufacture.

Plastic identification labels

In terms of cost and durability, plastic identification tags are somewhere between paper tags and metal tags. In particular, they combine the positive properties of these two categories: Plastic identification signs are very durable and ideally suited for permanent identification in industry. They are also significantly cheaper to purchase than metal signs. At Texit, we have a large range of plastic identification tags.

Use of identification labels

At Texit, we specialize in the field of industrial identification. As a manufacturer of identification labels, we offer you a great deal of expertise and a wide range of products. In addition to cable identification, you will also find labels and markers made of stainless steel. Our labeling systems are easy to use and flexible in application. This means they can be used with different materials in a wide range of industrial sectors.

Every industry has different requirements for labeling. In the chemical industry, for example, identification labels must be resistant to chemicals and acids in addition to high temperature resistance (sometimes up to +200 degrees Celsius). In the photovoltaic sector, a label must be UV-resistant and be able to withstand temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius, as the systems are permanently located outdoors.

FAQ Identification labels

How can you label identification plates?

The labeling of the identification plates depends on the respective identification plate. Most plastic labels can be printed using a thermal transfer printer or laser printer (these labels have been provided with a special surface coating during processing). Labels made of metal (such as stainless steel) are either lasered or embossed. In our range we also offer identification labels that you can label by hand. We also offer such products for labeling cables.

How are the identification plates attached?

The attachment of the identification plates depends on the respective identification plate. There are self-adhesive identification labels that are already provided with a permanent acrylic adhesive. For cable identification with labels, these are usually attached with cable ties. There are also identification labels that do not require fastening in this sense, as they are threaded onto cables, for example.

Can I also purchase already labeled identification plates?

We also offer our customers the option of purchasing identification plates with customized lettering from us. To do this, you tell us in advance what you want on the signs and we will print the identification signs for you in-house. This type of print job is particularly suitable if you only need a small number of items. For more flexibility, we also offer the rental of our printers.
