Thomas & Betts Offers Red Flexible Vinyl and Clear Permanent Polyester Labels



New Labeling Tape Selections Are Available for E-Z-Code® EZL-100 Thermal Label Printer

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - June 6, 2006 - Thomas & Betts has added red flexible vinyl and clear permanent polyester tapes to its line of labels for the E-Z-Code® EZL-100 Thermal Label Printer. Both selections offer an EZ-Peel split backing, industrial-strength adhesive and smear-free printing, and are available in easily loaded cassettes that hold 18 feet of tape.

Available in 3/4-inch width, the red vinyl tape (catalog number EZ-RV34) is highly visible, applicable in indoor and outdoor environments and is resistant to oils, dirt, grime and solvents. The tape offers flexibility and a strong adhesive, which enable it to hold firmly to flat or curved surfaces, as well as smooth to highly textured ones. Applications include pipe, wire and cable marking. Its vivid red color makes it ideal for safety identification.

The clear polyester tape, available in 1/2- and 3/4-inch widths (catalog numbers EZ-CP12 and EZ-CP34, respectively), adheres permanently to smooth to moderately textured flat surfaces, such as bin tags, switch plates, terminal blocks, shelving and patch panels. The clear material provides a professional, seamless label.

"The addition of the red flexible vinyl and clear permanent polyester tapes to the selection of labels expands the number of uses for the EZL-100 Thermal Label Printer," said Dan Vega, product manager for Thomas & Betts, Industrial Products Group. "The red vinyl labeling tape's versatility enables it to be useful in manufacturing, maintenance and panel building, as well as labeling wire and cable for electrical, telecommunications and security applications. The clear permanent polyester tape enables only the label's legend to be visible, giving the label a clean, professional appearance."
