Whether your company builds or distributes construction equipment, manufacturing equipment, medical devices, telecommunications products, HVAC components or any other type of machinery or heavy-duty equipment, it’s likely your product is subject to harsh environmental conditions. Clearly, your industrial labels must withstand those harsh conditions as well.

You can be confident that the NFI Corp. industrial labels on your product will meet your demanding specifications and stand up to rugged environmental conditions.

Materials and How to Choose

Once your label is applied to your equipment, will it be susceptible to constant handling by operators? To harsh chemicals, cleansers, or solvents? To extreme environmental conditions? Thanks to our subsurface printing technique and high-quality materials, NFI Corp.’s plastic industrial labels won’t peel or crack. The design or verbiage won’t scrape off, fade, or disappear. These durable labels weather well, stick to a variety of surfaces, and go the distance.

High-Quality Materials for High-Performing Durability

When it comes to industrial labels, long-lasting durability is a must. Period. At NFI Corp., we know your instruction label, safety sticker, or quality control tag must perform over the long haul – without fading, tearing, or peeling. That’s why we’ll engineer your custom industrial labels to meet your product’s specific needs and environmental conditions. Don’t be surprised if your custom industrial labels last as long as your equipment!

Surface Types & Adhesive Choices

Our engineering-based designers are an inquisitive bunch! When talking with you about the industrial labels you’ll need, they’ll ask plenty of questions – and with good reason. For example, the environmental conditions will directly impact the choice of materials for plastic labels: polyester versus polycarbonate.

In addition, the application surface also plays an important role. In particular, the surface of application determines the type of adhesive needed. Is there low surface energy? Is it a powder-coated finish? Is the surface smooth (such as stainless steel) or is it textured? Each adhesive is perfect for certain surfaces – but not suitable for all surfaces. Our designers seek to clearly understand the label’s usage, so they can recommend the correct materials.

Withstand Harsh Environments

Companies in every industry imaginable rely on NFI Corp. for all types of heavy-duty plastic labels including security labels, OSHA safety labels, high-temperature labels, and chemical-resistant labels.

What is your application? Based on your needs and specifications, our engineering-based designers will select the materials and adhesive to ensure your custom industrial labels withstand extreme weather conditions – including direct sun and saltwater immersion – as well as abrasive cleansers, chemicals, and industrial solvents.

Our engineered construction, permanent plastic labels are:

Functionality

Industrial labels work hard. They might communicate safety notices or operating instructions. The might have QR codes or barcodes for scanning, which facilitates manufacturing, inventory, and shipping. They might feature embossed, cut out, or textured areas to support the product’s usability. They might feature Braille or visual icons to convey vital notices.

Depending on the type of material selected for your custom industrial label – and the label’s functionality – you can choose from a variety of gauges and finish textures including glossy, velvet, textured, matte, or brushed. Every industrial label has different functional requirements, which drive the specifications for materials, engineered adhesives, the overall design, and the final deliverable.

Custom Shapes

Newsflash: Industrial labels don’t have to be rectangular! At NFI Corp., we have a library with thousands of dies to choose from, including a wide variety of round, oblong, square, and rectangular sizes as well as unique shapes. Or you can order your own custom die. Our design team will work with you to select or create a custom shape.
