Heat-shrink label tape Shumee 9 mm × 1.5 m white for label printers (MPN 18053)

Heat-shrink label tape Shumee 9 mm × 1.5 m white is a heat-shrinkable identification tape designed for use with compatible label printers. It provides a neat, durable marking solution for wires, cables and components by shrinking to form a tight, protective sleeve over printed text. The 9 mm width and 1.5 m length make it suitable for marking multiple conductors or creating several individual labels from a single roll. The white surface offers clear contrast for dark printed characters, improving legibility in electrical panels and wiring installations.

Advantages

The tape shrinks uniformly when heated, creating a robust, abrasion-resistant covering that preserves printed information and protects underlying insulation. Its printable white finish ensures high readability with common thermal-transfer or direct thermal label printers that support heat-shrink materials. The flexible construction conforms to various cable diameters and maintains adhesion and clarity after shrinkage, providing long-term identification in indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Marking electrical wires and cable bundles
• Panel and terminal identification in control cabinets
• Insulation repair and protective sleeving for small-diameter cables
• General asset and component labeling where a heat-shrink finish is required

Key specifications

• Material: heat-shrink polyolefin-style tape suitable for printing
• Color: white surface optimized for high-contrast printing
• Width: 9 mm
• Length: 1.5 m total roll length
• Shrink behavior: designed to contract uniformly when heat is applied
• Finish: smooth printable surface for clear, durable text

How to use

Print the required text using a compatible label printer that supports heat-shrink media, taking care to set appropriate print density and font size for a 9 mm width. Cut the printed sections to the desired lengths and slide them over the wire or component before applying heat. Apply uniform heat using a heat gun or other controlled heat source until the tape shrinks tightly around the substrate and the printed text becomes clear. Allow the sleeve to cool to ensure full adhesion and dimensional stability.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, test print settings and shrink procedure on a sample length to confirm legibility and shrink fit for your specific wires and printer model. Use steady, even heat at a safe distance to avoid overheating insulation or nearby components. Store unopened rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain printability and performance.
