Labels
Industrial Labels for Identification, Safety, and Organization
Labels are small pieces of paper, plastic, or similar materials that are attached to an object and present information about that object. The backs of labels are usually coated in adhesive so they can stick securely to equipment, wiring, panels, containers, and other surfaces in industrial and electrical environments.
Different types of printing methods require different label materials and formats. Dot matrix labels are commonly supplied in rolls and are ideal for applications where individual labels are dispensed as needed. Laser and ink jet labels are typically printed on sheets and are well-suited for bulk printing in office or plant environments. For standardized identification, preprinted labels provide ready-to-use messages, while promotional labels support branding and general marking needs.
Specialty label types include thermal transfer labels for durable, long-lasting printing in harsh conditions, write-on labels for quick field identification, and safety tags for warnings, lockout procedures and compliance marking.
The adhesive on labels can vary from ultra-peelable to permanent depending on the application. An ultra-peelable label can stick to glass and be removed cleanly without leaving residue, while a permanent label is designed for long-term attachment and will tear when removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What label materials are best for harsh industrial environments?
In high-temperature, wet, or chemical exposure areas, labels made from durable synthetic films and laminated materials offer superior resistance. These labels maintain adhesion and print legibility even under challenging conditions common in manufacturing and electrical plants.
What considerations should I make when labeling wiring and cables?
Labels for wiring must be flexible, adhesive, strong, and resistant to abrasion. Using appropriately sized labels for wire diameter and environmental rating helps technicians quickly identify circuits during troubleshooting and maintenance.
