REPLACING METAL RATING PLATE WITH DURABLE LABELS

CASE STUDY: REPLACING A METAL SERIALISED RATING PLATE WITH DURABLE LABELS THE APPLICATION: HB Sensors, experts in industrial, cryogenic, and hazardous area sensors, were looking for a durable label to replace a metal rating plate destined for hazardous environments. The requirement was for a 100m x 19mm (approx) sized label that would replace the metallic plate they were currently using, bent around the neck and riveted to a connection head on the sensor. The label would need to feature serial numbers for product traceability, a QR code taking users to its product page, a detailed company logo, certifications of compliance, product information, regulatory safety warnings and more. The old metallic rating plate. THE LABELLING SOLUTION: After receiving a detailed summary of the application requirements, we advised our RML-M4267UB high performance, durable, matt metalised polyester, featuring permanent ‘ultra bond’, ‘heavy-duty’ solvent acrylic adhesive. This flexible material is ideal for a permanent bond to a tight cylindrical surface, as required. This would meet spec while providing a robust, highly durable, chemical and abrasion-resistant surface, coupled with a heavy-duty, permanent acrylic adhesive, offering excellent permanency and durability. The label construction is capable of enduring temperatures up to 150°C. The final artwork. The completed durable label. With the label design approved, they enter production and are shipped on rolls containing the quantities required by the client. Our cost-effective labels provide the same if not better durability than the metal plates they are replacing and save on time and money previously spent tapping/riveting plates to products. Durable labelling is an increasingly more popular method for providing rating plate information with wider applications. You can read another Romark case study here.
