AUTOMOTIVE LABEL SOLUTIONS FROM SUPPLYLINE ID

We provide a comprehensive range of automotive labels designed to meet the diverse needs of manufacturing, parts, distribution, and the supply chain.

Types of Automotive Labels:

Automotive labels provide information that cannot be lost and must therefore remain legible and intact in even the most challenging environments.  Our labels are printed with full-resin ribbons for maximum resistance against wear, chemicals, and environmental conditions.  For the most demanding applications, labels can be further protected with a laminate layer, ensuring long-lasting performance..

Key Features of Our Materials:

• Resistance to Oils, Fluids, and Gas: Our materials are designed to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh automotive environments.
• Custom or Pre-Printed Labels: We offer both custom-printed labels and blank options, tailored to your specific needs.
• Full-Colour Printing: Choose from full-color labels, including graphics and barcodes, or simple one-color options.
• Variety of Sizes and Shapes: Our labels come in a fantastic range of sizes, shapes, and designs to suit any application.
• All materials and adhesives we use comply with UL and UID regulations, ensuring the highest levels of safety and reliability.

DURABLE MARKING AT GKN DRIVELINE

GKN is a global leader supplying to the automotive, aerospace and off-highway industries.  In Brazil, GKN Driveline specialises in manufacturing sideshafts, which transfer power from the differential to the wheels, allowing for wheel movement during steering and suspension adjustments.

GKN Driveline supports all major automotive assembly plants, with the majority of vehicles produced in Brazil equipped with GKN Driveline sideshafts.

The Challenge of Durable Marking:

Throughout the production process, each sideshaft component must be clearly labeled for tracking and identification.  Labels must remain legible despite harsh conditions caused by frequent handling, processing, tooling, quality control, and contact with metallic parts.

Once the GKN sideshafts are manufactured, labels must continue to withstand tough environments throughout the product’s entire lifecycle, ensuring proper maintenance, replacement, and recycling.

Durability and readability: Key Elements for GKN Driveline

To meet GKN’s stringent requirements for durability and readability in their labeling applications, ARMOR’s long-term Brazilian partner, Automatech, offers the AXR®7+ thermal transfer ribbon.  This solution delivers excellent printing performance on filmic labels, ensuring clarity and longevity.

Why AXR®7+?
The AXR®7+ ribbon provides an ideal balance for printing on various substrates, including coated papers, glossy papers, and synthetics.  It offers strong sensitivity and an overall high level of resistance to harsh conditions, making it suitable for GKN’s demanding environments.

AWR 8 LABELS FOR VEHICLE PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS

One popular product for vehicle servicing centres, is the oil change reminder label by TPGTEX Label Solutions.  This label is affixed to the interior of the windscreen, ensuring clear visibility for the driver.

However, labels placed in this location are constantly exposed to UV light, which can cause certain inks to fade, making the information illegible over time.  Our high-quality labels are designed to withstand UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting clarity and durability.

TPGTEX Label Solutions has chosen the inkanto AWR®8 wax ribbon for its superior ease of use, print quality, and UV resistance.  The AWR®8 ribbon is compatible with a wide range of label materials, from rough to smooth paper, with matte or gloss finishes.

On the blue scale (which measures a pigment’s resistance to sunlight from 1 to 8), the AWR®8, like other ARMOR black ribbons, achieves a rating of >7, ensuring excellent print durability in outdoor and UV-exposed environments.

Tyre Vulcanisation and Distribution Labels

• Tyre vulcanisation labels: These barcode labels are essential for product traceability during the manufacturing process. However, they must withstand extreme conditions, as they are exposed to both high pressure and temperatures of up to 200°C during vulcanisation.  This exposure can pose a risk to the printed information, making durability crucial.
• Tyre distribution labels: These labels contain important identification details for the end user, including the brand, model, and dimensions of the tyre.  At the point of sale, the label must remain perfectly legible, despite being subjected to various challenges such as transportation and storage.  Durability and resistance to these elements are key to ensuring that the information stays intact.
