Make it easy on yourself with easy-to-mark Barcode Cable Labels from Metalcraft. This product simplifies the task of marking cables, hoses, tubing, etc., by providing subsurface printing on one end with the clear part of the label wrapping around the pre-imaged information to provide additional protection. The polypropylene construction allows the label to conform to a tight radius without unwinding. The .002″ thick adhesive provides excellent adhesion to hard-to-adhere-to plastic surfaces. Metalcraft’s digital subsurface printing allows for optimal clarity of detailed design and protection against solvents, caustics, acids and mild abrasion while eliminating the need for laminating.
| Material | .002" thick clear polypropylene |
| Serialization | Barcode and human-readable equivalent is digitally printed - providing excellent clarity and easy scanning.
