Label Overview

Ribbons

A label reflects the quality of a company and its products
Zygology Systems has long been recognised as a supplier of high-end synthetics labels. However, we are equally adept at manufacturing low-cost paper and custom labels.

Too many label choices?
Because of the multitude of label materials, adhesives and thermal ribbons it can be difficult for label specifiers to make the right choice. When it comes to choosing a label supplier things are no easier!

Our customers range from those using high-volume paper labels on cartons to those applying synthetic labels to plastics.

How we can help
We are a providor of label solutions with access to the most advanced label materials and adhesives. Whether it is a PC board label which must withstand soldering temperatures and an acid bath wash, or a paper label to meet bar code compliance requirements, we have the expertise to ensure customers receive superior quality labels that meet their needs.

Labels are a combination of topcoat, paper or film (PE, polyester etc.), adhesive, release coating and release liner. For thermal transfer printing the products are then matched to an appropriate ribbon and printer.

Top coat Print-receptive surface coating
FacestockBase material for receiving print or direct thermal energy
AdhesiveProvides adhesion of printed label
Release CoatingEnsures controlled separation of label from liner
Release LinerCarrier for label

Custom labels and tags are available in an infinite variety of sizes and materials. Paper labels are used for box or carton labelling. Synthetic labels are fixed to products as they need to be durable and last for the life of the product. Synthetic labels range from low-cost polyethylene and polypropylene to ultra-durable polyimide.

We have products that give reliable performance on a wide range of difficult surfaces. We can manufacture and supply labels that are tough enough to endure extremes of temperature and solvent exposure that destroy lesser products.
