Engraved and Printed Traffolyte, PVC and Acrylic Labels for Industrial Identification

Plastic labels are the standard identification method for switchboards, control panels, machinery and building services equipment. We produce them engraved or printed — engraving for permanent, hard-wearing markings, printing where the label needs full colour, a company logo or a barcode. 

We manufacture to your drawing, schedule or sample, in any size, colour combination and quantity.

Where These Are Used

• Switchboard and distribution board labels
• Control panel and MCC labels
• Machine and equipment identification plates
• Valve, pipe and service tags
• Asset and inventory tags
• Danger, warning and safety labels
• Door, room and department signs
• Mimic panels and legend plates
• Cable and circuit identification tags

Material

3-Ply Traffolyte 

The industry standard for switchboard and control panel labelling — a rigid multi-layer laminate that gives sharp, high-contrast lettering and stands up to daily handling in plant rooms and electrical spaces. 

2-Ply PVC 

The general-purpose engraving plastic, lighter and more economical than Traffolyte, in a wide colour range. Suited to indoor and sheltered outdoor equipment, machine labels and asset tagging.

Acrylic

Used where appearance matters as much as function — reception and door signage, room signs and desk or panel plates. 

Method

Engraved 

The lettering is cut through a coloured surface layer to expose the core underneath, so the marking is part of the material and will not fade, rub off or peel. Produced on two- and three-ply laminates such as Traffolyte and PVC, and suited to labels that face handling, abrasion or cleaning chemicals.

Printed 

Artwork is printed onto single-layer plastic such as acrylic, PVC or polycarbonate, allowing full colour, company logos, barcodes and QR codes, and fine graphic detail. Suited to rating plates, colour-coded schemes and any label carrying more than plain text.

Send us your artwork and we will advise which suits the application.
