small, to mark the anniversary of the company,
or to mark any other specific celebration that

PAT Testing Labels
PAT
testing self adhesive labels, which stands
for Portable Appliance Tested, are used by electricians
to put onto appliances once they have been tested
and approved. These self adhesive labels illustrate
the date that the test was done, the date it is
due to be re-tested and the name of the person
that the appliances have been tested by.
Holographic Labels
Holographic self
adhesive labels can be used by any company,
they can be a label that is printed onto a specific
holographic material by
label printers or they can be labels that
a hologram is printed onto a base material, these
types of self adhesive labels are often the sorts
used for security.
Thermal Labels
Label printers
can produce self adhesive labels that are printed
by the use of heat. These types of labels are
called thermal transfer labels. There are two
types of thermal transfer printing processes,
one is thermal wax transfer label printing, and
the other is direct thermal
transfer label printing. Thermal wax transfer
produces the design impression by the application
of pressure from the label printer to melt a wax-based
ink. Once the wax is melted it is transferred
onto a ribbon in the label printer, which is subsequently
transferred onto the printing material. Direct
thermal transfer is when the
label printer perforates small marks onto
the printing material, by use of heat, and creates
the design impression that way.
Asset Labels
Asset labels
can be produced by
label printers for use by companies that need
to identify certain products by a specific number.
These self adhesive labels are consecutively numbered
so that it is easy to identify produce when needed.
Food Labels
Self Adhesive labels
for food are used on various types of food
produce to brand the item and to display information.
This is important for the identification and marketing
of the product. Label printers can print onto
materials that are suitable for different food
storage areas, such as freezers; these types of
self adhesive labels can be printed onto a freeze
proof paper.
