inotec’s Label Printing Processes
Digital printing, thermal transfer, and reverse-side printing for durable labels
inotec uses digital printing and thermal transfer printing to produce labels with high precision, colour accuracy and long‑lasting durability — ideal for industrial identification requirements.
One of our key strengths is reverse printing, where barcodes, text or graphics are printed on the underside of a protective plastic layer. This makes the labels significantly more robust than conventional front‑printed labels without laminate: they are scratch‑ and smudge‑resistant, permanently readable and withstand even heavy mechanical or environmental stress.
This technology ensures exceptional durability in demanding logistics, production and outdoor environments.
Label Substrates & Material Technologies
Identification Solutions for a Wide Range of Application
Durable Paper and Plastic Labels for Industrial and Commercial Use
Affordable, lightweight and highly versatile — paper and plastic label solutions offer maximum flexibility.
With over 1,500 cutting dies available for almost any imaginable shape, these labels can be used in countless applications and customised precisely for different requirements.
For all standard identification tasks where the label is not exposed to mechanical stress, paper labels printed using thermal transfer are an excellent choice. They are quick to produce, cost‑effective and extremely flexible in use. We also convert Pantone, RAL or HKS colours into matching CMYK values, ensuring your labels look exactly as you envision.
For medium to heavy stress, plastic labels are the ideal solution.
Thanks to reverse printing, they resist scratches and moderate mechanical loads with ease and remain readable for a long time. They are also UV‑resistant, making them perfect for outdoor use. With our modern machinery, inotec’s plastic label solutions offer high quality and long durability that truly deliver on their promise.
For specialised applications, we also offer high‑quality in‑mould label solutions, engineered for maximum robustness and longevity.
Made of ceramic for extreme applications
Extreme temperatures, high mechanical loads and all other special challenges - Ceralabel solutions from inotec are always durable and reliable. They resist chemical loads, aggressive solutions and acids as well as heat ranges up to 1,400°C without any problems.
Thanks to these robust properties, they are perfectly suited for permanent marking of racks, containers, workpiece carriers and tools in thermal and chemical processes. Ceralabel solutions from inotec are always adapted to your requirements, produced individually and are thus perfectly suited for your area of application. Whether as a steel-ceramic composite label, all-ceramic label or raw ceramic label - Ceralabel is always tough.
High‑Durability Steel and Aluminium Labels for Industrial Use
inotec metal labels are designed for identification tasks in demanding environments.
They offer high mechanical durability and long‑term readability. Marking can be applied either by cut‑out barcode structures using laser or etching technology, or through permanently embedded markings directly in the material. These labels are available in various configurations and are suitable for cross‑industry applications.
Steel labels
Steel labels are etched and engineered for high mechanical and chemical stress. The barcode is either fully cut out or engraved into the surface, providing excellent resistance to abrasion, heat and chemical exposure. Available material thicknesses range from 0.20 mm to 1.0 mm.
Aluminium labels
Aluminium labels are ideal for marking technical equipment and machinery. They are weather‑resistant and designed for long‑term outdoor use, for example on transport assets such as mesh containers or load carriers. Aluminium labels are available in thicknesses from 0.075 mm to 0.80 mm.
