The best print system is only as good as the right material. We provide marking and data carriers that last, stay legible and reliably suit your application.
What are labels & consumables?
Labels and consumables make sure information stays where it is needed. They include self-adhesive labels, special labels, ribbons and other data carriers for the reliable marking of products, goods and equipment. What matters is the right interplay of material, adhesive, print method and operating environment.
Material expertise from our own production.
Since 1996 we have produced labels in our own plant, with an in-house laboratory where we test adhesion, durability and printability under your real conditions. Whether deep-freeze, chemicals or outdoor use: we advise on the right material, supply the matching ribbon and make sure every label delivers what it promises. Label, material and advice from one source instead of many separate solutions.
Process
Four steps to marking that suits product, process and environment.
In four steps, from the first analysis to ongoing, fully supported operation.
The right label for every application.
Which label you need depends on the application: surface, environment and how long the marking has to last.
Versatile
Standard labels

Top performance. It is a pleasure to have you as a supplier. I will certainly order material from you again.
Very friendly and fast. Yes, I will work with you again, we are very satisfied.
As a new customer I was advised and served excellently.
A label sounds like a simple product at first. For us it was not. We kept having problems with adhesion and legibility under difficult conditions. OPAL tested several materials and finally recommended a solution that really works. Since then we simply reorder and no longer have to think about it.
What I liked: nobody tried to sell us a standard label. First they asked where it is used, on which surface, at which temperatures and how long it has to last. The result fits. That is exactly the advice I expect from a specialist partner.
It has to stick, stay legible and run reliably through the process. It does. We do not need more than that.

Frequently asked questions.
Direct thermal labels are printed without a ribbon and suit short-lived applications such as shipping and weighing. Thermal transfer labels are printed with a ribbon, are smudge-proof and durable and suit labelling that has to last.
For this we use special labels designed for temperature, humidity and aggressive media. In our in-house laboratory we test adhesion and durability under your real conditions.
RFID labels contain an integrated transponder and allow contactless bulk capture of several objects in real time.
Yes. We advise on the right material, supply the matching ribbon and make sure every label delivers what it promises, instead of many isolated solutions.
