Automotive Labels

Over 40 million passenger cars are produced worldwide each year - the main output of the global automotive industry. Almost all of these passenger cars and other units require one, two or multiple high performance durable automotive labels, increasingly with security features.

Each vehicle has hundreds of parts that require a label - barcode, batch code, manufacturer, etc. These labels must last as long as the vehicle.

TPL automotive labels are TS16949 approved and manufactured from materials and adhesives that withstand harsh environments. Our labels are durable, resistant to abrasion and chemicals and provide full traceability for car manufacturers and their suppliers.

Under Bonnet Labelling

Under bonnet labels are printed labels that have a permanent, durable adhesive, and are affixed to metal surfaces (especially coated/plated steels and aluminium). To be suitable for under bonnet automotive applications, labels must be able to withstand fluctuating high and low operating temperatures and have good resistance to a range of defined chemicals, solvents and oil based products.

Warning and Decal Labels

Warning labels contain safety information and must adhere securely to the vehicle and remain intact and readable for the life of the vehicle.

Safety labels may warn users about possible dangers when using the product, or they can be instructional labels on its proper use. They are used on many durable products, such as power tools, outdoor power equipment or under the car bonnet.

Odette Labels

Odette labels are the industry standard for the automotive industry and are usually attached to the container or package, to accurately identify the goods via bar coding and to relate the physical arrival of the goods to the previously received ODETTE Despatch Advice message.

The Transport Label, typically A5 size, is divided up into a number of boxes, called fields. These fields are divided into two categories, shipping details and part details.

Rattle and Squeak Die Cut Pads

Rattle and squeak abrasion protection films are used extensively in the automotive market to reduce vibration and noise especially on the internal trim of the vehicle, for instance the dashboard and roof lining etc.

Polyurethane (PU) film and foam is used
Aliphatic, UV stable
Aromatic, non-UV stable (more widely used, inside the vehicle)

These materials have been found to perform better than other filmic products that failed due to wear and led to rattle and squeak.

VIN

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) labels are becoming a standard requirement across most segments of the automotive industry. The 17 character VIN label contains the following information:

World automotive manufacturer identification
Type of restraint system
Manufacturers specifications
Line, series and body type
Engine type
A check digit
Year of model
Where the vehicle was assembled
Production sequence number
