Safety Signage & Labels

🛠️ Machine Engraved Safety Labels & Signage – Durable, Reliable, and Built to Last

In industrial, commercial, and electrical environments, safety labels and signage are not just important—they're essential. Clear, durable, and legible labels can prevent accidents, identify hazards, and ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

At Signs Online, we specialise in machine engraved safety signage using tough, long-lasting materials like acrylic and traffolyte, tailored to your exact specifications.

🔧 Why Machine Engraving?

Machine engraving cuts directly into the surface of the material, creating deep, precise lettering.

This method is ideal for safety signage because it offers:

• ✅ Permanence – Engraved text won’t rub off or fade

• ✅ High Visibility – Enhances readability

• ✅ Chemical & Weather Resistance – Perfect for indoor and outdoor use

• ✅ Professional Appearance – Clean, consistent finish

Machine engraving is especially suited for safety-critical environments where clarity and durability are vital.

🧱 Material Options: Acrylic vs. Traffolyte

We offer both acrylic and traffolyte materials for engraved safety signage. Each has its own benefits depending on your application.

Acrylic (2-Ply)

• Appearance: Smooth, modern finish with sharp colour contrast

• Durability: Excellent resistance to weather, UV light, and impact

• Thickness: Available in various thicknesses to suit different settings

• Uses: Ideal for control panels, door signs, valve tags, machine markers

Acrylic offers a sleek, polished look while still being robust and practical. It's often used in newer facilities or when a more modern aesthetic is preferred.

Traffolyte (Phenolic Laminate)

• Appearance: Traditional gloss finish, available in industry-standard colour combinations

• Durability: Resistant to heat, chemicals, and abrasion

• Cost-Effective: Affordable for large runs or mass-labelling

• Uses: Widely used for electrical warning labels, switchgear plates, breaker panels

Traffolyte is the industry standard for engraved safety tags and labels. It’s a reliable choice for electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and industrial signage where function and compliance come first.
