Flexible and individual: Heat Shrink Tubing Printed

Techflex Germany offers you the opportunity to have heat shrink tubing printed with a suitable label without having to invest in expensive printing systems yourself. Our experts use modern thermal transfer printing technology to create durable and abrasion-resistant labels on your heat shrink tubing. The process ensures that the printing is highly durable and can withstand even the most demanding environments. Our printed shrink sleeves are manufactured according to your specifications and are ready for immediate use.

The flexibility of our printing service allows you to print almost any desired information on the shrink sleeves. This includes not only simple text information such as cable numbers or technical specifications, but also more complex graphics such as logos, warnings or barcodes. Clear and detailed labeling is essential to avoid confusion and increase safety.

Have Your Heat Shrink Tubing Printed: These are the advantages 

Printed heat shrink tubing simplifies cable marking and offers numerous advantages in use. If you decide to have heat-shrinkable tubing printed at Techflex, you will benefit from individual customization, among other things. We cut to the desired length, create individual packaging and packaging units as well as labels.  We can also send directly to your customers on request. 

However, having heat shrink tubing printed by experts offers many other advantages:

Durability thanks to high-quality printing

In addition to the already long service life of the shrink sleeves, the markings are also robust and resistant to extreme temperatures, chemicals and abrasion, meaning they can still be read years later.  

Improved safety thanks to printed shrink sleeves

Clear marking is crucial for safety in industrial applications. When you have heat shrink tubing printed, you guarantee that important information such as cable types, voltages or other safety-relevant details can be recognized directly on the tubing. This minimizes the risk of incorrect connections and increases general operational safety.

    Simple application and assembly

The use of heat-shrink tubing is uncomplicated and quick. They are simply pulled over the cable to be labeled and shrunk by heating. If the heat-shrink tubing is printed, this not only saves time but also reduces the likelihood of errors compared to other methods such as self-adhesive labels.

    Individual design options

If you want to have a shrink sleeve printed, we at Techflex offer a wide range of design options. You can choose from different colors, sizes and layouts. It is also possible to integrate brand names, logos or special symbols. This means that your company, your brand or that of your customer is also directly visible on cables. 

    Cost efficiency

The Techflex printing service eliminates the need and costs for in-house printing systems. This not only reduces investment costs, but also the running costs for maintenance and materials. Our customers benefit from an efficient, cost-effective process - without compromising on quality. 

    Environmental friendliness

We attach great importance to environmentally friendly production. Our heat shrink tubing is made from recyclable polyolefin, which reduces the environmental impact. We also use resource-saving technologies in our production process.

Shrink tubing printing: optimized maintenance and logistics

The clear and permanent marking of the printed heat-shrink tubing facilitates the maintenance and management of cable systems. In complex systems, this enables quick identification, which shortens the time required for maintenance work and increases efficiency. Good cable identification is essential for maintenance and optimized logistics. All the better if the cables in printed shrink sleeves can be assigned immediately and maintenance can be carried out with maximum efficiency.

Compliance with legal regulations

In many industries, there are strict regulations for labeling cables. Our printed heat-shrink tubing helps you to meet these requirements by providing permanently legible identification.  

A particular advantage of heat-shrink tubing is its adaptability to different cable diameters and shapes. Due to the shrink rate, which is variable with Techflex tubing, the tubing adapts perfectly to the contours of the cable, ensuring secure and permanent marking. This is particularly important in areas where cables are exposed to different external conditions and require a flexible solution.
 

Choosing the right heat shrink tubing 

There are several factors to consider when choosing the right heat shrink tubing for your application, including the material, shrink rate and cable diameter. Techflex offers heat shrink tubing in various shrink ratios, including 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1. These ratios indicate the percentage by which the diameter of the heat shrink tubing can be reduced by heating. Consult us to find out which shrink ratio suits your project and whether printing is possible.

We take the pressure off you: we not only send your individual heat-shrink tubing directly to you, but also, if desired, to your customers ¬- individually assembled. 

Different materials and possible applications for printed shrink tubing

Many of our shrink sleeves are made from high-quality polyolefins. This is a robust and at the same time flexible plastic composition. Polyolefin shrink tubing, which you can obtain from us with or without adhesive, offers excellent chemical resistance, is temperature-resistant and easy to process. These properties make them ideal for use in various industries, such as the automotive industry, telecommunications and medical technology. Thanks to the use of polyolefin, the tubing is not only more durable but also more environmentally friendly than many alternatives, as it is recyclable.

Polyolefin shrink tubing is also particularly suitable for printing. These are special shrink sleeves that are rolled flat and therefore provide the ideal conditions for marking. 

In addition to printable heat-shrink tubing and polyolefin, our range also includes heat-shrink tubing made from special materials that are suitable for special applications. For cosmetic applications, we offer PVC Ultra Clear shrink tubing, while fabric shrink tubing impresses with its high flexibility and chemical resistance. For particularly demanding environments, we recommend our high temperature heat shrink tubing made from Kynar and Viton® fluoroelastomer.
