Labeling System Explained

There are literally hundreds of labeling systems. Some print paper media others print application-specific tapes and labels. Typically, the term "labeling system" is used in industrial literature to describe industrial-grade thermal transfer printers. These printers are capable of printing vinyl and other application-specific tapes and labels for posting in harsh industrial settings or outdoor environments.

Most industrial labeling systems work very much like other desktop printers, but take proprietary (specially sized) media. They allow you to custom design labels and signs to meet your specific needs with included software or popular programs like MS Word. There are now labeling systems that even come as totally complete units, which include a monitor, keyboard and printer in a portable box and eliminate the need for a PC, network access and even a power cord.

Thermal transfer printers produce one of the most durable inks by burning text and graphics into a label or sign's topcoat. Many of these labeling systems range in size from 2" widths to 9" widths for really big labels and signs.
