Label Materials

Indoor/Outdoor Grade Vinyl. This material adheres well to pipes, walls, equipment, windows or any other clean, dry surface. It conforms well to irregular, curved or rough surfaces and even stands up to grease, oil and many industrial chemicals. It has a five year average outdoor durability rating in temperatures from -40 to 180 F (-40 to 82 C).

  • Any width up to 4". Standard labels are rectangular or square. You can also specify cutout shapes such as circles, ovals, stars, or die cut shapes (text etc.).
  • Standard stock label colors: White, yellow, red, green, dark blue, clear. Also available: Black, brown, gold, grey, purple, orange.

  • Any width up to 4". Standard labels are rectangular or square. You can also specify cutout shapes such as circles, ovals, stars, or die cut shapes (text etc.).

Label Shapes

All label materials can be used for simple rectangles or squares. We can also do various shapes (ovals, circles, stars etc.) and can die cut letters and numbers, depending on the material.

We are beginning to list common/popular custom sizes through our web site so you will have an idea of the pricing and can order them before or after submitting your label details. At the moment we list 2" x 1" and 4" x 4" custom labels with 1-4 print colors. More will follow!

For custom NFPA diamond labels, see item # X1800.

Print Colors

The background color of your label is set by the label material you select. For printing text, symbols etc. choose from black, white, red, blue, green, magenta, yellow, or orange. We print spot color only, so photographs can not be reproduced, for example. The "ink" is a special resin that is heat-bonded to the label material (this is not a simple laser or ink jet print), providing superior smudge-resistance. Most folks use 1 or 2 colors on a label other than the background color, but we can print up to 4.

Graphics

If you want one or more icons/symbols/graphics on your labels, we have a stock library of over 1,000 common icons for symbols. Two-color DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING, NOTICE, and SAFETY FIRST headers are a popular choice. Our standard library includes:
Arrows

  • Exit
  • Fasteners
  • Fire Safety
  • First Aid
  • Hazardous Materials
  • Hazardous Transport
  • Mandatory
  • Maritime Safety
  • Miscellaneous
  • Packaging
  • Prohibition
  • Public Information
  • Signal Words
  • Tools
  • Traffic Signs
  • Warning

There is no extra charge for stock artwork. You can download a black and white version of the standard graphics available (1.2 Mb PDF file) if you'd like to browse. We can also print custom logos/icons, but you will need to provide high-quality artwork and an additional fee may apply for complex logos (depending on the size of the order).

How To Order

You can see pricing or order common sizes of vinyl labels right from our web site; see Label Shapes above. For anything else, you can get a free estimate by simply emailing us a list of the labels you'll need. For each individual type of label indicate:

  • Dimensions (max width = 4", length is essentially unlimited)
  • Type of label material
  • Color of label material
  • Print color(s)
  • Any special icons/symbols/arrows
  • Any cutout descriptions (circles, stars, etc.)
  • Any barcoding/numbering requirements
  • Quantity of each label
  • If necessary, a sketch or layout.

We'll get back to you with pricing. In general, price scales with the size of the label and number of colors used. Quantity discounts are usually available. There is no setup fee for our custom labels that use standard artwork.
