inotec market possibly the World's widest range of barcode and specialist labels, with over 160,000 combinations of materials, adhesives and print technologies.

From the highest definition laser based photo-composed labels to labels for harsh environments, labels to withstand temperature extremes from minus 100°C to +1,000°C, acids, solvents, abrasion, pressure, weathering and steam. These are just some of the label solutions engineered by inotec for many of the World's leading companies including IBM, Sony, Lufthansa, Panasonic, Siemen's, Gillette, British Steel, Nestle, National Blood Transfusion Service, Dexion, Carlsberg, CLB, etc.

Selecting the right label
Depends mainly on the application and environment in which the label will be used

To select the correct face material;
We need to know if the label is subjected to;

• Chemicals - if so which acids, alkalis, solvents?
• Water, if so for how long at at what temperature?
• Abrasion, how much for how long?
• Heat, what amount what pattern?
• Steam or water?
• Repeated contact scanning, for how long?
• UV (Outdoor) exposure.
• Is the label to be permanent, tamperproof or removable?
• Will it be placed on a flat curved or uneven surface?

• How will the label be scanned and from what distance?

To select the correct adhesive;

• Is the application permanent or temporary?
  
• Is the surface to be adhered to;
  
• Oily, dusty, unstable,
  
• A rough, uneven or curved surface?
  
• Plastic, if so what kind? (Many plastics and materials such as galvanised steel can be damaged by using a badly matched adhesive.)
  
• Will the label be subject to shock or vibration?
  
• Will chemicals or solvents come into contact with the adhesive?
  
• What is the temperature at application and in service?
  
• What is the expected life of the label?

These are just some of the questions which warrant investigation before designing and recommending a label system.

Main Product Lines;

Pre-printed labels
Using carefully matched components to meet your application and environment needs, we can use thermal transfer, laser or high definition laser based photo-composition methods to provide the ideal label. Using photo-composed labels, we can even match a label to your scanner for the highest first time read rates in the industry. Materials available include papers, plastics, metal and ceramic materials complete with a recommended fixing method.

Materials & Ribbons.
For on site printing, we have the widest range of matched components to ensure that your on site system works to the highest possible level. From polyester, kaptons, fabric and paper materials matched with a range of adhesives and quality ribbons to give smear free printing and faultless scanning.

Label Installation Service
Ideal for use where application is difficult or a time issue, we provide a full installation service including pre-site survey, hire of equipment, surface preparation and installation.
