Whether cable and wire marking, solutions for industrial labelling in hazardous areas or security labelling with tamper evidence: HellermannTyton offers a comprehensive portfolio of cable labels and other marking solutions for a wide range of applications, from aerospace and rail industry to warehousing.
Our industrial identification solutions vary from simple pre-printed markers to inscribable adhesive labels and complete printing systems designed to process thousands of labels, heatshrink tubes or markers.
Most of our products have been developed in close cooperation with customers.
As a result, our portfolio now includes solutions that meet a wide variety of requirements: including security aspects, the need for traceability or compliance with legal requirements.
Self-laminating wrap-around cable labels consist of a printable or writable surface and a laminating function. This guarantees excellent protection of the printed text against moisture, dirt, deposits and mechanical abrasion. Due to their flexibility, most of these cable IDs are also suitable for flat ribbon cables, some of them for high temperature and outdoor requirements.
HellermannTyton offers a wide range of labels that meet most requirements:
Below you find some highlights from our cable label portfolio.
The TagPrint Pro labelling software contains templates for all HellermannTyton thermal transfer printable products – from wire labels, markers to heatshrink tubing.
Simply select the built-in graphic or download your own and add data from the ERP system or standard programmes such as Excel.
Barcodes are created with a few clicks. The surface of all HellermannTyton labels has been specially prepared so that the printing performance with label printers is excellent at all times.
Helatag 1104 wire labels are a popular choice for marking cables. These are laser-printable self-laminating labels.
Place the printed information area on the wire and wrap the transparent strip around the wire to cover the text, and give it excellent protection against abrasion, dust and dirt.
Helatag 1209 wire labels are particularly flexible thanks to their rounded edge design.
This makes them ideal for flat ribbon cables, but also for other cables and wires. The labels can be easily printed with a thermal transfer printer.
The self-laminating Helatag 1232 labels are ideal in harsh environments, e.g. for marking hydraulic pipes.
They feature an extremely resistant protective over-laminate and can be printed comfortably with the HellermannTyton thermal transfer printer series.
The Helatag 1232 label series provides space for more information than just the serial number. The acrylate-based adhesive will not damage the hose.
The marking has good resistance to chemicals such as alcohol, petrol, solvents and hydraulic oil. Permanent cable identification is ensured by the flexible yet tear-resistant and impact-resistant polyester material.
Specifically designed for robust identification on trucks and trailers and in the automotive market, the Helatag 1251 tamper-evident labels provide a highly visible and durable marking and are an effective alternative to conventional aluminium plates.
Their transparent protective laminate ensures resistance to dirt and abrasion, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, while easy manual application ensures hassle-free use. And, thanks to their strong adhesive and durable construction, you can be confident that these labels will stay in place and effectively protect your valuable assets and sensitive information.
A fast and practical solution for low volume maintenance and repair work is the RiteOn self-laminating label dispenser for handwritten marking. To see how easy it really is, watch this video:
Every environment requires specific labelling solutions. In addition to self-laminating cable labels there are numerous alternatives such as printable heat shrink tubing, printable cable markers or cable tags. The sleeves and markers can be printed on both sides, have good mechanical strength and are resistant to organic solvents and chemicals. Cable marking materials are available either in a continuous format or pre-cut in a practical “ladder style” system.
Popular applications for HellermannTyton cable tags and markers:
Read on for some concrete product examples.
The halogen-free, fire-resistant and liquid-resistant TLFD DS is mainly used in applications where fire protection plays a major role.
However, this heat shrink wire label is also ideal for applications where resistance to organic liquids, common fuels, lubricants and solvent properties is required.
The material is tested to EN-45545-2 standards, pre-cut and supplied a practical "ladder system".
HellermannTyton also offers tubing like flame-resistant THTT DS – an industrial identification solution developed for tough environments.
The printed marker is ideal for applications where high temperatures and aggressive solutions occur, especially in the aerospace industry.
Ideal for use in harsh environments: TIPTAG PU cable tags made of flexible polyurethane material are the perfect choice when permanent legibility and UV-resistant marking is required.
Available in white and yellow, the main advantages of these flame retardant printable marker tags include good resistance to:
Pre-printed markers such Helagrip, Ovalgrip and WIC can be easily pushed onto cables and wires.
