Can anyone tell me the difference between SF terminals and Hawid terminals?

WGN  (Werner or Wendy? )
Would it relate to the brand?
Hawid is a brand, Davo is also a brand of clamp strips, as is Safe. Maybe SF = SaFe?
Otherwise you should put an image in a post, that would clarify a lot.

SF is from Leuchtturm, a German company. The difference is that Hawid is also German.

I went to have a look at Leuchtturm clamp strips on the internet. SF probably stands for a kind of 'system'. Or an abbreviation of a type. But I can't figure out which one is correct.
Maybe the S from German for adhesive, and F for German from adhesive? Or from StreiFen?
Mein Deutsch ist unter dem Pfaff-Niveau :)
A German-speaking fellow user on LD might know?

There are many types of terminal strips: glossy or matt, to be moistened (gummed) or self-adhesive, black or translucent, only welded at the bottom (toe) and open at the top, welded at the top and bottom and at the back (halfway) open, welded at the top and bottom and not open from the back (usually for larger stamps, sheets or blocks), ...
Personally I prefer the kind that is only welded at the bottom, and matt. It's a matter of personal taste and preference.
Sometimes you can buy them 'in bulk' by the kilogram. That is not always as beneficial as it seems. You sometimes end up with a lot of 'too small' clamp strips. Or there are clumsy ones in between. You can also get an 'assortment' that consists of different types (matte, glossy, thin, thick). It is best not to use them together.
I have also learned from experience that it is best not to wet the 'black' clamp strips completely when pasting. A little less than half is more than enough, so that (especially with pre-printed albums) you can peep under it again to the pre-printed example of the stamp that should be in that place (or other specifications such as type, color, face value ... ). You also create a suitable spot (with pencil) to add a note yourself (a catalog number, for example) that is not directly visible.

I would bet on Schutzfolie or Schutzfilm.

The quality will not differ much, there may be small differences visible, which may be a reason not to use them together. But the most likely factor for a particular choice is brand loyalty.

And the pre-print albums of Leuchtturm also have 'SF' in their name:





They are 'rotary pen albums'. For the non-luxury versions (without factory-fitted clamping strips), the SF clamping strips are sold separately.
SF must therefore be an indication of the collection system. Schrauben Fest?

Dear Raoul.
I think SF stands for Selbstklebende Folie
So in Dutch Adhesive Folie.

So there is no difference. Only the additional specifications (black or transparent, matt or glossy, ...) make clamping strips different.
Perhaps the height of the SF strips is more attuned to the compartments in the SF albums for which they can be used. Height does not really play a role with a solid cutting device for clamp strips. You cut it completely to size per stamp (box).

Safe clamping strips may be different, because the clear protective layer is designed in such a way that it consists of two pieces, which are both on the top and bottom respectively. bottom side are sealed to the background foil. Those two pieces then adjoin each other somewhere in the middle.
The consequence is that you cannot make every height by means of. cut off a piece. After all, then you would cut off a seal and with that half of the protective film. Then the SF strips would really only be used in SF albums.

the only drawback is that you can still clamp your stamps between all the differences in names. which in itself is an advantage.

Wow, what a lot of information. Thank you for your efforts.
My name is Willemijn by the way and I recently took over the stamps from my father.
I came across many different black clamp strips on the internet.
My father always used Hawid -strips but that company is going to stop so I would like clamp strips that match the other Hawid strips (in terms of gloss) I have now found out that that is Davo-Mela.

WGN 
Great that you've decided which one you want to use, Willemijn.

Would you like to add your name and country to your profile? Click on your 'avatar' at the top right and choose 'Settings'. If your name is entered there is less risk that I will address you as 'Wendy' :)

And if you really can't find a stamp: adding is not that difficult. Making a nice scan (for stamps preferably on a black background to show the tooth well) is the most important.
And go over the fields for what you know about the item. Just watch and judge.
Eg. if it is a serrated seal, and you don't know which perforation, you can already select 'toothed'. Always better than leaving it blank. A 'connoisseur' can always add the exact perforation afterwards.

There is a 'Handbook stamps', especially for LD (LastDodo), with the most facts and tricks. vwb adding and modifying stamp items. First click somewhere on 'Add item to catalog' in the stamp section and you will see a link to that handbook at the top.

You know: Friday, in the morning, you regularly get an 'error' when adding at least). Then just keep clicking on the 'add' button at the bottom until it succeeds. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after 5 times. At other times I don't have that phenomenon. There may be maintenance processes running on the database on Friday morning that can occasionally cause a malfunction.

No, there are no maintenance processes on Friday afternoon. Probably external factors that cause any crowds.
