New label printer for the industry
Godex GE models now modified only at eXtra4
Birkenfeld, 04.08.2025. Everyone knows industry software, but industry hardware? - It is created when industry experts convince with insider knowledge and obtain specific details from the manufacturer. This has been done for the modified desktop class label printers from Godex. As an ID specialist with a focus on jewellery and watches, Ferdinand Eisele has had standard devices adapted to industry requirements with a different print head. The Birkenfeld-based company now offers the thermal transfer printers exclusively in the GE-330M (300 dpi) and GE-300M (200 dpi) versions under its eXtra4 Labelling Systems brand.
Print head as bottleneck
The transport of the label web determines whether a thermal transfer printer is included in the eXtra4 product range. The print head is the limiting factor here. If its design is correct, web retraction is also successful with the thick, stiff label materials commonly used in the industry. The web feed required to remove the printed copy can be transported back again smoothly after a print job. This ensures that not a single label is lost without being printed, even when single labels are dispensed.
Specification through co-operation
Just a few µm make all the difference when labels come off the web in an uncontrolled manner during transport through the printhead. ‘That's exactly what happened when we tested the Godex GE models,’ recalls Managing Director AleX Schickel. 'The devices were new on the German market, but we couldn't recommend them to our customers'. Thanks to long-standing relationships and trusting cooperation, criticism from Germany does not go unheard by the manufacturer in Taiwan. The technicians at Godex take the feedback with interest and implement it successfully: Exclusively for eXtra4, the standard version of the existing GE series is equipped with a customised print head.
Exclusive industry hardware for labelling
With the eXtra4-GE models 330M and 300M, jewellers, goldsmiths and their colleagues in wholesale and manufacturing now have access to industry hardware that can print labels one at a time with no label loss after each print job. In addition to this key feature, the devices have many other advantages that make them highly recommended for the jewellery and watch sector: ...

Everything from a single source for the industry at eXtra4
Birkenfeld, 05.02.2025. Labels and labelling for jewellery, watches and gemstones form the product range of eXtra4, the brand of Ferdinand Eisele GmbH. The German company, based in Birkenfeld near Pforzheim, specialises in these sectors as an identification expert and offers its services worldwide. Trade visitors can find out about trends and tendencies in labelling at eXtra4 during the international industry get-together ‘Inhorgenta Munich’ from 21 to 24 February 2025 at stand 214 in hall C2.
No matter whether labels for rings, labels with loop or labels for chains, labels for earrings and pins, labels for beads and pearls or labels for watch straps and watches - the manufacturer produces the right label for labelling at goldsmiths, jewellers, wholesalers and manufacturers - also customised with individual logo. Thanks to the close link between label production and electronic technologies for labelling and reading labels, Ferdinand Eisele has in-depth expertise in the fields of hardware and software. Expertise in printers and scanners, as well as labelling software developed in-house, make eXtra4 an industry specialist in identification technology.
Identification via Code
The focus is on coded labelling for marking products and organising processes. One and two-dimensional identification codes are used: both barcodes, such as EAN13, 2/5 Interleaved or Code 128, as well as matrix codes, such as QR code or data matrix. The type of code that can be used depends on various influencing factors. The required code ultimately determines the dimensions of the label. At eXtra4, detailed advice on the most suitable code for the individual application and the ideal labelling system is the basis for every labelling project, regardless of whether it is large or small.
Industry software for labelling
Labelling systems for jewellery and watches have been part of the eXtra4 product range for over 20 years, and a special solution for the management of gemstones for almost 10 years. Based on this in-house software, eXtra4 offers easy-to-use systems for labelling - including and especially with coding. The programmes include label printing at their core. Users can customise the software with additional editions.
