Labels and Tags

Labeling solutions can significantly impact operational efficiency. Labels and tags need to work on flat or curved surfaces and may need to perform in extreme temperatures. Enterprise printing supplies may need to withstand other environmental variables, such as solvents, stains, test tubes and other challenging conditions. We can help you select the right material for the right application.

At IMS we offer thermal transfer labels, direct thermal labels, pre-printed labels, shipping labels, Floodcoat labels, RFID labels and healthcare-specific labels such as; lab labels, blood bag labels, pharmacy labels, and specimen collection labels.

We stock enterprise-grade label and tag options to identify, communicate, and meet regulatory requirements, with plenty of options to meet your specific needs, including:
  • Design: Range of dies, colors, and size
  • Materials: Chemical resistant, freeze proof, or placards
  • Durability: Permanent, removable, or dissolvable

Selecting the Right Labels for your Application
Picking the right label for your printing equipment and environment will ensure that you get the most out of your data collection systems and technology. Using the wrong label can lead to print failure, unreadable barcodes, and inaccurate data.
IMS can arrange to meet any and every need with cost-effective, high-quality, and even custom labeling solutions.
Environmental Effects on Labels
The environment a label is in can affect its readability and ability to adhere to products. Environmental damage can be caused from:
  •  Extreme freezing or hot temperatures
  •  Direct sunlight
  •  Moisture and dust
  • Exposure to chemicals and dirt
  • Being underwater
Luckily, there are many different materials and adhesives that can be used to navigate environmental challenges.
