At cableties-online, we offer a wide range of printed and custom printed cable ties. Our latest guide to custom printed ties explains what they are used for.
What are custom printed cable ties?
Custom printed cable ties are standard ties that have been printed with the exact requirement of the customer. They can be printed with letters or numbers, or a combination of both. They are indispensable in quick and easy product identification, easy to see warnings and sizing information. They can be printed with user instructions or company contact information.
Who uses custom printed cable ties?
Any industry that requires traceability (the healthcare sector when disposing of waste – see below) or that has to provide an audit trail (emergency services when maintaining a chain of evidence), will benefit from custom printed cable ties. Traceability in the food manufacturing industry can be achieved with custom printed ties too.

In addition to our range of pre-printed cable ties which includes phase marking cable ties, utility cable ties, and printed high vibration warning cable ties, we also supply the following custom printed ties:
Custom printed nylon cable ties – all our nylon 6/6 cable ties can be custom printed, as can our releasable/reusable ties, our UV and heat stabilised cable ties, and our metal detectable cable ties. We offer 3 options for printing - 36 upper case characters, number only for a series of sequential 7-digit numbers starting where you want, or a combination of 24 characters plus a 7-digit number. Print will be in black or white depending on the cable tie colour.
Custom printed clinical waste bag cable ties – in 2012, clinical waste was defined as healthcare waste that ‘contains viable microorganisms or their toxins that are known or believed to cause disease’; ‘contains medicine that contains a biologically active pharmaceutical agent’; or ‘is a sharp or body fluid or other biological material contaminated with a dangerous substance’. (The Controlled Waste Regulation 2012). The correct disposal of this kind of waste is subject to strict regulations and is kept in different coloured bags according to type. The waste bags have to be marked to allow complete traceability back to the original source of the waste, for example individual hospitals and specific ward numbers, and our printed clinical waste bag cable ties are ideal for this. Available in a choice of colours and lengths, you can find out more here.
Custom printed easy push fit marker sleeves – these convenient and easy to use marker sleeves can be printed with the month or year of your choice. Suitable for standard cable ties, they are ideal as inspection date tags.
How we print our cable ties
Our printed cable ties are hot foil printed where coloured foil (black or white depending on the colour of the cable tie) is applied to the ties using a combination of heat and pressure. We use this method of printing as the hot foil produces a highly visible print that can be seen and identified easily, and which will not wear away with normal wear and tear.
