Choosing the correct industrial equipment labels
22 July 2022
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT labels are used by many industries to mark any valuable and important assets.

Companies use labels to share important information, such as barcodes, and to show their branding. Labels can be manufactured from a wide range of materials and finished in various ways to suit their application, such as etching being used to ensure the label remains legible even in the harshest environments.
When you choose equipment labels for your business, it’s important that you consider your requirements, the application, and the also the design of the label. Here’s a look at some of the things to consider when choosing the right kind of equipment label for your business.
Consider what items are being labelled, such as the material it is made from and the colours and shape. Your label will need to fit nicely on the item, be completely legible and not be liable to peeling off. A machine that labels jars and bottles may not work for items with flexible packaging, so consider all the aspects of your items and how labels could affect them. If your products have a smooth surface, they will not need the same kind of label as a product with a rough or ridged surface
At GSM Graphic Arts, we have a team of skilled graphic designers who can work with you through the research and development process to provide you with a suitable label for your needs. Whether you need plastic labels or a stainless-steel label that can be chemically etched and used in environments like the oil and gas or offshore industries, we have something to suit you.
