Cable marker properties

Texit's self-adhesive cable markers without cable ties are ideal for quick and cost-effective labeling of cables, wires, and lines with cable tags. This is because the self-adhesive cable markers can be printed on using conventional laser printers. This means you don't need to purchase a special printing system and still have a high degree of flexibility when it comes to cable labeling.

Thanks to the strong acrylic adhesive, they adhere very well to different surfaces. The marking is also very robust and, thanks to the protective laminate, is highly resistant to water, alcohol, oil, grease and household solvents.

These cable markers are available in sizes ranging from 12.5mm to 33.3mm in length and 22.mm to 136mm in height. In our standard range you will receive the self-adhesive cable markers in the color white. Do you need other colors (e.g. transparent)? No problem - you can select your desired color on our product page and send us an inquiry.

We can produce most colors for you as custom-made products. If you have any questions or require more information, simply visit our service page. 

Cable marker printer

Texit's self-adhesive cable markers belong to the category of self-laminating cable labels that can be printed on with conventional laser printers (instead of the usual thermal transfer printers), which can be found in almost every office. As the item is supplied in A4 format, they can be easily fed and printed by laser printers. After printing, the labels can be attached directly to the corresponding cable and achieve durable results with long-lasting legibility. These cable labels are also ideal for use in machines (or switch cabinet construction) and technical systems. They can be easily applied by hand and the text field is protected from moisture, chemicals and other external influences thanks to the protective laminate.

To test the durability and resistance, you can simply add items (item no. can be found in the table) to the shopping cart and request free samples.

To be on the safe side, when printing on site using a laser printer, we recommend using "Single sheet feeder" and selecting the "Foil" driver setting. This is because the material (when used) is thicker than conventional paper.

Cable labeling self-adhesive

Cable marking is quick and easy with our self-adhesive cable markers. The protective laminate provides the marking with surface protection, protecting the self-adhesive markers from environmental influences and mechanical stress.

If you order diameters and colors from our standard range, we guarantee high availability in our warehouse and fast delivery. The delivery time for normal quantities and orders placed on one working day is 3-5 working days (within Germany). For other colors (e.g. red or blue) or sizes, we will provide your company with tailor-made offers / prices. These products usually have to be specially made in our production.

As you do not need a special printing system or accessories for these markers, you can start marking cables, wires and leads of different diameters yourself within a week.

Cable markers on DIN A4 sheet

A major advantage of Texit's self-laminating cable markers is that they are supplied on A4 sheets and not on rolls like many other cable markers (such as shrink sleeves or labels). This means that they can be easily printed using office printers and then attached directly to the cable. The self-laminating cable markers are very easy to apply:

• Make sure that the cable is clean and dry at the point to be marked.

• Then carefully pull the labeled marker off the A4 sheet.

• First stick the labeled part of the label onto the cable and then wrap the laminate film tightly around the label. Make sure that no wrinkles form during wrapping

• Now your cable is permanently marked and optimally protected thanks to the self-laminating film.

For electrical installers in switch cabinet construction: 

• Standard-compliant labeling in accordance with DIN EN 81346

• Secure adhesion even on small cable diameters and bending radii

• Temperature and oil-resistant for use in switch cabinets

• Simple, precise printing with standard laser printers 

For IT and network technicians: 

• Clear labeling of patch cables and network sockets
  

• Abrasion-resistant, permanently legible labeling

• Residue-free removal possible for temporary installations

For machine and plant manufacturers in the industry: 

• Resistant to vibration, moisture and cleaning agents

• Clear identification of control lines and sensors

• Durable labels for high-maintenance environments

• Can be used universally on smooth and slightly textured surfaces 

For building technicians and facility managers: 

• Clean labeling of control, alarm and communication cables

• High adhesive strength even on plastic, metal and painted surfaces
  

• Support with the standard-compliant documentation of electrical installations

Is there a minimum order quantity for the cable markers?

We supply our cable markers for self-labeling on sheets (min. 50 sheets per order). We charge a minimum quantity surcharge for orders of less than 50 sheets.

These cable markers can be used in a wide range of applications and are also suitable for cable labeling with higher requirements (e.g. strong environmental influences). Thanks to the practical format and easy handling, cables and wires can be permanently and legibly marked with these cable markers in no time at all.

Which cables can be labeled with this marking?

Texit cable labels can be used to mark almost all electrical and power cables in industry. The markers can also be used for wires. They can be used to mark cable diameters from a minimum of 2.7 to a maximum of 35 mm. The labels can also withstand temperatures from -20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The laminate film protects the print from water, oils, alcohol, cleaning agents and other substances at the point of use.

What requirements do the cable markers fulfill?

Permanently legible cable marking is essential for industry. Especially for technical systems and in control cabinets, as well as for IT connections and cabling, cable markers are essential for the clear identification of cables and conductors (this is also stated in the IEC 61439-1 (design verification for switchgear and controlgear and responsibilities) and DIN EN 81346-1 (structuring principles and reference marking) standards).

At Texit, we have various markers for different requirements. For example, we have stainless steel cable markers that can withstand even the most extreme conditions.

For the railroad industry, we have cable markers and labels that meet the special EN 45545 and EN 50343 standards.

For customers looking for cable markers for self-labeling, our KBL cable markers are a good solution. We also offer these in smaller quantities and these cable labels can be self-labeled using a conventional laser printer.
