Industrial and textile labels made in Cairo

Etalex prints industrial and textile labels in Cairo, where the company has manufactured labels since 1952. Industrial goods such as televisions, home commodities and machinery need labels with specific adhesives and designs. Our textile labels are made to be washed regularly: they are printed with a heat-curable ink, then cured in an industrial oven at 125°C for about two hours.

Both kinds of label are made under one roof, from design and pre-press to printing and finishing. See all our label printing services in Egypt.

Industrial labels

Over the years, Etalex added import and export goods to its wide range of label products. Goods such as televisions, home commodities and machinery all need their own kind of label, with a specific type of adhesive and a design that suits the product.

What labels suit industrial equipment?

An industrial label is specified around the product it goes on. We choose the adhesive for the surface of the product and design the label for where it sits and what it must show. Most industrial work is printed as self-adhesive labels, which are named in our certified scope.

What to tell us about an industrial label:

The product and the surface the label goes on
Where the label sits and how long it must stay there
What it must show: brand, product data, instructions or codes
The label size, quantity and number of versions

Textile labels

What do textile labels need to withstand?

Textile labels are designed to be washed regularly, so the print has to survive heat and water again and again. Choosing a high-quality label material is the first step. We then print with a special heat-curable ink that increases the label’s heat and water resistance.

How textile labels are cured

After printing, the finished labels are cured in an industrial oven at 125°C for around two hours. Every finished textile label needs this curing step before it is ready to use.

Barcodes and durability

Many industrial and textile labels carry a barcode or QR code that has to scan for as long as the label is in use. If yours does, send the code in your artwork and tell us:

The code type (for example EAN-13, Code 128 or QR)

The size the code must print at

Whether each label carries the same code or a different one

Where and how the code will be scanned

The right printing process depends on the run length, the artwork detail and the finish. We run letterpress (flat and rotary), rotary offset, flexography, silk screen and digital printing in-house; compare them on our label printing technologies page.

Quality and certificates

Our factory’s management systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018, with GMP and HACCP certificates, all issued by ABS Global and valid until 16 May 2027. The certified scope covers the “design, pre-press, manufacture, printing, conversion, finishing, and supply of self-adhesive labels and specialty label solutions using flexographic, offset, screen, and digital printing processes.” Open each certificate on our Etalex certificates page.

Industrial and textile labels: frequently asked questions

What labels suit industrial goods and equipment?

Goods such as televisions, home commodities and machinery each need their own kind of label, with a specific type of adhesive and a design that suits the product. Tell us what the label goes on, where it sits and what it must show, and our team will recommend the adhesive and construction.

How are your textile labels made to survive washing?

Our textile labels are designed to be washed regularly. We print them with a special heat-curable ink that increases heat and water resistance, then cure the finished labels in an industrial oven at 125°C for around two hours. Tell us the fabric and how the garment is washed when you ask for a quote.

Can you print barcodes on industrial labels?

Send the barcode or QR code in your artwork with its type, size and where it will be scanned, and tell us whether every label carries the same code. Our team will match the printing process to the code and the run length, and confirm what is possible before printing begins.

What do you need from me to quote industrial or textile labels?

Send the label size, the quantity and number of versions, and what the label goes on: the product surface for industrial labels, or the fabric and wash conditions for textile labels. You can do this through our quote form and attach artwork or a specification if you have one ready.
