Overview
Tire curing labels are identification labels applied to the green tire before vulcanization. Unlike ordinary labels, they go into the curing press with the tire, withstand the full curing cycle, and remain permanently bonded afterward.
GAOFE tire curing labels are rated for 260°C and are designed to be vulcanized together with the tire. The label becomes part of the tire and carries its barcode or QR code through the tire's entire service life.

What Are Tire Curing Labels?
Tire curing labels, also known as tire vulcanization labels or tire barcode labels, are made for one of the harshest steps in tire manufacturing. In the curing press, the green tire is shaped under high heat and pressure into its final structure. Standard adhesive labels cannot survive this environment. They curl, discolor, lose adhesion, or become unreadable.
Tire curing labels are built with a face material and adhesive engineered for this process. Because the label cures together with the tire, it does not sit on the surface waiting to peel off. It becomes integrated with the rubber, so the identification information remains in place for the life of the tire.
Why Cure the Label With the Tire?
Many identification methods are applied after curing. They are exposed to abrasion, moisture, and handling, and can be removed or damaged. A label vulcanized together with the tire offers several advantages:
Permanent identification. The label does not depend on surface adhesion alone. It bonds with the rubber during curing.
Lifetime traceability. The code can be scanned during inspection, warehousing, distribution, and service.
Early tracking. The tire is identified from the moment it is built, so records can be linked from the very start of production.
Reliable data link. The barcode ties the physical tire to its manufacturing, inspection, and batch data.
Key Features
260°C high-temperature resistance. The label is designed to withstand tire vulcanization conditions with a 260°C rating, giving a safety margin over typical curing processes.
Strong bonding to rubber. A rubber-specific adhesive system keeps the label in position during curing and helps it integrate with the tire surface afterward.
Barcode and QR code compatibility. Print 1D barcodes, 2D barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, manufacturing codes, and product identification numbers, with the contrast needed for reliable scanning.
Resistance to industrial conditions. The construction can be customized to handle heat, pressure, moisture, and contact with rubber compounds.
Fully customizable. We can adjust label size, shape, material, adhesive, and printing specifications to suit your tire type, application position, and equipment.
How Tire Curing Labels Work
Print. A serial number, barcode, or QR code is printed onto the label.
Apply. The label is placed on the specified area of the green tire.
Cure. The tire and label go through the curing press together, under heat and pressure.
Scan. After curing, the code is scanned to identify the tire.
Trace. The code is linked to production, inspection, and batch records.
This creates a continuous traceability chain from tire building to the finished product and beyond.
Applications
Tire manufacturing: track serial numbers, production batches, manufacturing dates, production lines, and mold information.
Quality control: retrieve inspection and quality data for a specific tire in seconds.
Inventory and logistics: assign a unique code to each tire through storage and distribution.
Digital traceability systems: use the label as the physical link between a tire and its digital record.
How to Choose the Right Tire Curing Label
Different processes call for different constructions. When selecting a label, consider:
Curing temperature and time: confirm your process fits within the label's rating.
Curing pressure: the construction must remain stable under pressure.
Rubber surface: surface type and condition affect adhesion.
Printer and ribbon: the label must be compatible with your barcode printing setup.
Barcode requirements: code type, size, and contrast affect scan reliability.
Label size and position: customized to your tire and application area.
