FLEXIBLE DURABLE CHOICE FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
BY REBECCA OSTERMAN
Are you looking for a flexible, durable label choice for industrial, commercial, or manufacturing label applications? Vinyl label tape provides a cost-effective solution for quality signs, tags or identification in a harsh environment.
Vinyl label tape is made up of a thin, flexible, low-shrink vinyl facestock that can be used to create thermal transfer labels. For the best results, we recommend that you use vinyl label tape with a resin thermal transfer ribbon.
Vinyl label tape provides a number of benefits including:
Whether they are used on warehouse beams, the floor or the wall, labels keep a warehouse organized. Vinyl label tape provides a flexible option for this vital type of durable label.
Workplace signs can help you maintain a professional, clean and safe work environment. Use vinyl labels to create signs to communicate important policy, security, and safety messages that reflect your organization's priorities.
Encourage safe practices and comply with OSHA requirements with Danger, Warning, Caution and Right-to-Know notices. The variety of size and color options offered with vinyl label tape makes it easy to create readable, durable workplace safety labels and signs for use in a wide variety of harsh environments. Additionally, with their pliable material and strong adhesive, vinyl labels can often be placed where bulky signs would be impractical.
Labeling is required for any piece of electrical equipment that may need to be examined, adjusted, or serviced while energized – because this creates the potential for an arc flash incident to occur. This typically includes equipment such as switchboards, panel boards, control panels and transformers. Use vinyl labels to keep your workers safe and adhere to federal arc flash regulations.
Properly labeled pipes indicate contents and flow direction and are color coded to indicate possible hazards related to the pipe contents. Vinyl label tape is a perfect choice for pipe labeling. The flexible label material and strong permanent adhesive make it easy to apply to pipes. And with the high durability of these labels, they can used in even harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, the wide variety of sizes and colors and the option of printing these labels in-house means you can print the pipe labels you need, when you need them.
5S is a basic lean production tool that involves organizing the workplace and providing visual cues that help people easily navigate the workplace and follow instructions. Signs, labels, floor markings and color-coding can all play a role in providing these visual cues. With their durability, ease of installation and variety of sizes and colors, vinyl labels work very well for implementing 5S.
Equipment labels help organizations manage the tools necessary for their employees to do their jobs. These valuable labels can include what a piece of equipment is, who it belongs to and where it is stored. Durable vinyl label tape and permanent adhesive ensure that these labels stay in place, regardless of the environment that equipment is used or stored in.
