Label tag

Summary
Non-adhesive industrial hanging labels designed for mechanical attachment by hook, cable tie, wire or pin. Suitable for pallets, reels, metal profiles and bales where adhesive is impractical due to dust, grease, surface roughness, movement or frequent replacement requirements.

Main properties

• Operating temperature: -20°C to +80°C.
• Attachment: Hook / Cable tie / Wire / Pin.
• Recommended printing: mixed/resin TT ribbon (thermal transfer).
• Adhesive: None (hanging label).

Typical applications

• Identification of reels, bales and pallets in storage and shipping.
• Traceability of profiles, bars and steel material.
• Batch and weight control in production and short-cycle logistics.
• Identification of material in international transit under variable temperature and humidity conditions.

Fixing methods
Hooks, plastic cable ties, pins or wire. The choice depends on the type of package, the environment and whether the label must be replaceable or permanent.

Material variants

• Synthetic substrate: inherently waterproof film. Suitable for outdoor and humid environments; resistant to rain and longer lasting than paper.
• Laminated kraft (KPK): Kraft/PET/Kraft structure, water- and tear-resistant; indicated for outdoor use, transit and large formats with extensive information (KPK 842 and high-temperature variants available).
• Polyester (PET): high chemical and mechanical resistance; resistant to oils, solvents and up to 180 °C; waterproof and dimensionally stable in aggressive environments.

Supply formats

• Accordion-folded (zig-zag): manual or semi-automatic feeding; compatible with TT printing; ideal for medium volumes and variable data.
• On rolls: standard format for thermal transfer printers; high printing speed and ERP/WMS integration; low unit cost at volume.
• Punched loose sheets: for laser printing (A4 or custom sizes); suitable for short runs or when a laser printer is available.

Comparison of fixing methods
Method | Typical use | Main advantage | Consideration
Hook | Reels, profiles and parts with accessible hole or slot | Quick installation and removal without tools | Requires a hole or anchorage point on the product
Cable tie | Profiles, reels, equipment, pallets and large packages | High mechanical strength, does not come undone | Requires cutter to remove
Thin wire | Metal profiles, corrugated, steel material | High tensile strength and load capacity | Only for products where wire contact is acceptable
Pins | Machinery, industrial equipment and long-life assets | Permanent and vibration-resistant fastening | Requires threaded point or drilling on the support

Notes on high temperature
For thermal processes (shot blasting, galvanizing, ovens) where standard hanging labels do not withstand, there is a specific high-temperature non-adhesive range (e.g. ARGIPRINT° high-temperature).

Printing and traceability
Compatible with 1D (Code 128, EAN) and 2D (QR, DataMatrix) barcodes. A matte surface and adequate contrast are recommended for scanner readability. Supports variable printing (batch, weight, reference, destination) with thermal transfer printers integrated into management systems.
