Labels for Pearls / Jewellery Labels for Strands of Beads / Bead Labels

Pearl strands as any strands of beads make special demands on jewellery labels. At the same time as individual labelling, users also want tamper-proof sealing of the strand's open end. The label should reliably prevent beads from being lost, exchanged or stolen unnoticed. For this purpose, the bead label and bead strand are connected with a metal eyelet so that the attached label seals the strand and protects it from unauthorised access.
The pearl label therefore needs a precisely fitting opening so that an eyelet can be inserted and sealed to the label material by closing the label. After closing, the eyelet must not be able to be removed from the label without damaging it.

Individual Labels for Pearls and Beads

Custom-made examples of pearl labels and bead labels
 

We develop label shapes for strands of pearls and beads according to individual requirements. They are always self-adhesive and designed for marking in label printers. For handwriting, it is also possible to mark our pearl labels with a suitable pen. We can colour suitable adhesive materials as required and print them with a lettering or logo. Hot foil stamping is also possible.

Labels for Pearls and Beads with protective cover

Pearl labels are particularly effective as WrapTags. Here, two additional label fields made of glossy, transparent foil are wrapped around the printed inscription fields as the label is folded and enclose them. Pearl labels as WrapTags have a higher stability, carry more weight and are less sensitive to dirt.
 

Pearl labels for hanging

Jewellery labels for pearls and beads often also have to take into account that strands of pearls and beads are stored hanging. Pearl labels therefore also require an opening for the hanging device. Accordingly, labels for strands of pearls and beads must have sufficient strength to carry a certain weight without being damaged.

Metal eyelets for pearl and bead labels as well as the necessary eyeletting machine for sealing can be found in the "Accessories" section.

Dumbbell Labels / Jewellery labels in Dumbbell shape / Labels for Rings

Jewellery labels in dumbbell shape or dumbbell labels are also called barbell labels. In the eXtra4 product range they were previously listed as ring labels. Dumbbell labels can be regarded as precursors of loop labels. Since the bridge with its fixed length proves to be too inflexible, e.g. it often does not work for wide rings, dumbbell-shaped jewellery labels have largely been replaced by loop labels. Here the label adapts to the jewellery as required, because the loop can be handled longer or shorter. Due to a lack of demand, dumbell labels are no longer available from stock at eXtra4 Labelling Systems.

 

The whole variety on request

If you still want to order dumbbell labels, you can choose from various types in numerous sizes, especially for labelling via label printer.
All self-adhesive dumbbell labels have glue-free bridges to prevent the jewellery from being soiled by glue. For shapes with a flap for fully glued materials, the flap seals the bridge, but this requires more time and care when applying.
 
Please note: Dumbbell labels are difficult to control for many label printers.
The mostly centrally positioned web sensors of the devices run over the narrow bridge and thus cannot correctly detect the height of the label.
 

Rivets or eyelets - repositionable or sealed

Dumbbell-shaped labels are partly equipped with a hole for closing. They can be resealed and attached to jewellery with plastic rivets. If dumbbell labels are to be permanently attached to pieces of jewellery, they can also be attached with metal eyelets and eyelet pliers.
 

Loop labels / Jewellery labels with loop

Jewellery labels with loop or loop labels are the most versatile shape among our jewellery labels. With it practically all kinds of jewellery pieces can be labelled. Marking takes place in a label printer, usually a thermal transfer printer, especially when barcodes are used. Marking by hand is possible. Shapes especially suitable for handwriting are highlighted separately.
Please pay attention to this icon for manual marking:   

What makes the loop so special

The loop is generally glue-free over its entire length, except for the tip. So you can be sure that no glue sticks to the jewellery and contaminates it. In addition, the label remains movable after application. If a firm fit is expressly required, our loop labels can also be supplied completely glued.
For higher priced jewellery we recommend loop labels with transparent loop. They look particularly discreet and show a piece of jewellery to its best advantage.

