Horticultural tag printers are specialized devices designed to produce durable, weather-resistant labels and tags for plants, trees, shrubs, and garden products. These printers are essential for nurseries, garden centers, botanical gardens, and commercial growers who need reliable identification and branding in outdoor environments.
Key Features of Horticultural Tag Printers
- Thermal Transfer Printing
Uses heat and ribbon to create long-lasting, UV-resistant prints on plastic or synthetic tags.
- High Resolution (300-600 dpi)
Ensures crisp text, barcodes, and graphics for clear plant identification.
- Media Versatility
Supports various tag types: stick-in tags, slip-on loop tags, pot stakes, and adhesive labels made from PVC, polyester, or polypropylene.
- Weatherproof Output
Resistant to sunlight, rain, humidity, and temperature fluctuations--ideal for outdoor use.
- Custom Label Design Software
Includes tools for adding plant names, care instructions, barcodes, logos, and branding elements.
- Roll or Sheet Feeding Options
Roll-fed printers allow continuous printing with minimal waste; sheet-fed options offer full-color printing for POS labels.
