What should be noted after printing cable labels?

After printing cable labels, attention should be paid to the following aspects to ensure the durability and readability of the labels:

1、 Label pasting and fixation

Paste location:

The label should be affixed to a visible location on the front of the cable for easy identification and maintenance in the future.

For DC cables, the label is fixed 5-10mm away from the terminal block; The label of the communication cable is fixed 5-10mm away from the opening of the cable sheath.

Paste method:

Ensure that the label is pasted smoothly, avoiding bubbles or wrinkles to avoid affecting the readability of the label.

For cables with larger diameters, transparent tape can be used to wrap the label around and secure it to prevent it from falling off or wearing out.

Fixed strength:

The fixation of the label should be firm and reliable, and not easily detached. Especially in outdoor or harsh environments, it is necessary to choose label paper with stronger adhesion or use other fixing methods.

2、 Label protection and protection

Waterproof and moisture-proof:

Cable labels should be printed on waterproof label paper to prevent moisture from entering and causing the labels to become blurry or fall off.

In humid environments, additional waterproof coatings or transparent tape can be used to protect the labels.

High temperature resistance:

The label material should have good high temperature resistance to avoid deformation or fading in high temperature environments.

UV protection:

For outdoor cable labels, materials with UV protection function should be selected to extend the service life of the label.

3、 Tag content and format

Content accuracy:

The information on the label should be accurate and correct, including key information such as cable number, specifications, and usage.

Avoid writing blurry or difficult to recognize text on the label to avoid affecting the recognition effect.

Unified format:

The format of cable labels should be standardized, including the setting of elements such as font, size, color, etc.

Follow certain encoding rules and patterns to arrange tag content to improve recognition efficiency.

Update and maintenance:

When the status or purpose of the cable changes, the information on the label should be updated in a timely manner.

Regularly inspect and maintain cable labels to ensure their clarity and readability.

4、 Other precautions

Avoid manual modification:

Cable labels should be printed and generated, and manual filling or alteration is not allowed. This helps maintain the cleanliness and accuracy of the labels.

Storage and Preservation:

Unused label paper and printed labels should be stored and preserved properly. Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humid environments that can damage labels.

Compliance:

In certain industries or fields, the printing and use of cable labels may be subject to specific regulations or standards. Therefore, when printing and using cable labels, it is important to ensure compliance with relevant regulations or standards.

In summary, after printing cable labels, attention should be paid to the adhesion and fixation, protection and preservation, content and format, and other related matters of the labels. These measures help ensure the durability and readability of cable labels, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of cable management.
