Innovation through reference applications: labels in practical testing

When it comes to industrial labels and special applications, the question of who approves the application quickly arises.
As an experienced supplier of speciality products, S+P Samson GmbH has decades of expertise in developing labelling solutions. However, even the best theory has its limits. The decisive factor for success is proving oneself under real production conditions.

Recognising technical limitations - working with the customer as a partner

Industrial applications often present labels with extreme challenges, such as high temperatures, humidity, weather conditions and mechanical stress. Laboratory tests alone are insufficient to determine the limits of a product.
This is an area in which S+P Samson excels: close cooperation with our customers as development partners. Only through direct practical use can products be comprehensively tested, adapted and optimised.

Reference applications as a test environment

Our customer companies provide genuine reference applications. This enables label solutions to be tested directly in production, where they will later be used.

• coil labelling in steelworks
• to weighing and internal handling
• transport to open storage in all weathers
• shipping on open waggons to sister companies or end customers.

This comprehensive support throughout the entire process demonstrates how labels perform in real-world industrial operations, not just on paper.

From practice to specification

The result of this close collaboration is a robust specification that has passed the ‘real-world test’. This is how we create products that work reliably in everyday use as well as in theory. Every new label solution from S+P Samson undergoes this development, practical testing and optimisation cycle.

Thanks to our partner companies

This approach would not be possible without the support of our customers and reference companies. They open up their production environments to us, provide valuable feedback, and support us in finding even better solutions.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our development partners sincerely – only together can we continue to innovate in industrial labelling.

Conclusion

Thanks to reference applications and close collaboration with our customers, S+P Samson guarantees that its new products are innovative and proven in everyday use, even under the toughest conditions.
The result is weatherproof, robust, field-tested label solutions that meet industry requirements for reliability, durability and application orientation.
