Comelit 1218 Name Tag Sheets for Ikall Entrance Panel
The Comelit 1218 is a replacement label kit engineered for Ikall modular entrance panel systems. These adhesive name tag sheets supply tenant directories, unit identifiers, and information placards across residential and commercial entry environments. Deploy them when original labels wear, fade, or require updates due to tenant turnover — the drop-in format eliminates panel disassembly and minimizes installation downtime.
Key Features
- Drop-in Replacement Design: Adhesive-backed sheets fit directly into Ikall panel slots without panel modification or removal. Tenant directory updates take minutes instead of hours.
- Multi-Format Sheet Assortment: Kit includes single nameplate sheets, double nameplate sheets, and information module sheets. Covers the full range of Ikall panel configurations.
- Durable Adhesive Backing: Labels remain secure in indoor entry environments (lobbies, corridors, stairwells) over multiple tenant cycles without lifting or curling.
- Comelit Ikall Ecosystem Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with all Comelit Ikall modular entrance panel hardware. No vendor lock-in or adapter requirements.
- Minimal Consumable Cost: Replacement label sheets reduce total cost of ownership compared to full panel replacement when only identification updates are needed.
- Indoor Rated: Suitable for protected entry environments (residential lobbies, commercial building directories). Not rated for outdoor exposed weather conditions.
The Ikall system architecture relies on user-configurable identification to scale across multi-unit residential buildings and commercial entry points. The 1218 label kit maintains that flexibility — property managers can print custom tenant names, unit numbers, or department designations on the adhesive sheets and deploy them without technician involvement. For properties managing frequent tenant turnover (apartments, office suites, co-working spaces), bulk label kits reduce per-update friction and labor cost.
Standard adhesive label stock performs reliably in climate-controlled indoor spaces. If labels are exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity, or temperature cycling near building entrances, verify adhesion durability on a test sheet before bulk deployment. The kit includes sufficient sheets to update single and double nameplate configurations across mid-sized properties in a single order cycle.
Comelit Ikall entrance panels support both audio intercom and video doorphone workflows — the 1218 label sheets identify which unit or tenant corresponds to each button press on the calling side. Clear, legible identification reduces misdialed calls and improves resident response times. Pair label updates with periodic panel cleaning (dry cloth, non-abrasive) to maintain image quality and user experience.
The product is manufactured in Italy and carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering adhesive failure and material defects. For integrators specifying Ikall systems across portfolio properties, maintaining a stock of 1218 label kits on hand simplifies tenant move-out/move-in cycles and eliminates supply-chain delays when directory updates are needed mid-project.

We've deployed Comelit Ikall entrance systems across a range of residential and commercial properties — from 8-unit garden apartments to 40+ unit midrise buildings and office towers with tenant suites. The modular nameplate architecture is one of Ikall's core strengths: it lets property managers update identification on the fly without technician rolls. The 1218 label kit is a consumable we've found essential to keep in stock. Here's why: tenant turnover happens on schedules that don't align with scheduled maintenance windows. A superintendent or property manager can print new tenant names, peel off old labels, stick new ones in place, and close a unit number within minutes. On a 24-unit property cycling tenants every 3–5 years, that's real operational savings. We've also seen label kits deployed preemptively — printed and staged before move-in day to ensure the directory is accurate from day one, which improves first-call completion rates on the intercom side.
Technical Highlights:
- Adhesive Durability in Indoor Climates: The label stock is rated for protected indoor spaces (lobbies, hallways, stairwells) where temperature swings are minimal and moisture is controlled. In our experience, labels remain secure for 3–5 years under normal indoor conditions without lifting. However, we've seen occasional adhesive creep in high-humidity lobbies (swimming pool facilities, coastal areas with salt air) — test samples first before committing a large label order to a high-moisture property.
- Sheet Format Flexibility: The kit includes single, double, and information module sheets. On a typical deployment, you'll use single sheets for most units, double sheets for shared entries (mailrooms, elevators, mechanical rooms), and information sheets for building rules, emergency contacts, or service numbers. This mix saves integrators from ordering multiple SKUs.
- Compatibility Scope: These labels are engineered for Comelit Ikall systems only. They won't fit third-party entrance panels or legacy Comelit models (such as older Simplebus systems). Verify the customer's existing panel model before quoting.
- Printing and Customization: The adhesive sheets accept standard inkjet or laser printing. We've had best results with high-quality matte label stock and 600+ DPI printing to ensure text legibility and color registration. Print a test run before final production to dial in alignment with your labeling template.
- No Active Power or Network Requirement: Name tag sheets are purely passive — they have no electronics, no network connectivity, and no battery. They're a pure consumable with zero maintenance overhead.
Deployment Considerations:
- Indoor-only rated — do not specify for outdoor entry vestibules or building facades exposed to rain, UV, or temperature cycling. Adhesive performance degrades rapidly in outdoor environments.
- Adhesive stock is permanent. Once applied, labels are difficult to remove without damaging the underlying panel surface. Integrators should recommend customer approval of tenant names and unit numbers before printing and installation.
- Sheet quantity in the kit supports mid-sized properties (up to ~40 unit identifiers if single and double sheets are mixed efficiently). For large multifamily or office complexes with 100+ units, budget multiple kits or coordinate bulk orders directly with Comelit.
- Labeling workflow: print custom labels → cut/separate → peel backing → apply to panel slots. Plan 10–15 minutes per 10-unit update cycle. Training property management staff on proper application technique (smooth, bubble-free press) prevents rework.
- Store unused label sheets in a cool, dry location. Adhesive performance can degrade if sheets are exposed to heat or direct sunlight during storage. Recommend a sealed envelope or drawer away from HVAC vents.
The 1218 label kit is the right choice for integrators specifying new Ikall systems or for property managers performing maintenance on existing installations. It's a low-cost, high-frequency consumable that scales operational efficiency — every tenant move-in or update that doesn't require a technician visit saves time and money.
