Medical solutions laboratory identification

In the laboratory, every second counts – and every scan.
With I-Label, you establish a consistent identification structure from sample collection to archive. Our solutions combine laboratory labels, printers and software into one, adapted to cryo, heat, moisture and solvents and in line with GHS/CLP and quality procedures.

Our solutions for laboratory identification

Printed laboratory labels, specially designed to identify samples.

Our extensive range of lab labels is available for every sample and every laboratory application.

Custom labels

With custom labels, you decide how your label looks and performs. Consider length x width, material (paper or plastic), adhesive (permanent, removable, freezer-proof, chemical-resistant), printing (blank, 1 color, full color), and roll configuration (core, winding, diameter). Zo krijg je precies wat je nodig hebt – voor elke toepassing in het laboratorium.

Laboratory labels

In the laboratory, labels must remain stuck and legible, even when samples are frozen, thawed, centrifuged, cleaned, or briefly heated. Our lab labels are available as labels on rolls (blank or printed) and are selected based on your application, temperature, and cleaning requirements.

Label printers

Specialists for specific tasks where speed and reproducibility count. Examples: the Vial Label Printer (VLP) for tubes in the lab, or an A-series applicator that automatically places flag labels around thin wires. Result: less manual work, consistent quality, and higher output. Perfectly integrable with label design software and tailored to your labels per roll and coding.

I-Label laboratoriumprinters

I-Label laboratory printers

Our durable lab printers are built to deliver long-lasting performance in demanding laboratory environments. Whether you need to label quickly and efficiently for sample identification, medical records, or laboratory instruments, our printers offer the flexibility you need.

Looking for a label with a specific feature?

Fraud-proof laboratory labels

These labels feature a tear film that makes it impossible to remove them in one piece. As soon as the label is damaged, you know that the packaging or seal has been opened. This allows you to maintain control over products and materials and reduces the risk of incorrect or unauthorized use.

Ultra-thin laboratory labels

These are the most commonly used labels in laboratories: self-laminating, self-protective, and ultra-thin, so they fit easily into trays. Thanks to the laminating layer, the print remains extra well protected and legible for a long time.

Laboratoriumlabels voor sterilisatie-indicatie

These labels clearly indicate that a sterilization process has taken place. They are suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications, from sample tracking and inventory management to identifying glassware and trays.

Frequently asked questions about our laboratory labels

What types of barcode label printers do you offer?2026-08-27T15:58:16+02:00

I-Label offers five main categories of label printers. The Brady label printers form the core of the range, with separate sub-categories for industrial, portable, safety signage and automatic labelling. In addition, we also supply our own I-Label label printers, Epson colour printers for full-colour labels, and semi– and fully-automatic systems for those who wish to eliminate manual application. Which type is best suited depends on your volume, mobility and application.

Why choose I-Label for my laboratory identification?2026-08-27T15:33:35+02:00

I-Label specialises in laboratory identification: from cryogenic storage to autoclave sterilisation and chemically aggressive environments. Unlike a general label supplier, I-Label offers a comprehensive range tailored to specific applications, always using the right materials. What’s more, you always receive the combination of label, ink ribbon, printer and software as a single, coordinated package, complete with personalised advice and free samples to test in your own environment before you place your order. What’s more, you can also make use of the I-Label Test Centre.

Are labels available in different colors?2026-04-01T14:11:15+02:00

Yes, for clear color-coding, we offer labels in clear, white, and yellow. This makes it easier to organize and identify samples.

What is the most common reason why a freezer label comes off?2026-07-14T11:16:06+02:00

The most common reason a freezer label comes loose is usually condensation or ice between the label and the surface during application, or an application temperature that is too low for proper adhesion. Even a label that can withstand -196°C in storage often needs to be applied at a higher temperature to develop its full adhesive strength. Of course, we also have labels that can be applied to already frozen materials. To determine which label is best suited for your application, we always recommend testing a few materials beforehand.

Why should I use a barcode label printer for my laboratory processes?2026-09-01T13:13:21+02:00

A barcode label printer makes every sample, tube or protocol uniquely and accurately traceable; something that is not achievable with handwritten labels or a standard office printer. You can link barcodes (1D or 2D/DataMatrix) to your LIMS or ERP system, so that a single scan retrieves the complete sample history: who took the sample, what treatment it underwent and where it is located. This eliminates manual transcription errors, speeds up batch processing and supports compliance requirements such as ISO or GLP, where full traceability is mandatory. I-Label printers also print these barcodes onto laboratory-specific materials that are resistant to freezing, autoclaving and chemical conditions, ensuring the code remains legible throughout the entire process.

What are the advantages of lab labels on a roll?2026-02-26T13:26:23+01:00

Lab labels on rolls are ideal for use in label printers because they can produce large quantities of labels efficiently. We offer thermal labels for fast printing and white labels for a professional look.

Can labels withstand freezing and refrigeration conditions?2026-04-01T14:10:45+02:00

Our medical labels remain adhered and legible, even at sub-zero temperatures or in refrigeration systems. Ideal for samples that need to be stored for long periods.

Can labels be applied to small surfaces?2026-09-03T13:54:39+02:00

Yes, I-Label supplies labels specifically tailored for small surfaces, ranging from cryo straws with a diameter of 0.25 mm to component labels and cable IDs. For these applications, we select thin, flexible materials that wrap neatly around a small surface without coming loose, and we print using 600 dpi printers to ensure that microtext and small barcodes remain sharp and scannable. Both the dimensions and the roll configuration can be fully customised, right down to the smallest laboratory or product identification.

Does a barcode remain scannable after several freeze-thaw cycles?2026-07-14T12:29:59+02:00

When the correct material is used, the text remains legible and the barcode remains scannable. It is not only the adhesive that is important, but also the combination with the correct ink ribbon, so that the print itself remains resistant to friction, condensation and repeated temperature changes.

Are your labels suitable for different laboratory applications?2026-03-06T10:26:59+01:00

Yes, our labels are specifically designed for a variety of applications such as labeling lab tubes, circuit boards, components and warehouse storage. With color coding and size labels, you can improve your laboratory organization.

Do laboratory labels remain legible when chemicals are used?2026-09-01T13:35:14+02:00

Yes. Our laboratory labels are resistant to solvents, alcohol, and other chemicals. This ensures reliable identification, even after heavy use.
