Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HOL-DEX from 3G Electric.
What are the typical applications for HOL-DEX self-adhesive label holders in industrial settings?
HOL-DEX self-adhesive label holders are commonly used to label equipment panels, control cabinets, storage bins, shelving units, and pipe markers in plant environments. The slide-in design allows for easy replacement of paper inserts when labels need updating due to equipment changes or maintenance schedules. The self-adhesive mounting enables quick installation on clean, smooth surfaces without drilling or tools, making them suitable for both new installations and retrofits in maintenance shops and warehouses.
Can HOL-DEX label holder insert sheets be printed on using standard office printers?
Yes, HOL-DEX label holder insert sheets are made of paper with a thickness of 0.012 mm, which is compatible with most standard inkjet or laser printers. They can also be written on manually with pens or markers. The sheets are designed to be cut to size if needed and then slid into the holders. Ensure the printer settings accommodate thin paper to avoid jams. The white surface provides good contrast for printed text or barcodes.
What is the maximum surface temperature or environmental condition for HOL-DEX self-adhesive holders?
HOL-DEX self-adhesive label holders are made of plastic and designed for indoor use on clean, dry surfaces. The adhesive is not rated for high-temperature environments or outdoor exposure. For applications near heat sources, such as industrial burners or hot pipes, the holders may degrade. The brand does not specify a maximum temperature rating; therefore, they are best suited for ambient indoor conditions typical of control rooms, warehouses, and maintenance areas.
How do I remove and replace a label in a HOL-DEX slide-in holder without damaging the holder?
To replace a label in a HOL-DEX slide-in holder, gently slide the old paper insert out from the open end of the holder. If the insert is stuck, use a thin tool like a plastic spudger to lift the edge. Insert the new paper label by sliding it into the holder until it is fully seated. The holder is designed for repeated use, but avoid excessive force to prevent tearing the plastic. The self-adhesive backing remains intact unless the holder is removed from the surface.
Are HOL-DEX label holders available in colors other than white?
Based on the product specifications provided, HOL-DEX label holders and insert sheets are available in white only. The white color offers high contrast for printed or handwritten labels, improving legibility in industrial environments. The brand does not list other color options in the current product range. For color-coded labeling, users may need to use colored paper inserts or apply additional marking methods.
What is the adhesive strength of HOL-DEX self-adhesive holders on metal or plastic surfaces?
HOL-DEX self-adhesive holders use a pressure-sensitive adhesive designed for permanent bonding on clean, smooth surfaces such as metal, plastic, or painted panels. The adhesive is not repositionable and may leave residue upon removal. For best results, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol before application. The brand does not provide specific peel strength values, but the holders are intended for long-term indoor use without frequent removal.
