Industrial labels are most often polyester, PVC or vinyl labels, resistant to harsh weather and operating conditions. These labels with industrial applications must be durable and long-lasting as well as not tear, fade, crack or peel off. Here, label aesthetics are of secondary importance after their durability and functionality.
Industrial stickers find application in many different sectors: transportation, automotive, healthcare, electrical engineering, military equipment, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and others.
Main purposes of industrial labels
For most applications these labels have to guarantee long-term readability and durability in harsh conditions. Depending on their function, they can carry important information regarding safe use, potential dangers and operating instructions. This is extremely important for ensuring a safe working environment.
Industrial labels can also serve to guarantee the originality of the product, show proof of counterfeit and quality control. In some cases, these labels can protect customers from accidents, potential hazards or purchasing of fake or forged products.
Industrial stickers can have a barcode, QR code, RFID chip or serial number tags. They facilitate rapid inventory, aid logistics and product tracking. They are often imprinted with details about calibration, inspection data, preventative maintenance schedules, reminders for further servicing needs and ownership indicators.
These custom labels have to be legible, durable and adhered securely. Failure to do so may result in unsuccessful inspections or even legal issues if operating and safety standards are not met.
Necessary durability and quality of industrial labels
When choosing your industrial labels, consider how and where your products will be transported, stored and used. That will determine the degree of durability that the manufactured labels need to have.
For instance, some equipment is often exposed to high temperatures. These equipment labels should be made with heat-resistant materials and a very strong durable adhesive. This ensures that the product labelling will be in excellent condition for many years.

Industrial labels application
Industrial labels are applied in a very wide variety of sectors. This is done as to create a safe working environment and ensure secure tracking of products and equipment.
For example, in electrical engineering, seal labels are often placed on cables or electrical switchboards. Due to the high levels of potential danger in this sector, accurate warning labeling can significantly reduce accidents.
In the healthcare sector it is often necessary to thoroughly clean equipment with cleaning agents containing alcohol. The industrial adhesive labels which are placed on medical equipment have to be of the highest possible quality, readability and durability.
The transportation trade also requires durable industrial stickers. Identification labels that can withstand the harshest weather conditions and dousing with salt water have to be used in maritime transportation. In land transportation you need eye-catching long-lasting labels. They should not deform, fade away, crack or peel off during long journeys in many different weather conditions.
Industrial printed labels also have to clearly display your brand and be a visual representation of your commitment to safety. They have to be legible and placed in a clearly visible spot on your product to aid daytime and nighttime visibility.
