Sample Request Checklist
Use this checklist before asking for cable and wire label material samples. A complete request helps Guanma select facestock, adhesive, release liner, coating, and roll format with fewer trial rounds.
Request details to prepare
Example: PVC, PE, PP, rubber, oily surface, or unknown sample cable.
State wrap-around labels, self-laminating labels, flag labels, or flat labels.
PET adhesive film, BOPP adhesive film, synthetic paper, or coated paper.
Acrylic adhesive, water-based adhesive, hot-melt adhesive, oil resistance, high temperature resistance, or outdoor weatherability.
Thermal transfer printing, flexographic printing, UV printing, digital inkjet printing, or screen printing.
Include Glassine paper, CCK paper, parent width, slit width, and core size if known.
Share heat, cold, oil, abrasion, humidity, UV, and edge-lift checks.
Include annual usage, trial quantity, and expected delivery region.
Before sending the request
In mixed cable programs, the fastest review usually comes from separating the request into jacket family, print method, adhesive requirement, and exposure test, because one artwork file may need different material stacks when it is applied to PVC control wiring, oily machine-side cables, and outdoor power routes.
- Attach a cable sample photo only after the jacket material has been named.
- State whether the label is applied by hand, dispenser, or converter process.
- Include the required roll width because slitting affects production planning.
- Share the target market if Thailand, Vietnam, Europe, or South America support matters.
- Use exact exposure words such as oil resistance, outdoor weatherability, or high temperature resistance.
- Choose PET adhesive film when durability is more important than minimum cost.
- Consider BOPP adhesive film when flexibility and economics need balance.
- Ask for synthetic paper if handling resistance matters more than film clarity.
- Check liner release if the label will run through automatic equipment.
- Finish the RFQ by naming sample quantity and expected repeat demand.
- Keep one failed label sample because the curl pattern, adhesive residue, and print damage often tell the material team more than a short complaint line.
- Photograph the bend.
- Record whether the cable was cleaned before application, since a strong adhesive cannot solve every surface preparation issue.
- Separate trial feedback by cable type when the same artwork is used on several jacket materials.
- Test early.
