01
Transport labels
For containers, cartons, small load carriers and pallets between supplier, plant and customer. We produce layout and data elements according to the specification agreed with your customer.
Industry solution
Labels for Automotive Marking that links part, container and delivery lot
In the automotive supply chain, traceability depends on a legible marking – across plant boundaries. Oily metal surfaces, returnable containers made of PP and PE, coated components and tight cable radii place very different demands on material and adhesive. We manufacture to your specification, not from a catalogue.
Labels and printed documents
What is marked in the automotive supply chain
Both belong together: the label on the part and the paper that accompanies the container. We supply both from one source.
02
Part and serial labels
For components, assemblies, spare parts and production carriers. With serial or batch reference, 1D and 2D codes from our number range management.
03
Container and kanban labels
For production lots, inspection status, blocked stock and returnable containers. Either removable for container circulation or permanent for a fixed identity.
04
Cable and harness labels
For cable harnesses, wires and connectors. Flag, wrap-around or self-laminating design – matched to jacket diameter and assembly handling.
05
Delivery notes and accompanying documents
Single sheet, continuous or multi-page. Perforated, numbered and with barcode on request – as pallet and container accompanying document.
06
Inspection and hold tags, carbonless sets
Production and inspection travellers, hold and rework tags, 8D forms. As a pad, continuous form or numbered carbonless set with tear-off.

Technical basis
What we discuss before choosing the material
A material recommendation without knowing the substrate, temperature profile and process is guesswork. We clarify these four points with you – every construction is then sampled on your original part.
- Substrate
- Corrugated board and cardboard absorb adhesive differently than plastic
- PP and PE returnable containers can show low surface energy and cleaning residues
- Aluminium, steel, e-coat and powder coating differ in surface energy and roughness
- Media contact
- Oil, cutting fluid and release agent on the part before application
- Cleaning media and wash cycles with returnable containers
- Contact duration and concentration are part of the specification – “resistant” alone is not
- Temperature
- Application temperature and service temperature are two different values
- Temperature changes between production, storage and transport
- Reliable temperature figures apply per material code, not per material class
- Mechanics and exposure
- Vibration and abrasion in continuous operation
- Tight radii and restoring forces on cables and wires
- Outdoor storage, UV and moisture before installation
Variable data
Codes that are still read after transport
An unreadable code interrupts the link between batch and delivery. Code quality does not depend on the material alone but on the interplay of face material, printing system, resolution and speed. Defined test methods exist for the assessment, with ISO/IEC 15416 for 1D and ISO/IEC 15415 for 2D codes – which target grade and which test interval apply to your supply relationship is something we agree with you.
- Number range management for consecutive serial and batch numbers
- Variable data from your master data, checked before printing
- Repeat orders with identical construction and documented material code
Pre-print carries the structure.. Pull the corner – we pre-print frames and fixed data.. Layout to customer specification. Variable data printed by you. Typical for container and transport labels

When the problem is not the label but the process before it
Call-offs, requirements and container data already sit in your ERP or WMS. With hummel360° we map how they turn into ordering, print data and an overview of stock per plant. Built around your chain, not off the shelf.
Plants and suppliers order for themselves
Every plant and every supplier sees only the approved range, enters the variable data and triggers the reorder. You decide who may do what. Suppliers can take part without an account of their own.
Call-off data becomes labels and paperwork
Article, quantity, plant and call-off reference arrive through an interface, CSV or Excel, and goods tags, labels and accompanying documents come out as finished print data. EDI or SFTP are added project by project.
Keep containers and stock in view
Barcodes are generated, printed and scanned with a phone, and every posting lands in the movement journal. Reorder levels per plant speak up before the line stops.

Substrate, temperature profile, process step and printing system – from that comes a material recommendation that we sample on your original part.
