Workplace Labels and Signs

What is different about workplace labels and signs?  What I'm talking about is the difference between picking up a home of office labeler at Staples or getting a workplace labeling machine such as the DuraLabel PRO.

A key difference is that many workplace labels and signs are safety related and required by OSHA or codes published by organizations such as NFPA.  When you are talking about safety signs, you need to be talking about rugged, superior quality, long-lasting labels that resist environmental conditions.  That's the number of people are getting DuraLabel printers is growing fast.

The difference between a DuraLabel custom label printer and the typical label printer sold in an office supply store is in the quality.  Office supply store label printers are typically light duty (that relates to the number of labels printed per day) and they use small size, light duty supplies.  They can work well for putting labels on paper files, but if you need to label your fire extinguishers, you had better be using labels you can count on to remain in place.

For example, on of the characteristics of the material used to make labels is the tendency to retain its shape.  Labeling material comes on a roll.  After a label has been printed and applied, it will attempt to return to the curved shape it had on the roll.  The amount of force the label exerts attempting to resume a burn shape, the strength of the adhesive, and the surface on which the label has been applied determine what will happen.  Will the label stay in place? Or will it start to curl and pop off?

Another factor in label durability is shrinkage of labels after they are applied. Labeling materials can shrink, or flex during temperature changes. Both of these "movements" will result in early label failure.

With DuraLabel you get labeling supplies designed for the workplace.  DuraLabel vinyl is designed to minimize the tendency of the vinyl to return to a curved shape.  DuraLabel vinyl uses strong, permanent adhesives.  DuraLabel vinyl is engineered to minimize shrinkage and flexing.  Labels made with DuraLabel vinyl remain in place. That's why DuraLabel is THE ONLY supplier to provide a five year warranty on the labels you make.
