About Your New Labelmaker
With your new
PANDUIT
MEHT labelmaker,
you can create a wide variety of aluminum and
stainless steel labels. The labelmaker uses
1/2" (12 mm) label tape. Aluminum and
stainless steel tapes are available as follows:
•META-X: 1/2" x 16 ft. (12.6mm x 4.9m)
aluminum tape
•METS4-X: 1/2" x 21 ft. (12.6mm x 6.4m)
304 grade stainless steel tape
•METS3-X: 1/2" x 21 ft. (12.6mm x 6.4m)
316 grade stainless steel tape
You can also use a Reverse Image Wheel with
the
PANDUIT
MEHT labelmaker. This wheel
allows you to print mirror script labels that
meet special requirements in the industry.
Mirror labels are used on moulds or casts for
metal or rubber injection, silicon casting, fiber
glass applications, and so on.
Visit www.panduit.com for information on
obtaining tapes and accessories for your label-
maker.
