Visit Silver Fox® at DPRTE 2026

At Stand M19, our team will be demonstrating the Fox-in-a-Box® thermal printing system, the all-in-one labelling solution trusted by engineers across the defence sector. With one software, one printer, and one ribbon, the system produces over 200 types of cable and equipment labels, including tie-on cable labels, wrap-around markers, heatshrink tubing, asset tags, and patch panel labels.

We will be running live printing demonstrations throughout both days, so you can see first-hand how quickly and consistently the system produces durable, legible labels. Our Labacus Innovator® software will also be available to explore, including features for importing wire schedules from spreadsheets, creating barcodes and QR codes, and designing custom label layouts.

Silver Fox® has been designing and manufacturing labelling solutions in the UK since 1979. Over that time, our labels have been used extensively across the defence sector, from the construction and maintenance of military bases worldwide to the manufacture of equipment and machinery for defence applications.

We understand that defence environments demand labels that stay readable, stay attached, and stay consistent across long asset lifecycles. That is why our solutions are built around durability, traceability, and speed of deployment. Whether your team is labelling power and control cables on a new build, marking assets for long-term tracking, or identifying wiring harnesses in aerospace applications, the Fox-in-a-Box® system handles it from one workstation.

Confidentiality is central to how we work with defence customers. We do not disclose contractor, OEM, or government end-user details. What we can share is that our labelling solutions are proven across diverse defence applications, and our team is ready to help you find the right label format, material, and print method for your specific requirements.

Silver Fox® is a member of Make UK Defence, the national not-for-profit defence trade association that champions and supports the UK's diverse defence manufacturers and the wider defence supply chain. As part of Make UK, the manufacturers' organisation, Make UK Defence works to build an innovative, internationally competitive UK defence supply chain.

Our membership reflects our long-standing commitment to UK defence manufacturing. Everything we sell is designed, developed, and manufactured in-house at our facility in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. That means short lead times, direct access to our engineering and support teams, and the quality assurance that comes from controlling every stage of production.

Exhibiting on the Make UK Defence Pavilion at DPRTE places us alongside fellow UK defence manufacturers and gives visitors a focused space to explore domestic supply chain solutions. We are looking forward to connecting with procurement teams, prime contractors, and fellow SMEs working across the defence sector.

DPRTE is free to attend for eligible delegates. Registration is available through the official DPRTE website. Whether you are able to visit on one day or both, our team will be on the stand throughout the event and happy to discuss your labelling requirements, run a live demonstration, or simply have a conversation about the challenges you are facing on current projects.
