Cable Labels
Maintain clear, durable cable identification in even the most dynamic environments with custom-engineered cable labels. Express self-laminating cable labels wrap securely around power, data, and audio-visual cables to protect printed information and ensure long-term readability, even with frequent handling and exposure to challenging conditions.
Each label is tailored to your application. Choose from various wrap sizes to match your cable diameter, with options for barcode symbology, color-coding, serialized or custom data, and optional logos. Whether for temporary setups or permanent installations, Express labels are built for accuracy, clarity, and durability.
Our advanced self-laminating vinyl design provides a flexible yet rugged solution that resists abrasion, mild solvents, moisture, and handling. The label wraps around once for placement, then again to laminate over the printed area, creating a clear protective shield that keeps barcodes scannable and data legible for the life of your cable.
Every Express product is made in the USA under our ISO Certified quality program to ensure superior quality, rapid production cycles, and dependable delivery.
With over 40 years of labeling expertise, Express guarantees top-tier quality, product customization, and long-lasting performance you can trust — every order backed by our complete satisfaction promise.
Cable Labels Provide Cable Management at Film Production & Event Venue Locations
Efficiently identifying the many equipment cables in production settings such as Film Production & Event Venues can present challenges. Durability is essential. Barcoding provides efficiency but lasting and reliable scan-ability is essential. Many labels fall short as cables are handled over time and exposed to elements and cleaners and general abrasion, or stored in coils.
Common Challenges:
- Smudged or worn barcode text from frequent handling or surface abrasion
- Labels peeling off or shifting on curved or flexible surfaces
- Inconsistent cable labeling across projects or departments
- Loss of traceability when cables are removed, reused, or transported
- Water damage or solvent exposure in field setups or harsh environments
At Express, we eliminate these issues with high-performance cable labels that deliver durable, scannable, and field-ready identification solutions:
- Secure Wrap-Around Design: A built-in clear vinyl tail wraps fully around the cable and then over the printed area to protect the label from friction, wear, and environmental exposure.
- Outstanding Barcode Readability: High-contrast imaging ensures reliable scans, even after repeated use or exposure to field conditions.
- Custom Cable Fit: Labels are sized based on your cable diameter, ensuring a snug fit that doesn’t slip or lift.
- Color Coding & Graphics: Add color bands, text, or other indicators to visually organize cables and equipment.
- Durability That Lasts: Our clear vinyl cable label resists water, oil, cleaners, and abrasion—ideal for demanding cable management applications.
