Forestry & Mill Labels

Use long-lasting Polytag label material for finished lumber in a harsh environment. If you are tagging and labeling finished lumber for a home center or your own lumber yard, you need easy-to-read labels that will last.  Harsh environments can take a toll on labels and your bottom line. Bar codes need to be readable from assembly line to customer check-out. We can help.

 Materials:

  • Polytag label material, our high-strength film tag designed for outdoor applications, is ideal for nurseries, forestry and saw mills.
  • Polytag works great with thermal-transfer printers like Zebra and Datamax.
  • Weber can print your labels to match your labeling system or provide you with a labelling system


Artwork: 

saw mill

  • If the lumber is under a private label, the company logo should be a unique color and shape to be recognized at a distance.
  • Leave room for the UPC bar code to be imprinted with enough clear white space around it so that it scans correctly.
  • When imprinting the dimension information on your tag, be sure the characters are large enough to be readable to avoid customer confusion.

    Pressure-sensitive adhesive works not only due to its initial tack, but also its slight absorption into the surface of the label substrate. Because the specific characteristics of different substrates can prevent the absorption of adhesive and therefore weaken its adhesion, it is important to consider the substrate material and texture, its shape and its temperature at application.

    fastagger-applying-labels

    You probably know that meeting UPC bar code requirements can be a job in itself. Manually stapling tags onto ends of lumber is not only time-consuming, but also tiring. That’s why Weber developed the improved FasTagger II end-tagger. The FasTagger II is a labeling system specially built for lumber mills and forestry product companies that combines a heavy-duty stapler with a label dispensing apparatus that allows one-handed end tagging of finished lumber.
