Self-adhesive label printers
The printing of self-adhesive labels and their automatic application is one of the important aspects of a modern warehouse, which affects its efficiency. A barcode printed in the right way and in accordance with quality standards (this sphere can be controlled by barcode verifiers) facilitates the receipt of goods into the warehouse, their recognition during storage and picking.

Lineup of Label and Textile Printers
One type of label printer is mobile printers that work with direct thermal technology. They are lightweight and handy devices equipped with batteries and connect to data collectors wirelessly. It is from the data collector and the WMS software running on it that the jobs of printing labels, tickets, or bills come. The mobile label printer streamlines work, allowing to optimize the time of warehousemen, salesmen, conductors and many others responsible for various types of processes. Thanks to the wireless connection to the data collector, cabling is unnecessary, providing greater ergonomics and convenience.
Desktop label printers are ideal for situations where the number of labels does not exceed a few dozen or a few hundred per day. These devices can be used in offices as address label printers or in small e-commerce stores when preparing daily shipments. A desktop label printer is a compact device that makes shipping packages less of a hassle. This is especially important for businesses that don’t have a lot of floor space but still want to use tools to automate their work.
Semi-industrial label printers are a compromise between office label printers and industrial label printers. Their design allows for safe operation in warehouse conditions. They are ideal for printing large quantities of labels in a variety of formats, up to several thousand per day. These printers are the best solution for warehouses, shops, cultural institutions, or museums. Like desktop printers, they don’t take up much space, making them a good fit even in warehouses and rooms with smaller spaces.
The largest printers for self-adhesive labels, featuring a highly durable design and exceptional performance. They can be used in the harshest conditions, such as production halls in metallurgical or food processing plants. Their robust construction and advanced technologies allow for the printing of tens or even hundreds of thousands of self-adhesive labels per day without the risk of damage. These printers perform exceptionally well in continuous operation. Thanks to the durable materials they’re made of, they’ll serve you for many years. Furthermore, these devices meet the highest safety and quality standards.
In a dynamic logistics or manufacturing environment, automatic labeling is a crucial part of the goods scanning process . A label applied to a product, package, or pallet may be pre-printed with variable content—most commonly a barcode. In such cases, we refer to print-and-apply systems. Our company also supplies label applicators without a printing component. These types of solutions are used particularly for applying decorative labels that are printed by a professional label printing company.
Printing on textile tapes and other flexible materials requires equipment designed to guide them precisely and handle the high temperatures involved in thermal transfer printing. Industrial textile printers enable the production of durable and legible prints on materials used, among other things, for the production of clothing tags, fabric composition labels, care instructions, and identification labels.
The HKK Group’s product lineup includes specialized CAB SQUIX 4 MT printers, equipped with solutions that facilitate the stable feeding of textile materials and the separation of the thermal transfer ribbon from the printed substrate. These devices are well-suited for use in the apparel and textile industries, as well as in the production of mattresses and upholstered furniture, and for marking technical textiles.
Some labels require specific information to be clearly highlighted using color—particularly warnings, symbols, or pictograms. Industrial two-color label printers allow you to apply two colors in a single printing process, without the need for labels with a pre-printed color design.
CAB XC Q printers use two thermal transfer print heads and two independent ribbon cartridges. This enables them, among other things, to print black-and-red warning labels and markings compliant with the GHS system. This solution is primarily used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, in the production of paints, varnishes, and detergents, and in any application where color serves an important informational or warning function.
In the case of tags, textile tapes, or technical markings, the information area can be used on both sides of the material. Industrial printers designed for double-sided printing allow both prints to be applied in a single pass through the machine, without having to manually flip the material or restart the process.
CAB XD Q printers are equipped with two thermal transfer print heads located on opposite sides of the material. They allow printing on, among other things, textile tapes, tags, synthetic materials, wire and cable markings, and heat-shrink sleeves. Double-sided printing allows you to include more information without increasing the size of the label itself.

What should you look for when choosing a label printer?
What should you look for when choosing a label printer?
-
- Printing technology – e.g., thermal or thermal transfer. A thermal label printer uses paper on which the image is formed by the heat of the print head, without the use of additional consumables. Thermal transfer printing, on the other hand, involves transferring dye from a ribbon to the label using heat, which produces a durable and long-lasting print on various types of materials.

- Size and Workload – A compact mobile printer is used for field work, in warehouses, or at workstations. In contrast, a larger industrial label printer is designed for continuous printing in harsh manufacturing environments.
- Manufacturer and System Compatibility – Modern models, such as the Zebra label printer, are designed for integration with WMS systems and Auto ID solutions. As a result, they enable efficient data exchange and seamless integration of the device into existing logistics and production processes.
- Process Automation – we also offer automation equipmentthat enable unattended printing and label application on production lines, thereby significantly reducing the risk of errors.
- Supported Materials and Label Formats – The selected model must be compatible with the types of labels used, such as paper or synthetic labels, and should support the formats and sizes of labels used in the warehouse and in production.
