Label printers for industry


You will find a large selection of devices here.

If you have any questions or need help, please contact us at any time on 07152/331260-0.

An industrial printer is a label printer for use in an industrial environment. It is often used in production facilities where the labels can be printed and applied directly to the product. Its properties are very robust and powerful, so that it can withstand the demands of the robust environment. Industrial printers can therefore fulfil high performance requirements even in a difficult environment.

Label printers for industry

Our industrial label printers are key tools for precise labelling and traceability in the production environment.


What are industrial label printers?

Industrial label printers are specialised devices that are designed for continuous use in production facilities. Unlike conventional desktop printers, they impress with their

  • robust construction
  • and high performance.

They enable automated labelling directly in the production line, improve traceability and minimise errors caused by manual processes.


Areas of application for label printers in industry

Industrial label printers can be used for a wide range of applications.

They are used, among other things, in

  • Manufacturing industries: Labelling of components, serial numbers and barcodes for traceability.
  • Logistics and supply chain: Creation of shipping labels, pallet labels and RFID labels for shipment tracking.
  • Food and beverage industry: Printing best-before dates, allergen information and origin labelling.
  • Pharmaceuticals and healthcare: Labelling of medicines, patient wristbands and laboratory samples.

Industrial label printers are also indispensable in areas such as retail - whether for price labelling or promotional labels.


Types of label printers for industrial applications

There are three main printing processes used in industry:


1. thermal transfer printers

In this process, such as with the Brother QL-800, colour is transferred to the label material using a heated print ribbon.

Typical advantages:

  • High-quality and durable prints
  • Resistant to water, chemicals and abrasion
  • Versatile use on various materials

The disadvantage is the higher operating costs due to continuous ribbon changes. This printer is ideal for applications where durable labels are required - for example for GHS labels or products that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions.


2. direct thermal printers

These printers use heat-sensitive material that changes colour when heated.

The advantages include:

  • Lower operating costs as no ribbon is required
  • Fast and compact printing process

Another disadvantage is that the printouts fade over time and are sensitive to heat. Typical areas of application are shipping labels or temporary price tags in retail.


3. inkjet printers

Inkjet printers spray fine ink droplets directly onto the label material.

Their advantages:

  • High-resolution, colour prints
  • Flexibility in the choice of material - whether glossy or matt
  • One possible disadvantage may be the higher cost of ink. Inkjet printers are ideal when colour labels are also required, for example in product presentation or when labelling high-quality goods.

Important factors when choosing a label printer

You should consider the following aspects when purchasing an industrial label printer:

Factor
Factor Description
Importance
Print speed and print resolution
How quickly and in what quality can labels be printed?
Important for high production volumes and detailed barcodes or graphics.
Print width and lengthThe maximum width or length of the labels that can be printed.Determines whether the printer fits into your specific field of application.
Label material and sizeCompatibility with different materials and formats.Essential for smooth use in production.
Printhead service lifeHow long will the printhead last before it needs to be replaced?A longer service life minimises maintenance costs and downtime.
Connectivity and interfacesSupported connectivity options such as USB, Ethernet, WLAN etc.Enables seamless integration into existing IT structures
Robustness and reliabilityResistance to dust, moisture and mechanical stress.Critical in industrial environments where devices are often exposed to extreme conditions.
Price and total costsInvestment and operating costs.Must be in proportion to the expected production output.


Advantages of industrial printers

Industrial printers offer a number of unique advantages over conventional desktop printers:

  • High performance: Designed for continuous operation and high job volumes.
  • Robustness: Resistant to environmental influences such as moisture, dust and dirt.
  • Reliability: Minimised downtime and increased productivity in demanding production environments.

Frequently asked questions



1. what is the difference between thermal transfer printing and direct thermal printing?

Thermal transfer printing transfers ink from a ribbon, while direct thermal printing colours heat-sensitive material directly. The former offers longer-lasting prints, while the latter is more cost-effective for short-term applications.

2. which print resolution is suitable for my company?

Depending on the requirements, resolutions between 203 dpi and 600 dpi can be selected. For barcode printing and sharp graphic details, a resolution of at least 300 dpi is recommended.

3. how long is the service life of a print head?

The service life of a print head varies depending on the model and usage. High-quality industrial printers are designed for a long service life to minimise maintenance and replacement intervals.

4. what connectivity options are available for industrial printers?

Modern devices offer a variety of interfaces, including USB, Ethernet, WLAN and Bluetooth, to enable optimal integration into your IT infrastructure.
