If you're new to the exciting world of tags and labels, there's a lot to take in! We've put together this interactive guide for anyone who may be ordering identification tags and labels for the first time, and may be unsure what products they need.
Firstly, let's clarify what an industrial tag or label actually is.
Industrial tags and labels are used for product identification, stock control, shipping and logistics. Typically, they are printed with a short product description, and may use a SKU code, barcode or QR code to help identify the product.
Tags and labels can also be used for Point of Sale (POS) purposes, and our pre-printed and plain, laser-printable tags and labels allow you to show off your branding along with images and text, and are particularly popular in the horticultural sector.
We supply a wide range of tags and labels that are suitable for in-house printing, typically using either a thermal transfer printer (single colour printing) or a laser printer (full colour printing).
If you're looking to print your own tags, we can also help you get setup with the right printer and print software.
No matter your sector within the construction industry, we guarantee seamless supply chain traceability without disruption, simplifying identification processes.
Whether you're dealing with pallets, timber, concrete, bricks, drainage materials, or windows and doors, Bluepoint offers robust tags and labels designed to withstand crushing, creasing, rigorous handling, and prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions. Our solutions are engineered for use on challenging, irregular, and difficult surfaces.
Additionally, we incorporate barcode identification systems that provide complete traceability and enable effective stock control throughout a product's lifecycle. Our goal is to facilitate your operations within the construction industry, ensuring efficiency and reliability at every step.
Bluepoint use a range of synthetic materials that are chosen for their tough and robust nature – after all, they need to stand up to industrial use.
Most of our tags and labels are produced in some kind of ‘plastic’, and the exact choice of material is dependent on a number of factors – application environment, regulatory requirements, chemical contact, food use, exposure to the elements and the desired longevity of the label.
We are also keen on providing more eco-friendly options wherever possible, for example with our paper-based, kerbside recyclable wristbands or with our post-consumer recycled self-adhesive labels, and this ties in with our wide sustainability drive.
