Custom Label Tips

Thermal Transfer or “Hot Stamp” labels are affordable, long lasting and quick to make.  This process is ideal for small to high-volume custom production runs.

UID/2D Matrix Marking and Human Readable Text.

Tamper Resistant or “Void” label.

Sequential serial number labels, barcode stickers, UID marking, tamper resistant labels, and product labeling are some of the uses for Hot Stamp labels.   Thermal Transfer labels are typically manufactured from polyester which is very durable.

Drake Industries maintains a “die library” that contains thousands of custom and standard dies available at no additional cost for use on your order. Multiple options for color matching, laminates and die cuts exist.

Labels are delivered in rolls to your specification, including outwound or inwound, the number of labels per roll and the spacing between labels.

Our production team can break down labels on rolls to your specifications.  Examples include: “Bags of 10; Labeled with: Quantity, Date of Manufacture, PO#, Vendor Name, P/N”.

Provide specifications and our production team can break down labels on rolls to easily identified bags of small quantities.

We look forward to discussing your project.  We can provide quotes or answer questions should you be unsure of substrates, adhesives, dies, etc.
