Custom Cable Overlay Protectors

Durable printed overlays that protect cable identification labels from abrasion, grime and UV damage across the full hire and touring lifecycle.

A printed self-adhesive panel sealed under clear PVC — the same reverse-print construction we use for flight case labels, applied to cable and loom identification. The print cannot be scratched, rubbed or abraded away.

WHY OVERLAY PROTECTORS

Print That Lasts the Full Tour

Standard printed labels on cables fail quickly in touring environments. Abrasion from cable ties, flight case foam and steel floor surfaces removes the print layer within a few shows. Moisture from rain, sweat and condensation lifts edges and causes delamination.

Cable overlay protectors use the same reverse-print construction as our flight case labels. The print is sandwiched between the face stock and a clear PVC overlay — the clear layer takes all the physical punishment while the print layer remains pristine underneath. Colours stay vivid after hundreds of shows.
