Expert knowledge of label materials and their operating characteristics were key factors in winning a contract to supply lifetime labels for air conditioning units.

Expert knowledge of label materials and their operating characteristics were key when GSM Printer and Label Systems won a contract to supply labels for air conditioning units.

GSM Printer and Label Systems supplies a multitude of different sized labels to Lennox Industries Ltd in Northampton who manufacture air conditioning units.

The labels are primarily in two types, both of which need to remain on the air conditioner for its lifetime and to withstand exposure to heat and UV light and, in some cases, weather.

Both types are a specialist material, with one white version and one yellow "safety warning" variant.

The labels are used for product identification for the industrial air conditioning units which are installed in offices and shopping malls.

Lennox Industries buyer David Wynne said: "GSM Printer and Label Systems were able to offer a product to meet our specifications that could do the job at a good price and, as a bonus, were close enough to us to be able to provide an excellent back-up service, checking our stock for example." GSM Printer and Label Systems General Manager Martin Cameron said: "Our expert knowledge of label materials and their operating characteristics were invaluable in ascertaining the most effective solution for Lennox Industries." GSM Printer and Label Systems specialises in providing label printing, bar coding and data capture solutions to a wide range of industries.

The GSM Group is one of Europe's largest manufacturers of printed labels and nameplates in metal and plastics and has manufacturing sites in Wales, Oxford and Yorkshire.