These solutions are ideal for the following industries:
The characters 0-9, A-Z as well as electrical standard symbols are available.
Watch this video and see how easy it is to install pre-printed HellermannTyton markers:
HellermannTyton offers a wide range of ties, plates and carriers. For example, the cable marking plates of the IMP and IT series for use on large cable bundles.
The arrowtag plates are also suitable for use on larger pipes and cables.
Q-Tag identification tags, on the other hand, have a flag design that enables the user to quickly read or scan the printed information.
With the Helafix HC and HCR carriers, HellermannTyton also offers a solution that can be fastened with cable ties as well as screws or rivets – for temporary or permanent marking.
All ties, plates and carriers can be written on by hand using either a black or red T82 indelible marker pen.
There are a variety of cable and wire marking solutions suitable for the permanent marking of components and pre-assembled units in the electrical industry as well as for plant machinery marking.
These industrial identification solutions can also be used for construction and commissioning as well as for repair and extension of switch cabinets and control systems.
Have a look at some selected product highlights which are often used in the field of industrial labelling.
HellermannTyton offers a range of materials that enable customers to quickly identify whether assets have been tampered with.
Two types of materials are common and are used to identify problems with tampering: One leaves a distinct pattern on the surface and the other disintegrates into fragments.
Also available is a robust outdoor labelling system consisting of a clear, overlaminated and printable silver label that provides excellent performance on trucks and trailers.
Thermal transfer panel labels such as Helatag 1220 (white) and Helatag 1221 (silver), are a cost effective alternative to engraved plates. Ideal for industrial control panels, switchgears and general identification equipment, they provide a reliable identification solution without the need for screws or bolts.

HellermannTyton MBML metal cable markers, made of 316L stainless steel, are versatile and find applications across various industries due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand harsh environments, ensuring efficient operations, safety, and proper maintenance. Here are some examples of applications for SS316L cable markers in different industries:
Product features:
316L is a low carbon variety of the widely used 316 stainless steel. “SS316L” stands for “low carbon”, which indicates that the composition of this stainless steel has a lower carbon concentration, meaning there is additional resistance to corrosion. Therefore, SS316L marine grade is typically used in harsher and more demanding environments than standard 316 stainless steel.
316L steel properties:
| Material | High temperatures | UV resistance | Salt corrosion | Galvanic corrosion | Chemical resistamce | Flammability |
| SS316L | excellent | excellent | excellent | limited | excellent | none |
The M-BOSS Compact stainless steel embossing system has been designed for easy printing of our MBML series metal cable markers, providing clear and durable identification, crucial for hazardous areas. The key features of this metal marker engraving equipment are:
First of all, what requirements do you have for a cable label or cable marker? Or in other words: What requirements must be fullfilled? Basic aspects here are, for example, whether the material is exposed to temperatures above or below 90 degrees Celsius, whether it should be tamper-proof or UV-resistant.
The HellermannTyton label and marker selection guide will help you. See for yourself and find the right product for your application!
The first step is to determine which cable diameter you need for your application. Or when it comes to labelling or marking cables: what cable diameter am I dealing with?
Once this is known, the HellermannTyton size selection guide will help you find the right product for your application. Try it now!
A special feature is that most HellermannTyton protective laminate labels have rounded corners. This results in higher final adhesion of the protective laminate and counteracts unwanted removal of the wire label, especially with small diameter cables and in heavy applications.
What else to consider and how to calculate the right size for your protective laminate? Check out our instructions for using labels with protective laminate!
HellermannTyton offers various systems that can print different types of material/labels. If you would like to know which product is the right one for your cable label or cable marker, this table gives you a good overview. See for yourself!
Basically, a distinction is made between the following two states: the initial bond, which occurs immediately after the label and surface have been joined, and the final bond, which represents the permanent bonding state between the label and surface after the adhesive has been applied, pressed on and cured. Factors influencing optimum adhesion include the quality of the surface material and the properties of the adhesive.
What else needs to be considered? Learn more in our brochure bonding properties of labels!
If a surface to be marked is wet out with an adhesive, the surface energy is a decisive factor for the maximum achievable adhesive strength of the adhesive – in addition to the adhesive formulation and the surface quality (material, roughness, moisture, etc.).
