Weathering + outdoor storage
PROBLEM
Rain, frost, UV radiation and long storage periods can damage labels and print.
SOLUTION
Weather- and UV-resistant label materials ensure that information remains legible over extended periods outdoors.
Labels for the Construction Industry
Tear-resistant, weather-resistant identification for structural steel, bundles, and building materials – reliably readable from storage and transport through to the construction site.
STRENGTH
> 250 N
High tear resistance for transport, handling and use on construction sites
OUTDOOR USE
UV + WEATHERING
Durable labelling for outdoor storage and use on construction sites
FIXING
ATTACHING + ADHESIVE
Flexible fixing for bundles, bars, pipes and building materials
IDENTIFICATION
BARCODE + RFID
End-to-end identification for warehouses, transport and site logistics
When materials on a construction site cannot be clearly identified
On construction sites, materials are moved around several times – from storage, via transportation, to the relevant installation or assembly area.
During this process, the labels are exposed to rain, UV radiation, dust, dirt and mechanical stress.
If a label is lost or becomes illegible, identifying the material can quickly become impossible. This means deliveries must be checked, materials searched for or batches and components tracked manually. This is time-consuming and increases the risk of mix-ups.
Labelling bulky building materials such as bundles, bars, pipes and profiles is particularly challenging as traditional adhesive labels cannot always be used reliably.
S+P Samson develops robust labelling solutions for such conditions, featuring tear-resistant hang tags, durable adhesive solutions and barcode and RFID options for end-to-end identification.
Labelling solutions for the construction industry
Mechanical stress
PROBLEM
Crane transport, strapping, sharp edges and frequent handling can put labels under severe strain.
SOLUTION
Tear-resistant GRAPHIPLAST® materials ensure that labels remain intact even under high mechanical stress.
Difficult attachment
PROBLEM
Bundles, bars, pipes and other building materials often do not provide a suitable surface for standard adhesive labels.
SOLUTION
Hang tags, adhesive labels and combination labels allow the attachment method to be adapted to the material and process.
Traceability
PROBLEM
Material information must remain clearly accessible from storage and transport through to the point of use.
SOLUTION
Barcodes, DataMatrix codes and RFID enable continuous digital identification throughout the material flow.
From reinforcing steel to installation
Reinforcing steel passes through several stages before it is installed in its intended position on the construction site. Cutting, bending, bundling, loading and transport place different demands on both the label and its method of attachment.
In the rebar fabrication shop, bars and coils are cut and formed according to the bending schedule. The finished positions are then bundled and assigned to the relevant order, construction section or installation location.
Robust hang tags keep the relevant information directly on the bundle – from fabrication and transport through on-site storage to final installation.

CASE STUDY
Construction site management + tool management
At seele GmbH, components are assigned to construction sites using RFID. For tool management, pre-serialised FORTOBOND® labels with DataMatrix codes are used – providing clear and permanently readable identification even under demanding operating conditions.
