Arc Flash Label Options
Use Die-cut Labels
 DuraLabel die-cut arc flash labels: Examples of die-cut labels are shown to the left. They are 4" x 6" labels with preprinted headers. Boxes on the label help organize information so that the information is communicated quickly, clearly and accurately.
Long Lasting: Die-cut labels are made from industrial grade indoor/outdoor vinyl, providing a long label life. The rounded corners extend label life even further my making it difficult for the label to start curling up at the corners.
Database software: Database software, included with the DuraLabel, can be used to print, track and organize your arc flash labels. Die-cut labels may also be printed using other software such as Microsoft Word or Excel.
Three Languages: DuraLabel die-cut arc flash labels are available in three languages, English, French and Spanish. (Die-cut labels are also available as blank white labels and with a blue "NOTICE" header.)
Two Color Vinyl Tapes
 What is two color vinyl? Two color vinyl provides a white vinyl tape with a color "header". The header is available in orange or red. Several header heights are available.
With two color vinyl tapes a pictogram and signal word can be printed in the header area, with the information printed on the body of the label in the white area. The header and information can be formatted however you'd like.
Two color vinyl tapes can be printed with software you already have, such as Microsoft Word and Excel. Arc flash label templates are included with the DuraLabel to help you quickly design the labels you need.
Advantages: The advantage of this type of material is that there is no set width. Tapes are available up to four inches in height, with the width being whatever you require for your label.
Single Color Vinyl Tapes
 DuraLabel Single Color Tapes: The simplest label is one printed on a single color tape. You should use this style if it matches the existing labeling standards in your facility, or if you need maximum design flexibility.
Making Arc Flash Signs: In addition to making a label from a single vinyl tape, tapes can be combined to create larger signs. The DuraLabel printer is able to span several tapes with printing. For example, the word "WARNING" could be printed in letters six inches high using two strips of orange tape. The strips are combined one above the other to form the complete word. This means you can print a 24" x 36" arc flash warning sign by combining two strips of orange tape to make the header and six strips of white tape to make the white body of the sign.
