NFI offers:
Different products and markets may have different marking requirements. NFI manufactures custom labels for a range of identification and certification applications.
UL 969 Labels
Printed on recognized constructions to support permanent product identification, instructions, and safety markings.
CSA Labels
Custom identification and certification labels for products requiring applicable CSA markings.
CE Mark Labels
Durable labels for manufacturers applying CE markings to products intended for relevant European markets.
UL Recognized Component Marks
Marking options for components such as power supplies, switches, and industrial control equipment, subject to applicable UL authorization and requirements.
Variable Data UL Labels

UL labeling requirements often involve more than printing the correct information. Depending on your application, labels may need to maintain adhesion and legibility after exposure to humidity, water, temperature changes, chemicals, or sunlight.
NFI helps identify recognized label constructions suited to your application and the conditions specified in your product’s marking requirements.
UL’s online PGDQ2 Guide notes that this category covers finished printed adhesive-attached labels that provide warnings, instructions, and other information. Here are helpful details:
Labels with Type L UR Marks are used on products that must show an issue, lot, or serial number sequence, which is assigned during the label ordering process. These numbers may change on a per order basis. Type L UL marks:
There are two different Type L UL marks:
The Type R UL mark may be appropriate for your product if it needs a control number of some kind. The control number may be the UL file number for the certified product or a fixed 4-character number associated with a specific UL file number.
A key advantage of teaming with a UL authorized label supplier such as NFI Corp. is this: We guide you through the entire process to design, approve, and print your labels with Type L UR marks, ensuring the process is efficient and successful. If you’re new to using Type L UR marks, the process can be a bit overwhelming or confusing. For example, UL requires that:
Highlights for Type R UL marks include:
UL 94 relates to flammability testing of plastic (polymeric) materials for parts in devices and appliances. According to the UL Standards Catalog, these requirements are intended to serve as a preliminary indication of their acceptability with respect to flammability for a particular application. Specifically, UL 94 relates to measuring and describing the flammability properties of materials used in devices and appliances in response to a small open flame or radiant heat source under controlled laboratory conditions.
The UL 94 standard may assess important characteristics in the end-use application such as ease of ignition, burning rate, flame spread, fuel contribution, intensity of burning, and products of combustion.
In summary, UL 94 labels address:
PGJ12 is a certification category for UL “Marking and Labeling Systems – Printing Materials” for label converters/printers. According to the online UL Guide Info for PGJ12, this category covers adhesive-attached label materials such as overlaminations, unprinted label stocks, and printed labels that have been investigated in combination with specific inks for adding information to the label materials using compatible printing equipment. The labels are intended to provide warnings, instructions, and other information.
UL specifies “Conditions of Acceptability” when these components are employed in the end-use equipment:
NFI’s UL 969 recognized label constructions and authorized printing capabilities help manufacturers meet applicable marking requirements while reducing labeling complications and production delays.
As you know, manufacturers’ products must be tested by an accredited third-party testing agency, such as the CSA Group, to applicable industry standards. This process enables your product to obtain the required certification marks. You can obtain CSA marks for these products:
The CSA mark on your product indicates that a sample has been certified to applicable standards written (or administered by) ANSI, UL, CSA, NSF International, and other North American organizations. In short, the CSA marks and labels prove that your product meets certification requirements. In addition, the CSA mark can demonstrate that additional requirements – e.g., energy efficiency, sanitation, and low lead levels – have been met, as appropriate.
Indicates that the product was tested and has met the certification requirements for electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical products
Canada, U.S.
Indicates that the product was tested and has met the certification requirements for electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical products
U.S.
Indicates that the product was tested and has met the certification requirements for electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical products
Canada
The CE Mark label is ½” diameter in size, printed black on a silver background and supplied on easy-to-use rolls with an acrylic adhesive suitable for most product surfaces. They are printed on durable UL recognized polyester and overlaminated with a transparent velvet polycarbonate to ensure they’ll last the life of your product.
