Loop lock tags
Loop lock tags are a popular choice for plant nurseries and garden centres because they attach securely to stems, branches, or pots without the need for adhesives. Made from durable, waterproof materials, they withstand outdoor conditions and remain readable throughout the plant’s life cycle. These tags are ideal for pricing, barcodes, care instructions, and branding.
- Available blank or custom printed
- Suitable for thermal transfer and laser printing
- Ideal for barcodes, SKU labels, and branding
- Strong locking mechanism stays put in all weather
Thermal transfer ribbons
Our thermal transfer ribbons deliver crisp, durable print quality on horticultural labels, even in demanding outdoor environments. Designed to work with a wide range of thermal transfer printers, these ribbons produce sharp barcodes, text, and graphics that resist fading, moisture, and abrasion. Perfect for nurseries and garden centres needing long-lasting identification.
Direct thermal or thermal transfer labels
Choose from direct thermal or thermal transfer labels depending on how durable you need your print to be.
Direct thermal printing is ribbon-free, fast, and great for everyday plant labelling. Thermal transfer delivers maximum longevity, producing crisp, fade-resistant print that stands up to weather and handling. Whatever your setup, we offer labels compatible with most leading horticultural printers.
Waterproof Labels for Your Plants
Waterproof labels are the most widely used option in horticulture, offering excellent durability in outdoor environments. Most clients choose plain white synthetic labels when they need strong weather resistance and a surface that can be easily wiped clean. These labels are ideal for printing prices, barcodes, product descriptions, and plant information.
When using synthetic (plastic) labels, it’s important to pair them with resin thermal transfer ribbons to achieve a long-lasting, scratch-resistant print. Resin ribbons won’t fade, ensuring your labels remain clear and readable for years.
Loop-Lock Labels to Name Your Plants
Versatile and durable, loop-lock labels are ideal for identifying plants, shrubs and trees. They can be supplied plain or pre-printed, available in both roll and sheet formats.
Manufactured from tough, weather-resistant material, our loop-lock tags provide long-lasting performance in outdoor environments. The smooth face stock ensures excellent print quality, especially when used with thermal transfer printers.

What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer labels?
