Self-Tie Labels: A Cost Effective Solution for Durable Plant Identification

One of Bluepoint's Self-Tie labels

Self-tie labels are fixed in place without the need for adhesives, clips or string, making them a cost-effective and efficient labelling solution. We can supply these plain, coloured or pre-printed, available on either rolls (for thermal transfer printers) or sheets (for laser printers).

Self-tie labels are a great way to help identify trees, shrubs and plants – and they come in range of label and loop sizes, suitable for simple plant identification purposes through to larger, point of sale applications.

For growers using thermal transfer printers, we supply our labels as standard in 200 micron PolyTech, and in 250 micron for premium use. And for those using laser printers, we recommend our 150 micron premium PrinPlas, striking the perfect balance between strength and economy.

Stick-In Labels: High-Quality Plant Labels for Outdoor Use

One of our stick-in labels, many shapes and sizes available!

Also known as “plant pot pointers”, our stick in plant labels are widely used in the horticulture industry to identify plants around a nursery or for transportation purposes. As the name suggests, all you need to do is stick them into your soil or substrate – simple as that!

Our stick-ins are available in a variety of sizes from 100x19mm up to 40x160mm and come on both rolls for thermal transfer printing (using 300 micron PVC) and in sheet form for laser printers (275 micron PrinPlas).

Self-Adhesive Labels: Durable and Waterproof

Self-Adhesive labels available in a variety of shapes & sizes

Available for both laser and thermal printers, our fully waterproof self-adhesive labels offer a high-performance option for professional plant-growers and can be used for a variety of situations.

Coming either on rolls (gloss and matte options) or in sheet form in rigorously tested durable materials, Bluepoint produce a range of standard shapes and sizes for our horticulture partners, from simple pricing labels to full A4 point of sale labels as well providing a fully bespoke option if required.

Bed Cards: Create Striking POS & Information Cards

Bed Cards feature your own designs and are ideal for POS

Bed cards are ideal for product groupings, product tables and for visual merchandising applications at nurseries and garden centres. And with Bluepoint’s laser and inkjet printable bed cards, you can produce your own full colour point of sale and plant information cards whenever you need them.

UV and water resistant, our bed cards offer a durable solution for both indoor and outdoor use, and by using long lasting inks and toners from brand such as Epson and OKI, you can print your own full colour POS bed cards to generate interest and promote offers, in a range of sizes including A5, A4 and 8”x6”.