Group Mini

Labelling field height less than 8mm

The Mini group includes loop labels whose labeling fields are less than 8 mm high. The labeling fields can be arranged either one below the other or next to each other.
For loop labels of the Mini group we recommend thermal transfer printers with at least 300 dpi resolution. The use of barcodes is usually not possible here for space reasons.

          
 

Group Small

Labelling field height from 8mm, less than 10mm

In the Small group, we have combined loop labels whose labeling fields are between 8 and 10 mm high. The labelling fields can be positioned either one below the other or next to each other.
We recommend marking loop labels of the Small group in a thermal transfer printer with at least 300 dpi resolution.

          
 

Group Standard

Labelling field height from 10mm, less than 12mm

Loop labels of the Standard group are the most popular with our customers. The height of their labelling fields is between 10 and 12 mm. The labelling fields can be arranged next to each other or one below the other.
The Standard group of loop labels is suitable for thermal transfer printers with a resolution of 200 dpi or higher. Even when barcodes are used, they offer sufficient space for additional texts.
 
        

 

Group Big

Labelling field height over 12mm and larger

The Big group contains loop labels with labelling fields from 12 mm high and larger. The labeling fields are positioned either one below the other or next to each other. This label size enables the printing of EAN-13 barcodes in standardized size.
Even loop labels of the Big group are suitable for thermal transfer printers of the desktop class with a maximum web width of 110 mm. Only in exceptional cases must a device with a larger web width be used due to its shape.
 
        
 

Group Special

Unusual shapes

The Special group consitsts of loop labels with special shapes. For example, labelling fields also have round shapes, are positioned crosswise, not lengthwise to the loop, form a kind of booklet after folding, have perforations for tearing off or have punched holes. There are many possibilities for deviations from the standard.
The suitability of loop labels from Special group for certain types of thermal transfer printers must be clarified in detail. Let us advise you!

 
               
 

Group slimLINE                                    

for slim label printers

The slimLINE group includes loop labels which are particularly designed for use in thermal transfer printers with a narrow design and a maximum web width of 60 mm. The labelling fields are not next to each other, but below each other. The printable area remains unchanged.
 
Folded and applied, slimLINE loop labels cannot be distinguished from conventional shapes. Since they are folded on the long side instead of the narrow side, handling is faster and easier. Of course, slimLINE labels can also be used in thermal transfer printers with larger web widths.
 
        Please see brochure slimLINE starter package: 

The complete slimLINE range from stock with more than 50 different
shapes also includes other types of labels.

Group Handwriting  

for marking by hand

Basically, our loop labels on rolls for use in thermal transfer printers can also be marked by hand. How well this works and how long the marking lasts depends on the writing utensil used. If you want to be sure that loop labels can be easily written on by hand and that the writing is in any case smear-resistant, use our permanent markers and our loop labels made of special material and zigzag-folded.

How to close loop labels correctly

  The loop is placed around the piece of jewellery and glued with the tip into one of the labelling fields, before the other labelling field is folded in and glued over it. Make sure that the loop is not closed too tight so that the jewellery label cannot open again due to the restoring forces of the material.
Please pay attention to our video tutorials or to our illustrated instructions.
Loop labels with extra long loops are therefore available for rings, bracelets or bracelets with large widths.

How to use loop labels as tags with thread

 
Where the application of a loop is not possible or desired, the loop label can still be used. You simply cut the loop and make a tag out of it. One of our pre-knotted threads on the roll is placed in the fold of the labelling fields before it is folded. The thread can then be attached to any piece of jewellery.
Please pay attention to our illustrated instructions.

How to use loop labels as versatile adhesive labels

Alternatively, it is possible to use the loop label without loop simply as an adhesive label. For this purpose, the labelling fields are sticked on directly. If space is limited, such as on a pads for ear studs, the labelling fields can also be separated. If the label should be easy to remove despite strong adhesive, for example from plastic surfaces, a suitable label with removable adhesive can be used as base.
Please pay attention to our illustrated instructions.
