Printed Tapes & Labels – A Guide

Self-adhesive tapes and labels printed with warning messages or symbols are a good way of alerting handling personnel to the handling requirements or contents of a consignment. A wide selection of these is available from stock in standard designs as a cost-effective alternative to custom printed tapes and labels.

Printed Message Tapes
These 48mm wide, 66 metre long white polypropylene tapes are printed conspicuously in red so that the message can be easily read, and are wound onto a standard 75mm cardboard core so they are compatible with most hand held and bench tape dispensers.

The printed messages are as follows:

• AWAITING INSPECTION
• CONTENTS CHECKED SECURITY SEALED
• CAUTION
• FRAGILE (also available in vinyl tape)
• GLASS HANDLE WITH CARE
• HANDLE WITH CARE
• Q C HOLD
• Q C INSPECTED
• Q C REJECTED
• QUARANTINE
• REJECT
• SECURITY
• THIS WAY UP

The easiest way to dispense labels from the roll and protect them from damage is to use a bench mounted label dispenser. Supplied with rubber anti-skid feet, pre-drilled holes mean they can also be permanently secured to a bench for additional stability.
