We are experts in supplying labels whose adhesives can withstand up to 300 degrees Farenheit. Applications may include under bonnet labelling, printed circuit board and electronics, ceramics, baking trays and steel instruments.In the production of PCB’s for example, the identification of both product and process data, particularly during high temperature processes such as soldering, hot air tinning and gilding, puts huge demands on the label material used. Our high temperature resistant labelstock will withstand temperatures up to 300ºC and will remain in place and legible throughout the manufacturing and assembly process. The smooth, matt white surface also facilitates very accurate thermal transfer printing to produce high-density barcodes, and ensure positive identification at all times. This in turn aids product logistics and tracking of data, minimising warranty claims and maintaining quality standards. Our range of materials include polyesters, vinyls, polypropelene and Kapton.

Electronic Labels FAQs

What sort of labels are required to go on electrical equipment in the UK?

Electrical equipment in the UK must be labelled clearly and durably to ensure safety and compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Required labels typically include warning labels, voltage labels, and operational instructions, which must be able to withstand in the environment they function in. These labels must also comply with the Low Voltage Directive if they are to be used within certain voltage limits. Labelservice electrical labels are all designed, printed, and guaranteed to follow the required UK regulations.

What are electrical warning labels and where are they most used?

Electrical warning labels are important safety markers that are used to alert users about any potential electrical hazards – such as high voltages, shock risks, and/or grounding requirements. They are most commonly used in industrial settings, consumer electronics and products, in commercial buildings, or anywhere electrical systems are used by non-specialist personnel. These labels prevent accidents and aid in the safe operation of electrical equipment.

What are electrical safety stickers?

Electrical safety stickers are an adhesive label that provides safety information and are attached directly to either electrical equipment or at suitable locations that warn people of potential hazards. Electrical safety stickers are designed to be visible and usually use bright colours and universally recognised symbols to communicate various risks (such as high voltage, grounding instructions, or disconnect procedures) to maintain safety in environments that might be considered high risk.

What are electrical inspection labels?

Electrical inspection labels act as documentation for an object’s maintenance history and safety checks. These labels signal when an electrical device or installation was last inspected and when the next check is due to take place. This information is vital for compliance with health and safety standards and helps businesses keep track of maintenance schedules to keep equipment operating properly and ensure the safety of personnel.

What are electrical installation labels?

Electrical installation labels are used to provide some specific information that describes electrical installations, including circuit numbers, phase identification, and power ratings. Installation labels aid in proper maintenance cycles to help speed up troubleshooting and also allow for quicker identification for smoother upgrades and repairs.

What are electrical circuit labels?

Electrical circuit labels are used on electrical panels and circuits to provide a clear identification and display relevant information. This information includes the circuit’s purpose, destination, voltage level, and any safety instructions. These labels are an important part of total system clarity, and are vital for good maintenance efficiency, and overall operational safety, particularly during any system upgrades or potential emergencies.

What are the regulations in the UK around labelling electrical equipment?

Labelling electrical equipment in the UK is governed by regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. These regulations require clear markings for the safe operation and maintenance of electrical systems. Labels also need to meet specific durability and readability standards under the British Standards (BS) and European Norms (EN) as these standards signify a label can withstand environmental conditions and remain legible across the equipment’s lifecycle.

Are all these electrical labels you provide waterproof?

We understand the importance of durability in electrical labelling at Labelservice. Our electrical labels are designed to be waterproof and resistant to various environmental factors which include moisture, oil, and extreme temperatures – this makes them suitable for use in all environments for electrical equipment and devices (both indoor and outdoor applications).

Are electrical labels removable or repositionable?

Labelservice offers both permanent and repositionable electrical labels but which is more suitable depends on the application’s needs. For example, repositionable labels allow labels to be repositioned after the first application which can be useful during the first stages of installation or later on if any layout changes are needed.

What printing methods are used to produce electrical labels?

We employ several printing techniques at Labelservice to produce electrical labels, these include digital printing, screen printing, and flexography. Digital printing offers the most flexibility for custom labels that contain large amounts of detail or more varied and vibrant colours, this tech is best for small or medium runs. Screen printing is used for much larger runs and is also an excellent choice for more durable prints that need to withstand harsher environments. Finally, flexography is best used for very large volume runs as it provides the efficiency and consistency needed for these higher print numbers.
