There are 2 diffrent types of printers used for testing and tagging
Thermal Transfer Printers
Thermal transfer Printers need labels and a ribbon (Ink but not messy) to print the tags.
Direct thermal Printer
Direct thermal Printers only need labels as the ink is inside the labels already. The text is not UV resistant in direct thermal printersunless using UV resistant labels where available.
Durability
All labels are plastic, durable, water resistant and suitable for most environments.
If your working in construction or another extremely ruff enviroment, you might want to consider our laminating overlays. These labels fix over the top of your existing label and provide added protection against abrasion and tearing.
