About us
At CILS, we make durable industrial and laboratory labels for many applications, from industrial pipes and medical devices through to marine equipment and high-performance vehicles.
We offer blank and completely branded, ready-to-use labels – plus hybrid options where we part-print the labels, leaving you to add your own data via a standard desktop laser or thermal printer.
Our service – how we help
Choosing the right label is not a straightforward task. It requires an understanding of how a set of materials and adhesives combine with a chosen surface and how that label performs when exposed to the conditions in a target working environment.
Instead of making a guess at what will be right for your identification needs, ask our experts. We save you time, money and effort by helping you choose durable labels that last the lifetime of your assets.
Whether you are a production engineer, a product designer or a lab manager, we can help you specify labels that save you time, money and effort while keeping your operation compliant and your reputation protected.
Our promise – how we stand apart:
-
We will give you simple options – we will not confuse you with huge catalogues.
-
We will always consult you – we will not force label options on you.
-
We will deliver quickly – we will not keep you waiting for your labels.
We serve some of the biggest companies and organisations, such as ABB, Boeing and Bayer.
But we are not just about serving the mega corporations. Every day, our team helps small and medium-sized businesses and labs to choose best-in-class durable labels for a huge range of applications.
