SHOW REVIEW K
KTʼs affordable labels system is great for trophies KT Labels
Show. Itʼs perfect for thermal printing metallic labels for trophies and awards and lends itself to all kinds of environments from school sports days to golfing tournaments, school proms and more. At £350, the hardwear is very affordable when compared with the (approx) £2,500 outlay for an engraving machine. The Smart Choice delivers durable results at the rate of 50 labels in seven seconds. KT Labelsʼ John Baines said the technology is even lending itself to use in cemeteries!
The printed label, together with a QR code, can be applied to memorials and headstones. By scanning the code it will take you to a video or photograph of the deceased.
Said John: “The labels are the same thickness as a metal plate, however they can be curled to apply to curved trophies.” John demonstrated the labels for P&P,
T Labels unveiled their latest label printer, The Smart Choice, at The Schoolwear
printing the editorʼs name on a label, together with a QR code which takes you to the P&P website.
The technology is perfect for school events and can be used to print “The Class Of” labels for end of year school memorabilia.
The maximum width that can be printed is 4in. The labels work out at 10-12p to print and a variety of fonts is available. Another breakthrough product for KT Labels is the new Funky Feet Peel-n- Stick Nametapes, a solution to identifying your footwear These Peel-n-Stick nametapes are made with extra strong adhesive that will make sure that the nametapes stick right in the place inside your footwear.
Since no two feet are the same, the quality of these funky feet nametapes are manufactured in such a way that it suits and withstands the most severe conditions like moisture, sweat, heat and rubbing, says John.
