Category: Cable labels
Cable labels are all markers for cable labeling that are attached to the corresponding cables and wires using adhesive. Many different products fall into this group of cable labeling. All Texit cable labels are already provided with adhesive and are therefore self-adhesive. Depending on the product, the labels for cables and wires can be individually labeled either with a thermal transfer printer or with a standard laser printer. As the standard cable labels are wrapped around the cables, the width of the lettering depends on the respective cable diameter. If you need more space, our cable flags are best suited. Cable labels are ideal for labeling network cables.

What our labeling expert Maik says
My customers are often somewhat overwhelmed by the choice of suitable self-laminating cable labels. The individual products in this category look confusingly similar.
When selecting a product, you should therefore pay particular attention to the differences in materials and the associated properties.

Advantages of cable labels

Cable labeling Label types

We have listed the different types of cable labels here to help you find your way around. This will hopefully make it easier for you to choose the right product. If not, simply get in touch with us - our team of experts will be happy to advise you personally.
Self-laminating cable labels
Texit's self-laminating cable labels enable you to label cables quickly, durably and robustly. The KRT-P0 labels are made of halogen-free polyalkene and are highly resistant to UV radiation. They are available in many sizes and therefore cover a large number of cable diameters.
Cable labels with protective laminate
The cable labels with protective laminate are particularly suitable for small cable diameters and for marking wires, as the material is extremely flexible and conformable. These labels are made of very high-quality polyolefin plastic, are halogen-free and resistant to UV rays, oils, moisture and alcohol.
Self Laminating Cable Markers
With self-laminating cable markers, both cables and wires can be marked cost-effectively and permanently. Texit's self-laminating cable markers are made from supple vinyl and come with adhesive and protective laminate. These cable labels are supplied on a roll.
Cable marker self-adhesive
The Texit cable markers self-adhesive are provided with a strong acrylate adhesive and thanks to the integrated laminate film also self-laminating. They are ideal for cost-effective and fast cable marking, as these labels are on a DIN A4 sheet and can be printed with a conventional laser printer.
Cable flags
Cable flags can be used to permanently mark cables and wires relatively independently of their diameter. However, there must be enough space for the flag. Our Texit cable flags labels are made of soft PVC and are therefore not only very flexible, but also cost-effective. These cable labels are printed using the thermal transfer process.
Print cable labels
Print your own cable labels
Depending on the product, cable labels can be printed with a laser or thermal transfer printer. thermal transfer printer quickly and easily. The great advantage of printing the labels yourself on site is the high level of flexibility. You can define both the content (barcodes, letters or logos) and the number of pieces yourself and adapt them to your needs as required.
For our polyester labels you only need a normal office laser printer. These labels are delivered on sheets and can be printed like paper. For all other labels for cable marking you need a thermal transfer printer and the appropriate ribbon. For the best printing results, both should be matched to the material of the labels. With the Nice Label Software you can compose the desired cable label on the computer in no time at all, which is then sent to the thermal transfer printer. With a Printing system from Texit, you benefit from easy handling and receive labeling solutions of the highest quality.
Cable labels Material and structure
Similar to the thermal transfer labels the labels for cables also consist of 3 layers: the backing material, the adhesive and the face material. The backing material ensures that the labels are stored safely before use. It protects them from dirt and guarantees easy removal. We use a permanent acrylic adhesive for permanent labeling. This universal adhesive can be applied to almost all types of film and ensures good adhesion, giving the products a long service life. It is also highly temperature-resistant and resistant to UV radiation and oxidation. These are important prerequisites for use in industry. The surface matting of the labels varies depending on the product and should be selected according to your individual requirements. For permanent cable labeling, the use of plastics for the upper material has proven itself. With our self-laminating labels, the upper material is provided with a layer of transparent laminate during assembly.

Are cable labels on rolls better than cable labels on sheets?
Are cable labels on rolls better than cable labels on sheets?
This cannot be said in general terms, as it always depends on the individual case. Basically, you need cable labels on a roll if you want to print them with a thermal transfer printer. Cable labels on sheets are designed for laser printers, as laser printers are usually tailored to sheet material. The printer type is therefore more important than the cable marker itself.
