In the fast-paced world of industrial manufacturing, durability and precision matter. From heavy-duty equipment to complex machinery, every component relies on clear, long-lasting identification. At NFI Corp, we specialize in delivering high-quality labels engineered to withstand the toughest conditions—because in your industry, failure is not an option.

Built for Extreme Environments

Our labels are designed to perform where others fail. Whether facing exposure to heat, chemicals, abrasion, or outdoor weather, we offer materials that ensure legibility and durability over time:

• Polycarbonate & Polyester Labels – Tough enough to resist scratching and fading.
• Aluminum – Ideal for harsh environments requiring permanent marking.
• Domed Labels – Offering both style and protection with a resilient, crystal-clear finish.
• Capturite® Self-Laminating Labels – Perfect for variable data applications, ensuring information is secure and protected.

How We Stand Out

What sets NFI Corp apart isn’t just our material options—it’s our commitment to customization and quality assurance. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we partner with each client to design and manufacture labels tailored to specific applications, ensuring performance and compliance.

• Customization: Shapes, adhesives, finishes, and laminates tailored to your needs.
• Expertise: Decades of experience serving industrial leaders.
• Innovation: Advanced printing technologies that deliver precision and consistency.
• Compliance: Labels designed to meet industry regulations and standards.

The NFI Difference

While competitors may offer standard labels, NFI Corp provides solutions that work as hard as you do. Our labels aren’t just identifiers—they’re tools that ensure safety, traceability, and efficiency in your manufacturing process.

When quality matters, trust NFI Corp to deliver.

 

In the fast-evolving world of technology and communication, durability and clarity in labeling are essential. Whether applied to servers, telecom equipment, data cables, or high-performance computing devices, your labels must perform reliably under intense conditions—heat, static, abrasion, and chemical exposure are just the start.

1. Start with the Right Material
   Choosing the correct substrate is the first step in ensuring label durability. Polyester is excellent for withstanding high temperatures and resisting chemicals. For rugged outdoor tech applications, UV-resistant materials ensure the label won’t degrade or fade from prolonged sun exposure.
2. Use High-Performance Adhesives
   A label is only as strong as its bond. For technology and communication equipment, where surfaces can be textured, powder-coated, or curved, permanent adhesives engineered for low surface energy or high-heat environments are crucial. Labels should not peel, shift, or deteriorate, even on challenging substrates.
3. Print for Permanence
   Digital printing with durable inks and protective coatings helps preserve the integrity of variable data, barcodes, or instructional information. Consider laminates or overlaminates to guard against abrasion, oils, and solvents. These finishes can extend the lifespan of your labels dramatically.
4. Partner with Experts
   NFI Corp specializes in high-performance labels engineered for the technology and communication sectors. From nameplates and overlays to serial number and UL-compliant labels, we ensure your identification solutions stay legible, secure, and functional—no matter the environment.

Let your technology speak volumes. Make sure the labels that identify it do too.

 

In the fast-paced world of technology and communications, compliance and safety labeling is more than just a regulatory requirement—it’s a fundamental part of product integrity and user trust. At NFI Corp, we understand the critical role labels play in protecting end users and manufacturers alike.

Electronics used in this industry must adhere to strict national and international safety standards, including UL, RoHS, CE, and FCC regulations. Labels must clearly communicate warnings, voltage information, operating temperatures, serial numbers, and certification marks—all while withstanding exposure to heat, humidity, chemicals, and abrasion.

NFI Corp specializes in durable, high-performance labels that are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of the electronics sector. Whether it’s a control panel, circuit board, power adapter, or communication device, we offer label solutions that ensure long-term legibility and adhesion, even in extreme environments. Our materials include high-temperature films, tamper-evident constructions, and specialty adhesives that resist lifting, fading, or smudging.

Beyond compliance, safety labeling also contributes to risk mitigation and brand reputation. Improper or illegible labeling can lead to product recalls, customer injuries, or legal liabilities. That’s why our team works closely with clients to ensure labels are custom-designed for their exact application—meeting not only functional needs but also aesthetic and branding goals.

From prototyping to full production runs, NFI Corp provides end-to-end labeling solutions for electronics manufacturers in the tech and communications space. We help you stay compliant, protect your customers, and build confidence in your products with labels that last.

Let NFI Corp be your partner in precision, compliance, and safety—because when it comes to electronics, every detail matters.

In the fast-paced and highly regulated world of medical manufacturing, product integrity is everything. From pharmaceutical packaging to medical devices, any hint of tampering can be catastrophic—for patient safety, brand reputation, and compliance. That’s why tamper evident and security labels have become essential tools in the fight against counterfeiting, contamination, and unauthorized access.

At NFI Corp, we’ve seen firsthand how companies in the medical industry struggle with subpar label suppliers. Common issues include poor adhesion to challenging substrates, unclear warning indicators, and labels that degrade in high-sterility environments like autoclaves or cold chain logistics. These failures aren’t just inconvenient—they can lead to product recalls, regulatory violations, and loss of trust.

Our custom-engineered tamper evident and security labels are designed to solve those problems. Whether it’s a label that leaves a “VOID” message when removed, destructible films that shred upon tampering, or custom holograms that verify authenticity, we deliver solutions tailored to your exact needs. We use durable, medical-grade materials and adhesives that stand up to sterilization, temperature swings, and the harshest handling—ensuring your product is always protected.

Beyond security, our labels are manufactured to meet FDA and ISO standards, with crisp branding, traceability options (like serialization and barcodes), and a level of quality control that many mass-market providers can’t match.

If you’ve had issues with unreliable labels, missed deadlines, or lackluster customer support from your current supplier, it’s time to make a change. At NFI Corp, we’re more than just a label manufacturer—we’re your partner in patient safety and product protection.

Let us help you secure your products, protect your customers, and meet the highest standards in the medical industry. Reach out today for a custom quote or sample kit.

In the medical industry, labeling is more than just printing—it’s a critical part of safety, compliance, and traceability. Whether you’re manufacturing medical devices, diagnostic tools, or lab equipment, your labels must meet stringent regulations to avoid fines, recalls, and most importantly, to protect patients. At NFI Corp, we understand the complexity of medical labeling and specialize in creating solutions that simplify compliance while enhancing product performance.

 

The FDA and ISO 13485 require labels to be durable, legible, and capable of withstanding harsh environments, such as sterilization, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures. Additionally, medical labels must often incorporate unique device identifiers (UDI), barcodes, and tamper-evident features. That’s a lot to manage—especially when you’re also trying to meet production deadlines and budget constraints.

That’s where NFI Corp comes in.

 

We partner with medical manufacturers to deliver fully compliant, custom labeling solutions that meet all necessary regulations. Our in-house engineering and design teams help guide you through materials, adhesives, and printing options that ensure your labels will last the life of your product. Need traceability?
