Control Panel Labels

We understand that you often require a rapid response to your proposal request, so we always respond quickly within 24 hours. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know when you send in your information.

We are a custom label manufacturer, so every label is custom made to exact requirements. We have built up a cutting die library with thousands of shapes and sizes to choose from. And, we have a special plotter cutter that can cut labels without special tooling, thus avoiding tooling charges for special shapes on smaller orders.

Yes. If you send us the label that you want to match, then we’ll do our best to identify an equivalent material and adhesive type while offering you a solution that will meet your design and performance requirements. Then, we’ll send you samples of the material and adhesive we propose. Your Applications Specialist will guide you every step of the way.

This is where our experience, expertise, supplier base and warehouse full of materials will benefit you. You don’t have to determine the best material alone–our Application Specialists will consult with you to determine the proper facestock for your labels.

• Here are some of the questions we might ask you to help us provide you with the best advice:
  • What is the purpose of the label?
  • What type of printer, if any, is the label going through (e.g. impact, thermal transfer, direct thermal, etc.)?
  • How long does the label need to stay on the product?
  • Will the label be exposed to any extreme temperatures, solvents, abrasion or process that could affect the integrity of the label?

• Most equipment and electrical products are required to be marked with safety-related information. These markings can include warnings, hazards, cautions, electrical ratings and installation instructions. Permanence of markings ensures that the labels adhere to the application surface and the text will remain legible.
• Labels display a wide range of information regarding the use of a given product as well as it’s safe installation. For example, a label’s information can warn users about the risk of electrical shock under certain conditions or can provide information about a product’s electrical rating. Some labels provide information about how to properly use a product as well as the environment a product may be used in. 

• Wire Labeling
  • Establish a method and stick to it.
  • Good practice to show where the wiring is coming from and where it is going
  • Don’t put too much information on the label as it can become confusing and difficult to read
  • Size the labels properly and don’t heat shrink until testing has been completed.
• Hardware Labeling
  • Clearly label all hardware and make sure it makes sense to end user
  • Good practice to make sure all IP addresses are on all radios, PLCs and network equipment
  • Make sure to list any voltage or amperage considerations for hardware if necessary
• UL Labeling
  • Must have a main panel ID
  • This label should include input voltage, short circuit rating, FLA and fuse legend
  • Wire labels should match the drawing provided

• Device panel labeling standards vary in different locations, depending on local and state laws as well as industry regulations. Device panels require many different parts and components to be labeled. Some of the labels highlight safety concerns, while others provide identifying information. 
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are two of the main regulatory bodies in the United States. Both OSHA and ANSI set standards surrounding electrical panel labeling to keep people safe. OSHA has also begun to inspect certain facilities to ensure that they are following best practices. Additionally, the National Fire Protection Association develops the National Electric Code, which dictates how to best manage electrical hazards as well as how to design, install, and inspect electrical equipment. 
• When labeling your electrical panels, here are some things you’ll need to keep in mind:
  • The wording of any sign must be legible and clear with enough information to be understood. 
  • The signal word must be legible from five feet away. 
  • Before use, electrical equipment needs to be marked with the manufacturer’s name and trademark, voltage, current, wattage, or other necessary ratings. 
  • Safety signs must be used to warn employees about electrical hazards.
  • The markings and labels must be able to withstand the conditions they are subject to. 

• Labels for electrical panels play an important role in keeping people safe. Most industrial facilities have pretty complex wiring. Electrical panel labels clarify the connections as well as the types of electrical signals being used. These labels also warn of electrical hazards, using bright colors to draw attention to the important information being conveyed. Additionally, there are components outside of the electrical panel that need to be labeled. Some of these components include: 
  • Terminal blocks
  • Industrial automation equipment
  • Access panels and doors for concealed electrical items
  • Electrical switchgear and switchboards
  • Transformers
  • Electrical substations
  • Motor control consoles
  • Battery racks
  • Motor starters
• Labeling all the components of an electrical panel is essential. You need labels that will stay put and endure industrial conditions to keep people safe. We use only industrial-grade materials to engineer electrical panel labels that will stay adhered to various substrates. As a custom label manufacturer, we can help you design electrical panel labels that will endure whatever conditions your labels will be subject to. We’ll help you engineer labels for electrical panels that will conform to industry standards as well as meet your unique needs.
