Type plate sticker properties

With Texit type plate stickers, you can create machine labels on site in a cost-effective and flexible manner. The foil labels are made of polyester foil (polyester labels) and are therefore ideal for printing with thermal transfer printers. These labels can be used to permanently mark components, machines, systems, and buildings. The stickers are very well suited for outdoor use as they are very robust and UV-resistant. They can easily withstand temperatures from -40 to +100 degrees Celsius. In addition, the type plate labels are halogen-free. This means that no toxic gases are produced in the event of a fire.

Nameplate labels plastic material

Texit nameplate labels are made of polyester material. The surface of the nameplates is made of polyester film, which is applied to a compressible foam carrier. This is very thin (650μ), so the nameplate labels are thin but very resistant. Polyester material is very often used for labels for marking in industry, because it is very easy to process and print, and at the same time extremely durable.

Self adhesive nameplate labels

The nameplate labels have a permanent acrylic adhesive and are therefore self-adhesive. After printing, you can simply peel the labels off the roll and attach them to the desired surface. Make sure that the surface is clean and dust-free. This is the best way for the acrylic adhesive to hold. The nameplate labels have been produced for permanent labeling of machines, equipment and buildings in industry.

Type plate sticker, silver, on roll

Our standard range includes type plate stickers in white and silver, available in sizes ranging from 13–100 mm wide x 7–70 mm high. More detailed information on sizes (e.g., 63.5 x 29.6 mm) can be found in the table at the top of the website. These colors and sizes are the most commonly used colors for type plates. Our type plates are supplied on rolls and not on sheets (A4 sheets) or sheets. Therefore, they are not suitable for laser printers.

Do you need a nameplate in a different color or size (label width or label height)? As a manufacturer of cable labeling, we can also produce custom-made products for our customers. Simply send us an inquiry with the information on the desired color and size. We will provide you with an individual offer based on this data (incl. item no.) and are often cheaper than the well-known big players such as Avery Zweckform or the classic online specialist store. Do you have any questions about this or our Texit quality? Then simply get in touch with us. You can also find more information about our custom-made products under the heading Service.

Type plate sticker printer

The rating plate labels can be permanently labeled on a rating plate printer. The thermal transfer process enables extremely robust printing. You also have the flexibility to design the nameplates yourself. When using the appropriate thermal transfer ribbon (we recommend a resin ribbon and the use of our TX4/300 label printer), the labeling is resistant to oil, salt water, conventional chemicals and UV rays. You can find the right articles for an optimal printing result further up on the website under suitable accessories.

Nameplate labels roll

We supply the nameplate labels from our warehouse on a roll. This format offers the advantage that you as a customer can simply insert the nameplate labels into the printer. When we receive your order, we check whether we have the items in stock and whether the quality meets our Texit quality guidelines. If this is the case, we can send the products directly to the shipping department. You will then receive the items within 3 to 5 business days.

For custom-made products, the delivery takes several days, because the products must be specially manufactured for you. You will find more detailed data on your delivery on your order confirmation. Do you still have questions about the nameplates or their delivery? Then simply contact us, we will be happy to advise you.

FAQ Print type label stickers

What is the difference between labels and stickers?

Labels and stickers differ mainly in their purpose and design: Labels are used for factual identification and information transfer. They are used, for example, for inventory marking, for marking devices and components with serial numbers or for property marking (e.g. company property). They are usually simply designed and functional and are made of high-quality, durable material (e.g. polyester film for labels).

Stickers, on the other hand, often have a decorative or promotional function, are visually striking and are used to present messages, logos or designs - for example on cars, laptops or in advertising. They are cheaper and not as high quality (e.g. adhesion) and are sold in larger quantities.

In everyday life or colloquially, however, the terms labels and stickers are often used as synonyms.
