Fox-in-a-Box® & Labacus Innovator®: Time-Saving Cable Labeling for US Electrical Contractors
How a single thermal printing system and contractor-focused software can replace multiple labeling tools, accelerate projects and deliver durable, compliant cable, wire and panel labels across US jobs.
For US electrical contractors, every minute counts. From installing miles of cable to labeling panels and equipment, time lost on inefficient labeling can delay projects and cut into profits.
That is why more contractors are choosing the Fox-in-a-Box® thermal printing system paired with Labacus Innovator® software – a powerful combination designed to produce durable, compliant cable and wire labels faster than ever, across many types of work.
-
Step 1
Standardise on one labeling system for heatshrink, cable, tie-on and panel labels across your jobs.
-
Step 2
Use Labacus Innovator® to import data, create sequences and generate barcodes or QR codes in a few clicks.
-
Step 3
Print independently tested labels that resist heat, UV and moisture – with less waste and fewer reprints.
Label more, waste less time
Fox-in-a-Box® and Labacus Innovator® help US contractors move from manual, fragmented labeling to one streamlined, professional workflow.
1. One system
One labeling system for every project
Electrical jobs often require multiple label types – heatshrink tubing for wires, self-laminating labels for cables, tie-on labels for larger bundles and durable panel labels. Traditionally this meant juggling several printers, ribbons and suppliers.
Fox-in-a-Box® covers it all, producing over 200 label variations from one printer, one ribbon and one software package.
Consolidated tools
No more juggling multiple labeling tools or vendors. One Fox-in-a-Box® system supports cable, wire, panel and equipment labels from a single platform.
Flexible materials
Switch between heatshrink tubing, self-laminating labels, tie-on labels and panel labels to suit each part of the project without changing systems.
Quick changeovers
Fast changeover between label types keeps jobs moving. Crews can print exactly what they need for the next task without waiting or reconfiguring several printers.
2. Software workflow
Labacus Innovator®: contractor-focused labeling software
Labacus Innovator® is built for speed, flexibility and accuracy, so US contractors can prepare label data quickly and avoid repetitive work.
-
1
Fast data import
Import data from Excel, CSV or databases – ideal for large-scale cable runs, panel schedules and multi-floor projects where manual entry would slow you down.
-
2
Edit, duplicate & sequence
Edit and duplicate labels easily, and create sequential numbering for big cable runs, trunking and circuit IDs with just a few clicks instead of retyping every ident.
-
3
Barcodes & QR codes
Generate barcodes and QR codes where you need asset tracking, test result references or digital documentation linked back to your job files or CMMS.

Fluke Networks® link-up
Integrate with Fluke Networks® LinkWare™ Live to print test result labels directly, connecting field testing and labeling without re-entering data.
With free lifetime updates, your Labacus Innovator® software stays current without ongoing subscription fees – a predictable, contractor-friendly model.
3. Durability & speed
Save time and ensure long-term label durability
With the Fox-in-a-Box® system, printing is fast – but the results are designed to last. All Silver Fox labels are independently tested so they stay legible in tough conditions found on US electrical projects.
Built for the real world, not just the office
- Labels independently tested for heat, UV, moisture and abrasion resistance.
- Print that stays readable on cable trays, in panels and in outdoor enclosures for years.
- Roll-back calibration that minimises wasted labels and reduces consumable costs.
- Consistent, professional finish that aligns with customer and inspection expectations.
The combination of speed and durability means less time reprinting damaged labels and more time finishing the work that gets you paid.
4. Training & support
