Grafoplast TRASP manual system

Since 1963, the Grafoplast TRASP system has revolutionised electrical identification with a deceptively simple concept: use the same marking elements across every application. Whether you’re marking individual wires, complete cable bundles, terminal blocks, or panel equipment, TRASP provides one consistent approach that eliminates confusion and reduces inventory complexity.

The system centres on pre-marked elements (letters, numbers, and symbols printed on durable materials) that you select with a specialised applicator tool and insert into various carriers depending on your application. This modularity means electricians and panel builders can master one technique and apply it universally, reducing training time and installation errors.

What distinguishes TRASP from other solutions using wrap or heat-shrink methods is its unique dual-recess design. Each carrier features two chambers: one securely holds the marking elements in perfect alignment, while the other accommodates the wire or cable. This architecture allows you to modify identification without disconnecting anything – simply open the carrier, swap elements, and close it again. For maintenance scenarios where circuits change frequently, this capability alone saves substantial labour hours.

Accessories and Tools

Precision applicators that enable rapid element selection from storage strips, removal hooks for modifying existing markings without damaging sleeves, and organised strip trays that keep your most frequently used characters immediately accessible. Our accessories and tools transform what could be a tedious sorting process into a swift, efficient workflow.

Marking Elements

The foundation of the TRASP system: pre-printed characters, numbers, and symbols manufactured to exacting standards and available in multiple colour combinations, ensuring consistent legibility and professional appearance across every installation whilst eliminating the variables introduced by field printing or hand-labelling.

Marking Kits

Curated selections of elements, sleeves, and tools packaged for specific applications – from compact kits for technicians beginning with the TRASP system to comprehensive box kits designed for large-scale panel building projects where you need immediate access to the full character set and multiple sleeve sizes.

The Grafoplast TRASP manual system includes everything needed for professional installations: organised storage trays that hold marking strips, precision applicators that ensure clean element selection, removal hooks for quick adjustments, and an extensive range of carriers designed for specific scenarios. From compact sleeves for single conductors to larger assemblies for grouped cables, from snap-on retrofits to permanent installations, TRASP adapts to your requirements rather than forcing you to adapt to the marking system.

Electrical contractors consistently report 40-60% faster installation compared to traditional labelling methods, primarily because TRASP eliminates the measuring, cutting, and printing steps required by other approaches. You’re working with pre-manufactured, quality-controlled components that install quickly and maintain legibility throughout the equipment’s service life.
