Consumables: labels, ribbons and RFID tags
Labels, ribbons and RFID tags complete the work of printers and readers. The choice depends on the device, the surface to be identified and the conditions in which the material must last.
Adhesive labels and tags
Shipping, product identification, inventory and traceability labels: format, material and adhesive must be suitable for the surface and use. Paper and synthetic materials meet different needs for resistance to humidity, rubbing and chemicals.
Direct thermal
Labels that are printed without ribbon. They are chosen based on the required duration, contact with light and heat and the printer model.
Thermal transfer
Labels and tags combined with a ribbon. Support material and tape formulation must be evaluated together.
Special applications
Supports for industrial identification, safety, laboratory and food, to be chosen based on the actual conditions of use.
Ribbon tapes for thermal transfer
Wax, wax-resin and resin ribbons match the label material and the required printing resistance. To identify the ribbon you also need width, length, core and winding direction compatible with the printer.
If you already use ribbon, please send us the package code or a photo of the roll along with your printer model. We can verify the material and offer you a supply consistent with the support you use.

RFID labels and tags for identification and traceability
An RFID tag combines visual identification with radio frequency reading. Tags can take on different shapes and materials depending on the object: from the adhesive label to the support intended for reusable goods and difficult surfaces.
The choice requires checking RFID reader or printer, frequency and standard, available dimensions, object material and reading distance. For metal surfaces, solutions designed for that use are needed. Encoding and the data to be stored are also part of the project.
RFID labels and tags
Supports to evaluate for items, clothing, packages and inventory. Printing and encoding must be compatible with the device used.
Tags for goods and equipment
Solutions to be selected based on surface, fixation and environment, including metal applications.
A project worth checking out
Tell us what you need to identify, where the reading takes place and what devices you use. We evaluate with you the type of tag to try in the application.
Request consumables for your printer or application
Indicates printer or reader model, size, material, quantity, and usage. If you have a code already in use or a sample, attach a photo: it will help us identify the correct supply.
