FAQs
What is the primary use for DYMO IND Heat-Shrink Tube Labels?
These labels are primarily used for durable, professional wire and cable identification in industrial, electrical, and jobsite environments, offering heat shrink and flame retardant properties.
What size are these heat-shrink labels?
The tape width is 6mm, and the tape length is 1.5 meters. They feature a 3:1 heat shrink ratio.
Are these labels compatible with all DYMO label makers?
No, these are specifically for DYMO Industrial label makers that are designed to use the IND Heat-Shrink Tube tape cartridges.
Can I use these labels outdoors?
Yes, they are jobsite tested and designed to withstand various environmental conditions, including a wide temperature range (-55 to 135 °C).
What does '3:1 heat shrink ratio' mean?
It means the tubing can shrink down to one-third of its original diameter when heated, allowing it to fit snugly around wires of varying sizes.
How do I ensure the label stays permanently attached?
After printing, the tubing is placed on the wire and then heated. The heat causes the tubing to shrink tightly onto the wire, creating a permanent bond.
What is the color of the label and text?
The label itself is yellow, and the printed text is black, providing high contrast for readability.
Troubleshooting
Label not adhering after shrinking
Ensure the surface of the wire/cable is clean and dry. Verify sufficient heat was applied during the shrinking process.
Text smudging after printing
Allow the printed label to cool completely before handling. Ensure the label maker's thermal print head is clean.
Tape not feeding correctly
Check that the tape cartridge is correctly inserted and that there are no obstructions within the label maker.
Shrinking unevenly
Ensure consistent heat application with the heat gun. The tubing should shrink uniformly around the wire.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your DYMO Industrial Label Maker is loaded with the IND Heat-Shrink Tube tape cartridge.
- Print your desired text. The label will print onto the tubing.
- Cut the printed tubing to the desired length using the label maker's cutter or scissors.
- Place the cut tubing over the wire or cable you wish to label.
- Apply heat using a heat gun. The tubing will shrink and conform to the wire, permanently securing the label.

- Compatible with a range of DYMO Industrial models, check your label maker's specifications for tape compatibility.
Care:

- Avoid exposing unused tape to extreme temperatures before application.
- Clean the printed area with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh solvents.
