Our collective years of continued research and successful completion of previous projects and earned agency approvals ensure our ability to create a superior label design to meet your needs.

MATERIAL FOR APPLICATION

“Every Label Application is Unique”

Engineering Approved Drawings are key to documenting and communicating all specifications required for each labeling system.  Advanced Labelworx, Inc. offers drawing updates for all customers, leaving only the approval for the customers’ engineers.

A thorough engineering approved drawing includes all materials and adhesives, the application surface, and the environmental requirements.  All 165 plus agency approvals maintained by Advanced Labelworx, Inc. outline the application surface and performance characteristics.  Over the years we have developed the following top 10 items to be discussed when confirming a specific material for application.

1. Can a current drawing of the part (with specified requirements) be supplied?
2. Do we need to match specific components or can approved material and adhesive equivalents be used?
3. What are the performance expectations of the labeling solution i.e. will the label be exposed to chemicals and if so what kind?
4. What is the application surface?
   1. Is the application surface metal or plastic?
   2. Is the application surface painted (smooth epoxy or powder-coat paint)?
   3. Is the application surface rough or textured?
   4. Is the application surface round or flat (will the label be wrapped to itself)?
5. Temperature Requirements?
6. Will the label be Indoor/Outdoor exposed or enclosed?
7. Will the label be imprinted?  If so, what is the make/model of the printer?
8. Is this an existing label or a new application?
9. Please note previous issues, challenges and areas for improvement.
10. What is the annual quantity required?

Once a material is confirmed for use our purchasing department monitors inventory to ensure no aged components are used in label construction.
