Tyre

Supplyline either directly or through our partners supply a number of OEM, Tier I / Tier II & Tier III suppliers and manufacturers. We are experts at working with the Automotive Sector & their suppliers achieving the “just in time” (JIT) delivery scheduling and manufacturing excellence they expect and that is needed.

These include companies like JLR, Bentley Motors, Yamaha Europe & Ford.

We supply many more companies like these in this industry but due to the sensitive nature of their business and our relationship with them we would only discuss these details directly with serious end user enquiries, which we would welcome.

If you want to find out why so many Wholesale companies trust and deal with SupplylineID please get in touch.

LABEL TYPES FOR TYRES FROM SUPPLYLINE ID

Car tyre labels are an important part of a regulation introduced by the EU in 2012 with the aim to offer more information to consumers on tyre safety and the tyre’s impact on the environment.

In August 2018, the EU made an announcement in regards to their plan to update and improve current regulations by making it a requirement for any retailers to show the labels to motorists when tyres are purchased.

It is expected that the new regulations will also require labels to include the tyres’ snow and ice performance, as well as ratings for mileage and wear.

Supplyline offers a range of suitable label substrates and adhesives that would suit this application. None however would we recommend more than Avery Fastyre, a product specially designed to meet the performance requirements of automotive tyre labelling.

With a high-tack rubber based adhesive designed for use on rough and difficult surfaces such as tyre rubber. The product will remain free of staining pattern from the tyre tread under the majority of normal storage conditions

Tyre vulcanisation and distribution labels

There are two types of tyre label :

• Tyre vulcanisation labels: these barcode labels provide product traceability during manufacture. The application of pressure on the label at the same time as exposure to high temperature (200°C) can damage the printed message.
• Tyre distribution labels: contains identification information for the user (brand, model and dimensions). It must be perfectly legible at the point of sale and be able to resist the various forms of attack during transportation and storage.

Tyre label printing constraints

Tyre labels are subjected to significant duress throughout the various production and logistics stages: vulcanisation, abrasion, rain, cold, long-duration storage, UV light… all constitute forms of attack likely to damage the printed matter. One illegible barcode and the entire logistics chain may be disrupted.

In accordance with the new European standard 1222/2009 on tyre labelling, manufacturers and importers in the European Union must provide the end user with tyre performance data in terms of rolling resistance, wet braking distances and noise emissions.

Tyre labels, frequently pre-printed, require customised technical data for each product: dimensions, symbols, barcodes, etc.

ARMOR ribbons for tyre label printing

Thermal Transfer technology can be used to print both vulcanisation labels and tyre distribution labels.

For tyre distribution labels printed on coated or synthetic paper, ARMOR Wax-Resin inks offer an excellent compromise between resistance and cost. For more aggressive environments, Resin inks offer improved print durability.

For synthetic vulcanisation labels, it is recommended to print using ARMOR Resin inks for optimum levels of resistance to heat and solvents.

Resistant to high-temperature vulcanisation processes

• Print fineness suitable for small characters and barcodes
