Durable Phenolic Labels – Custom Engraved & Cut
For electricians and other professionals working with electrical panels, wiring, and equipment, clear and durable labeling is essential. That’s where phenolic labels come in. These labels, made from a durable engraved plastic, provide long-lasting, professional identification for electrical components, ensuring safety, organization, and compliance with industry standards.
We specialize in creating high-quality, custom phenolic labels that electricians can depend on. Whether you're marking circuit breakers, control panels, or safety warnings, our engraved plastic labels are built to last.
What Are Phenolic Labels?
Phenolic labels are durable, engraved plastic labels used primarily in industrial and electrical applications. They are made from laminated engravable plastic, which consists of multiple layers in different colors. When engraved, the top layer is removed to reveal a contrasting color underneath, creating highly visible and long-lasting text or graphics. These labels are widely used in electrical work, manufacturing, and facility maintenance to mark panels, switches, conduits, and other critical components.
Why Electricians Use Engraved Plastic Labels
1. Durability in Tough Environments
Electrical systems are often exposed to heat, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical wear. Engraved plastic labels resist fading, corrosion, and damage from harsh conditions, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
2. Professional Appearance
Engraved labels provide a clean, polished, and easy-to-read finish that enhances the professionalism of any job. Whether labeling a control panel in a commercial building or marking junction boxes in an industrial facility, phenolic labels ensure a high-quality look.
3. Compliance with Industry Standards
Electrical codes and safety regulations often require clear, permanent labeling of panels, disconnects, and hazardous areas. Phenolic labels help electricians comply with NEC (National Electrical Code) and OSHA regulations by providing legible and permanent markings.
4. Customization for Any Job
We create custom phenolic labels to match your exact needs. Choose from a variety of:
Colors: Common color combinations include black/white, red/white, and yellow/black to meet safety and industry standards.
Sizes: From small switch labels to large control panel plaques.
Mounting Options: Adhesive backing for quick application or drilled holes for screw mounting.
Text and Graphics: Engrave labels with circuit names, safety instructions, logos, or custom designs.
5. Easy Installation and Maintenance
Phenolic labels are lightweight and simple to install using adhesive backing or screws. Unlike stickers or printed labels, engraved plastic won’t peel or fade over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Common Uses for Phenolic Labels in Electrical Work
Electricians use phenolic labels for a variety of applications, including:
Electrical Panels – Clearly marking breakers, circuits, and panel components.
Disconnect Switches – Ensuring proper identification of emergency shut-offs.
Control Panels – Labeling buttons, switches, and operational instructions.
Conduit Marking – Identifying power sources and wire paths.
Equipment ID Plates – Providing permanent identification for electrical equipment and machinery.
Safety Warnings – Highlighting high voltage areas, lockout/tagout instructions, and hazard warnings.
