TIRE BEAD LABELS

Strategic solutions for identifying and tracking tires.

Advance your tire tracking process with dependable vulcanized tire labels that are trusted by manufacturers in more than 40 countries, with over 400 million in use every year. Whatever your organization’s preferred manufacturing processes, Computype has versatile tracking solutions to match. Our tire bead labels can be fully leveraged partially pre-printed or fully printed-on-demand, and are tough enough to withstand vulcanization and abrasion.

Tire barcode labels and solutions.

  • Heat and abrasion resistant – the barcode label remains adhered and scannable through even the harshest of vulcanization processes
  • Keeps production running – label materials and adhesives are engineered and tested to run flawlessly through application systems and downstream automated processes
  • Uniquely identified – our quality systems thoroughly check all pre-printed labels before shipping, to ensure no duplicates
  • Boost WIP tracking – applying tire barcodes pre-cure helps maintain a better audit trail and minimize tire rework

High heat, durable labeling solutions to survive vulcanization

Whether you’re referring to basic bead labels or vulcanized tire labels, tire barcodes all have the same goal – to assist in manufacturing. The alphanumeric value associated with each tire barcode is loaded into a database that stores detailed information about that tire. During manufacturing this information is located by the barcode and used to help guide each tire towards different manufacturing processes and maintain a detailed record of their journey.

Specially engineered tire barcodes put to the test

Tire manufacturing takes time, diligence, precision, and accuracy. Our world-class barcode labels are made from materials that will ensure they will withstand the high heat and pressure during vulcanization as well as all post cure processes.

Additional solutions for tire bead labels.

In addition to our bead labels for new automotive tires, we offer a range of customizable options to meet your specific needs, including specialized solutions for retread tires and bicycle tires. For more solutions and customizations including tread labels, please reach out to discuss your needs.

Retread tire bead labels

For retread plants, our newest label is engineered to adhere reliably to dirty rubber, ensuring long-lasting adhesion and superior resistance to abrasion and removal. Opting for a more durable labeling option enhances traceability, crucial as temporary labels risk losing data throughout multiple retreading processes.

Bicycle tire bead labels

Our bicycle tire bead labels offer unmatched reliability, adhering permanently to vulcanized rubber surfaces. Available blank or pre-printed, these labels maintain the same exceptional quality as our automotive tire labels, ensuring uncompromised performance and traceability throughout the manufacturing process
