UK-based labelling solutions manufacturer Silver Fox

has a history and experience of working on major

projects. This is backed up by its continued investment

in Research and Development ensuring that the

company’s solutions are not only time saving but also

durable and reliable. This is demonstrated by its

reputation for pursuing outside independent testing for all

its materials and products in line with recognised

standards and beyond.

The key markets for Silver Fox are:

Oil and Gas, Power, Transportation (airports and rail

networks) Data and Telecom. Within those sectors its

expertise is focused on cable labelling solutions for

electrical, instrumentation and data. Additionally, for

process engineering Silver Fox provides its highly

durable process pipe and valve marking systems.

Apart from the durability of its labels, service and support

is central to the whole ethos of the business. This is

demonstrated by its pro-active approach to working with

and advising customers on the most suitable and time

effective solutions. The time saving benefits of working

with the Silver Fox solution is evident at all levels.

Attention to Detail

It is often the small things that might go unnoticed that

can make a big difference on projects. They can

smooth the path for a fully integrated and seamless

trouble free solution.

Silver Fox has invested heavily both in time and

resources so its customers and partners don’t need to.

Example:

Both thermal and laser printable labels are

available. Both styles are fully tested.

The laser labels require only a desktop laser printer

- no special equipment.

The thermal labels - new Fox-Flo® tie-on cable

labels, heat shrink and non-shrink (for concurrent

projects), cable and wire markers, 2-part wire

markers, wrap round self-laminating labels and bar

code asset labels.

Key Benefit for Thermal Labels:

‘Same Ribbon, Same Printer, Same Software’

Additionally Silver Fox has written its own printer

driver (included in their software) - so there’s no

time wasting or label wastage either, when setting-

up or changing between label types.

For simplicity the same software also drives all the

laser labels that can be printed through any

standard office laser printer.

There are many discrete benefits to the Silver Fox

solution - all designed to make the life of the

engineers on the project simple, easy and free from

frustration, allowing them to focus on other more

critical areas.
