Built for electronics manufacturing conditions

Electronics and PCB manufacturing environments demand labels that perform under heat, chemicals, and handling. We produce custom thermal transfer labels designed to maintain legibility, adhesion, and scan reliability throughout production and beyond.

High-temperature labels

Our high-temperature thermal transfer labels are specified to withstand:

  • Reflow and wave soldering
  • High-temperature curing and bake cycles
  • Exposure to cleaning chemicals and flux removers
  • Abrasion and repeated handling

We help you specify the correct combination of label material, adhesive, and thermal transfer ribbon for consistent results.

Polyimide (Kapton) labels for PCB identification

For demanding PCB applications we supply polyimide labels, commonly referred to as Kapton labels. These are widely used where heat resistance and dimensional stability are critical.

  • Excellent temperature resistance for reflow processes
  • Strong adhesion to PCBs and electronic components
  • Good resistance to many electronics cleaning chemicals
  • Designed for thermal transfer printing with specialist ribbons

Barcode & QR code labels for traceability

Reliable traceability is essential in electronics manufacturing. We produce barcode and QR code labels engineered for:

  • High scan accuracy with handheld scanners and vision systems
  • Consistent contrast and edge definition
  • Durability through heat, solvents, and handling

We support 1D barcodes, QR codes, and Data Matrix, including serialisation and combined human-readable data.

Very small QR code & micro labels

Where space is limited, QR codes still need to scan reliably. We specialise in very small QR code labels and micro-format labels for compact PCBs and dense assemblies.

We optimise the entire system — material, adhesive, ribbon, and print resolution — to ensure dependable scanning at the smallest practical sizes.
