Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Steri-ThermoTAG labels are thermal-transfer printable and require a ribbon to be printed. To achieve the proper printout, these labels require a smudge-proof RR-class ribbon of the same width or larger.
No, Steri-ThermoTAG labels can only be printed with thermal-transfer printers. For laser and inkjet printable autoclave-resistant labels we suggest Steri-LazrTAG and Steri-JetTAG.
Yes, we offer two kinds of autoclave tape. Our TAUT-class autoclave-resistant tape that can be printed with thermal-transfer printers, and our STRAT-class tape, which is perfect for use as an indicator of steam sterilization.
Yes, Steri-ThermoTAG labels can withstand high-heat conditions, up to temperatures of +150°C.
No, Steri-ThermoTAG labels are not suited for deep-freeze or cryogenic applications. For thermal-transfer labeling solutions that are both autoclave-resistant and withstand storage in cryogenic conditions, click here.
No, Steri-ThermoTAG labels are not chemical-resistant. For autoclave-resistant labels that will resist exposure to alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, click here.
No, our removable autoclave-resistant labels are not available in color. They can however be offered in color, for more information contact our technical support team.
Yes, these labels are coated with a glove-friendly adhesive, made for easy removal. For permanent autoclave-resistant labels click here.
No, AUTR-class labels do not have an indicator strip that changes color when the labels have been autoclaved. For Steri-ThermoTAG labels with an indicator strip, we offer our SAUP-class labels.
No, AUTR-class labels are not designed to be applied over existing labels. For covering-up obsolete or inaccurate labels, we recommend our BOA-class blackout thermal-transfer labels.
No, Steri-ThermoTAG is not offered in piggyback format. However, we do offer thermal-transfer piggyback labels that are suitable for autoclave applications, see here.
No, we do not offer a clear version of Steri-ThermoTAG. For transparent thermal-transfer autoclave-resistant labels, we suggest our GANA-class Cryo-OmniTAG labels.
Barcoding or label design software can be used to create templates that conform to the size of your label. You can then insert design elements within the template, for easy printing.
Yes, we can provide our autoclave-resistant labels preprinted with full-color graphics and logos, as well as variable or serialized information from a database. Learn more about our custom printing options.
