New 9460 tags and labels News | 17.04.2024

Supply chains in mechanical and plant engineering demand identification media that withstand both mechanical stresses in the shop floor and extreme weather conditions in outdoor storage yards. Components, cast parts, or pipes are often stored unprotected outdoors for months. Rain, frost, and permanent UV radiation destroy conventional paper documents within a very short time, rendering barcodes illegible and disrupting the material flow. Additionally, manufacturing processes often leave surfaces coated with a light film of oil, grease, or dust.

With the GRAPHIPLAST^® 9460 combo label, S+P Samson GmbH resolves these processing challenges. This extremely robust material has been specifically designed for the A6 format and can be printed directly via the standard tray of conventional laser printers without any special tools. The toner fixation on the specialized plastic surface guarantees a permanently smudge- and scratch-resistant print result optimized for automated barcode scanning.

GRAPHIPLAST^® 9460 is suitable for outdoor storage when laser labels need to remain water-resistant, robust and readable.

Flexibility via Combined Hanging and Sticking

The unique technological feature of the 9460 type lies in its mechanical versatility. It functions as a true combo medium, featuring both a sturdy area for hanging application via wire hooks or cable ties, and an integrated adhesive field. The specialized adhesive used is formulated to establish immediate, high initial tack even on greasy, oily, and dusty metal surfaces.

At the same time, the material satisfies the strict quality requirements of subsequent processing stages: after transport or the storage phase, the label can be peeled off the surface completely residue-free and without leaving any ghosting marks. Costly mechanical or chemical cleaning work on the components prior to final assembly is entirely eliminated.
