Everything for labelling in electrical engineering in one place
Portable - handheld label printers
Portable label printers allow you to create custom labels (not just stickers) whenever and wherever you need them. They are light weighted and easy-to-use and therefore intended for use on the job site, the most compact ones can even fit in your toolbox. In addition to manual data entry, they also support connection to computers and portable devices (phones, tablets).
You can make very customizable and persistent labels for:
-
wires (wrapping, inserts, flags, rotating marks, heat-shrinkable labels),
-
cables (wrapping, non-adhesive cable tags, inserts, flags, rotating marks, heat-shrinkable labels),
-
electrical cabinets (inscriptions, key and switch labels, type plates, warning labels),
-
terminal blocks (labels with a specific raster),
-
all components in electrical cabinets (labels of different colours and dimensions),
-
connection panels (raster labels or individual labels),
-
other.
