Heat shrink labels are pre-printed directly on the heat shrink and are therefore more flexible by providing a 360-degree coverage, if desired. Traditional labels can be just as eye-catching as heat shrink labels, but they can only be applied if there is room to maneuver your hands around the wiring.
