Warning label – signals the risk of hazard occurrence connected with staying in a given area or improper use of the product or device. In many cases marking a product with a warning label is required by law. It is in the form of a self-adhesive label or tag with printed information about potential hazard. The size of the label, colour, used graphic design or pictograms are standardised and compliant with the industrial requirements. They constitute an internal part of health and safety systems and are used in business areas and public institutions.
Application
Warning labels on wires and harnesses and cables in the automotive industry play a key role in ensuring safety, proper operation and compliance with technical standards. They inform users and service technicians about potential hazards such as high voltage, especially in electric and hybrid vehicles. Warning labels for the automotive industry are made of durable materials that are resistant to extreme environmental conditions (temperatures from about -40°C to even +150°C, chemical effects and abrasion). Printing on warning labels is made using technologies that ensure long-term legibility, such as thermal transfer printing.
Warning labels on electrical equipment, control cabinets, transformer stations, switchgear are an essential element to ensure operational safety and compliance. Warning labels inform about hazards such as high voltage, risk of electric shock, possibility of electric arc or the need to disconnect the power supply before service. Warning labels in the form of a foam label ensure very strong adhesion even to uneven, powder-coated surfaces. Thanks to the flexible foam, the label adheres perfectly to surfaces of various textures, and its top layer with a print remains perfectly smooth. This marking is very durable, resistant to temperature, moisture and chemicals.
Many products and appliances, due to their design and features, require special storage, handling, or care during storage or transportation. Failing to follow the relevant regulations can result in damage to the product or put the user at risk. Many industries are subject to regulations that require a warning label to be placed on the packaging of goods or specific products.
A warning label is a special type of marking that signals the risk of hazard occurrence connected with staying in a given area or improper use of the product or device. In many cases, marking a product with a warning label is required by law.
Warning labels, in the form of self-adhesive labels with printed information about potential hazards, are used in the following places:
The size of the label, color, graphics, or pictograms are standardized and compliant with the industrial requirements. For the labelling of chemicals, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals is used. Warning labels constitute an internal part of health and safety systems and are used in business areas and public institutions. Standard signs and pictograms are used to mark electrical equipment. Apart from standard warning labels required by law or typical for a particular group of products, warning labels can also be applied to packages. Warning labels on packages during transport can help ensure caution and proper securing of goods, as well as help reduce the risk of damage.
At ETISOFT, we make custom warning labels tailored to individual needs and industry requirements. We print warning markings on labels that are resistant to chemical substances and external factors (water, low temperatures, UV radiation) for many years. We offer durable warning labels for products that are stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. We manufacture warning labels on various materials:
We carry out orders for both small businesses in small quantities and large-volume orders for the automotive, electrical and energy, home appliance, chemical, and laboratory industries. We do our best to carry out each of them in a relatively short time and taking into consideration all the specifications of the ordering party.
We invite you to take a closer look at our range of warning labels. We will be happy to answer all your questions and help design proper warning labels depending on the requirements of your industry, product, or needs.
Due to the demands of the automotive and e-mobility industries (we wrote about them, among other things, here), also labels and tags must feature increased durability in unusual conditions that […]
American and Canadian markets require certification of devices and their components for the safety standards in force in those countries. The certification obligation also applies to self-adhesive labels or rating […]
