FAQ

Can labels on rolls be supplied both blank and pre-printed?2026-04-01T10:40:30+02:00

Yes, I-label offers both blank labels on rolls (for printing yourself with a label printer) and fully printed labels with fixed information such as a logo, colors, or instructions. Blank rolls are perfect for variable data, such as batch numbers or barcodes. Printed rolls are convenient if you want a professional look and consistent branding without having to print them yourself. Visit this page for more information or contact us.

Are tamper-proof labels also printable?2026-03-06T14:41:11+01:00

Yes. Most of I-Label’s fraud-proof labels are thermal transfer printable on industrial or desktop printers. You can order them blank and print them yourself with barcodes, serial numbers, or logos, or you can order them pre-printed to your specifications. Contact us for advice on the right printer-label combination.

Can we print shipping labels on demand?2026-03-05T15:01:14+01:00

Yes. With an industrial label printer linked to your order processing system, you can print every shipping label as soon as an order is created, including barcode, address details, tracking information, etc. This eliminates manual errors and keeps turnaround times low.

How do RFID tags work in a warehouse?2026-03-05T14:52:38+01:00

RFID tags contain a chip and antenna that can be read wirelessly by a scanner, without line of sight, from up to 15 meters away. This allows multiple pallets or boxes to be registered simultaneously at a gate or during inventory. They can be printed and encoded on site with the appropriate label printer.

What is the difference between permanent and magnetic shelf labels?2026-03-05T14:36:31+01:00

Permanent labels stick permanently to the shelf and are ideal for fixed layouts. Magnetic labels are easy to move without leaving any adhesive residue, perfect for warehouses with changing layouts or seasonal peaks.

Can the labels be linked to our WMS?2026-03-05T14:33:14+01:00

Absolutely. Label software allows labels to be linked directly to your WMS or ERP. This ensures you always print the right label with the correct data at the right time, without manual input or errors.

Can floor labels withstand forklift traffic?2026-03-05T14:34:11+01:00

Yes. Floor labels for warehouse applications are made of extra abrasion-resistant material with a reinforced adhesive, specifically resistant to loads from forklifts and intensive material handling.

Which labels are suitable for high pallet racks?2026-03-05T13:57:06+01:00

Multilevel location labels are the ideal choice for high racks with reach trucks. They are readable from a distance and can be combined with barcodes or QR codes for scanning at height. Retro-reflective labels can even be scanned from angles of up to 20 meters.

Are Epson pigment prints water and chemical resistant?2026-02-26T13:20:28+01:00

Yes. Epson pigment prints in combination with appropriate media are prints water/chemical resistant; BS5609 for GHS/CLP is possible with the right combination.

Can you run test prints with my samples?2026-04-01T10:45:01+02:00

Yes, we can run test prints with your samples. We test adhesion, contrast and scannability with your samples and recommend the correct label and ribbon combination.

Do you provide custom label templates?2026-04-01T14:13:58+02:00

Yes. We create label templates for NiceLabel, Brady Workstation, or BarTender with your variables, barcodes, and corporate identity. Including validations where necessary.

Which label material fits my application?2026-02-26T13:22:15+01:00

Define the requirements to determine your label material: environment (indoor/outdoor), temperature, chemistry, mechanical stress and desired lifetime. We match material + adhesive + ribbon with your requirements.

Which connection do I choose for my label printer: USB, Ethernet or serial?2026-02-26T13:22:36+01:00

USB connection is convenient for local single users. Ethernet is ideal for sharing and integration. Serial/RS-232 is used for machine links or legacy.

Can a label printer work without a PC (stand-alone)?2026-02-26T13:24:54+01:00

Several models allow stand-alone printing with a USB keyboard or via pre-programmed forms on USB stick; otherwise, print via PC or network.

Can I continue to use my existing ZPL templates?2026-02-26T13:23:08+01:00

Yes, many printers support ZPL. We will test your templates, folders, fonts and barcodes and adjust minor differences as needed.

Which printer resolution do I need: 203 dpi, 300 dpi or 600 dpi?2026-02-26T13:24:23+01:00

203 dpi is often sufficient for logistics/receipts. 300 dpi is standard for small barcodes/text in the lab or for asset ID. 600 dpi is used for microtext or very small barcodes (e.g., on PCBs or in the lab).

What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer?2026-04-01T10:37:05+02:00

Direct thermal prints black on thermal paper without a ribbon; suitable for short to medium life. Thermal transfer uses a ribbon (wax/wax-resin/resin) and is suitable for durable labels that must withstand temperature, friction and chemistry, among other things.
