K-Sun adds new tapes to LabelShop line

­K-Sun Corporation, a manufacturer of labeling systems, printers, software and supplies, has added two new tapes to its LabelShop line: white removable and silver matte. The K-Sun LabelShop line of thermal transfer tapes now has 60 color-and-size combinations with new 0.5” black on white removable adhesive (part no. 212RA) and 0.75” black on silver matte (part no. 218SM).   

‘The versatility of repositionable tape and the visibility of the silver matte tape are both highly requested in numerous industries such as in medical labeling,’ said Mike Kasun, president of K-Sun Corp. ‘Our K-Sun LabelShop cartridges are recyclable and halogen-free, too. So professionals who want to go ‘green’ can do so with our tapes.’ 

The black on white removable tape is durable and tear-resistant yet repositionable for identification, barcoding or sequential alphanumeric or variable data. It is designed for labeling glassware, metals, plastic or other equipment for repeat usage, when labels might need to be removed quickly without leaving adhesive residue. The flexible polyester material and initial tack is strong enough for permanent adhesion on both radial and flat surfaces, can withstand variable and harsh temperatures, and is chemical-, smear- and UV fade-resistant. Symbol libraries available include laboratory, medical and chemical, homeland security and electrical with K-Sun MaxiLabel Pro Version 3 software that accompanies several models of K-Sun LabelShop thermal-transfer printers. 

The repositionable tape is also suitable for whiteboards, records and files, tool rooms, reusable shipping containers, inventory/warehouse shelving, work-in-progress applications, office use, shelf pricing and dozens more applications where label removal and repositioning is needed. The white background provides easy visibility on many surfaces.

The new black on silver matte is designed for barcode, asset management and property protection/inventory for warehouses, plants, libraries, labs, offices and other facilities. Designed for permanent positioning on a wide variety of surface materials, silver matte is suited to use with barcode readers and can withstand extreme temperatures, abrasion and pressure. 

The tapes are made of a durable, all-weather polyester base with an industrial grade acrylic adhesive. The tapes comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-606A standards and can be mounted on curved surfaces. Tapes tests have yielded a 5-to-7 year outdoor life, and tapes can withstand extreme heat and cold temperatures.
