Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a ribbon to print on these labels?

Yes, MetaliTAG labels are thermal-transfer printable and require a ribbon to be printed. To achieve the proper printout, these labels require a XAR-class ribbon of the same width or larger.

Can I apply these labels to already frozen surfaces?

No, MetaliTAG labels are best applied at room temperature.

Can MetaliTAG labels be removed?

Can I wrap these labels around the corner of my metal rack?

No, MetaliTAG labels are best used for flat or slightly curved metal surfaces that are exposed to cryogenic conditions. We do not recommend the labels be applied around edges or folded over as the labels may partially detach.

How do I print MetaliTAG labels from a template?

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.

Can I have these labels preprinted by you with my desired information?
