Weatherproof Label Makers & Industrial Printers

Labels produced by industrial label makers like the LabelTac Pro X and LabelTac 9 can be waterproof when paired with the appropriate weatherproof or vinyl label supplies. Standard paper supplies are not waterproof, so selecting the right media — such as polyester or vinyl — is essential for moisture-resistant applications.

The most reliable way to produce waterproof labels is to use a thermal transfer printer combined with weatherproof vinyl or polyester label stock and a resin or wax-resin ribbon. LabelTac printers support compatible weatherproof supplies that produce labels resistant to water, UV exposure, and harsh industrial conditions without the need for lamination.

DYMO offers certain laminated and industrial label tapes marketed as water-resistant for their LabelWriter and DYMO Industrial label makers. However, for true heavy-duty waterproof performance in industrial settings — such as pipe marking or outdoor signage — Shield and Supply's LabelTac printers with dedicated weatherproof vinyl supplies deliver superior durability and print quality.

The LabelTac Pro X printer supports supply widths from 1/2" to 4", making it versatile for standard industrial labels. The LabelTac 9 supports wider formats from 4" to 9", enabling large-format signs and banners. Both printers work with Shield and Supply's full range of compatible label supplies.
