The light-on-dark prints look just as opaque as heat transfer labels while having all the advantages of pad printing tags: softness, decreased costs, durability, and sustainability.

This labeling machine for clothes consists of the specially designed Brite pad printer and the patented Brite print pad – engineered by and available exclusively from Inkcups. The available Brite colors include white, yellow and pink.
