Overview

Danger do not use label printing, made to order and dispatched from the UK.

The label is the second half of the job

When an appliance is classed as Immediately Dangerous and disconnected, the customer gets a written warning notice. The mistake is thinking a sticker does the same job. It does not. The notice explains the fault to the person responsible. The label stays on the appliance and warns the next person who reaches for the switch, whether that is a tenant, a relative or a handyman who never saw the paperwork.

What is printed and what you write

"Danger" across the top, then "DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE" in capitals. Write-on lines for "Date", "Fault", "Engineer" and "Reg. no." sit underneath, and a strip carries your company name, phone number and gas registration number as plain text. No scheme logos, ever. Add your own logo or change the wording if you need to.

Danger do not use label printing options

  • 96 × 68 mm for a fire front or a boiler casing.
  • 110 × 75 mm when you want more room to describe the fault.
  • Matt paper takes a biro on the spot.
  • Gloss paper keeps the colour bright indoors.
  • Waterproof polypropylene with a matt laminate for meter boxes, outdoor pipework and anything handled a lot. Write on it with a permanent marker.

Paper packs run from 8 to 3,600 labels, polypropylene from 250. Every sheet is kiss cut and the adhesive is permanent, so it will not quietly peel off.

Ordering and turnaround

Setting up danger do not use label printing takes a few minutes. Use the free online designer, upload a print-ready file, or book our paid artwork service. A real person checks each uploaded file free of charge. After your order and artwork are confirmed, allow 3 working days on Express, 5 on Standard, 7 on Saver.

Gas work in Great Britain is governed by the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Your notice and job record carry the detail; the label is a loud reminder on the appliance itself.

Questions

Quick answers about danger do not use label printing.

What will be printed on these labels?

Each one carries the heading "Danger" with spaces to fill in for "Date", "Fault", "Engineer" and "Reg. no.". It also shows your company name and phone number and your gas registration number as plain text. Want your logo or different words? Edit it in the online designer and see exactly what you will get.

Which label material is best if I fill details in by hand?

Matt paper: a ballpoint or permanent pen both work. On waterproof polypropylene the matt laminate needs a permanent marker. Keep gloss paper for danger do not use labels that are fully pre-printed.

I need labels for a damp loft or a van: which material?

Choose waterproof polypropylene for your danger do not use label. Paper is for dry indoor use, while polypropylene resists water and handling, which suits outdoor units, meter boxes, plant rooms, lofts and vans.

Can my registration scheme's logo go on the labels?

No. Scheme logos are licensed to their members, so we do not print them for anyone. On your danger do not use label we print your registration or membership number as plain text instead, and your own company logo can go on too.

How few danger do not use labels can I order, and are bigger packs cheaper each?

Packs start at paper from 8 labels and polypropylene from 250. The bigger the pack, the less each label costs; the table under the price gives the per-label cost for every pack. For a size we do not list, ask on the Get a quote page.

If the appliance has one of these labels, can I skip the warning notice?

No, you need both. The label marks the appliance itself, while the warning notice is the written record of what you found and the action you took. Stick to the unsafe situations procedure you normally follow.

What is the turnaround on my danger do not use label order?

Express gets it out in 3 working days, Standard ships after 5 working days and Saver, the lowest price, after 7 working days. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once. Northern Ireland and island addresses get a delivery quote first, and the mainland Highlands add £10.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of Danger Do Not Use Labels?

Picked the way the page first loads, with 110 × 75 mm and gloss paper (indoor), Danger Do Not Use Labels come to £26.31. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £26.31 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Is delivery extra on top of the price of Danger Do Not Use Labels?

Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. An order of just this at the opening price of £26.31 is under £100, so it pays the £7.95. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order. Choose Saver and these labels leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3. For reference, Danger Do Not Use Labels are sold at 110 × 75 mm.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Danger Do Not Use Labels?

Allow 7 working days on Saver, 5 on Standard or 3 on Express before Danger Do Not Use Labels are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Is the online designer free, and how do I use it?

Pick a starting layout, swap in your own words, logo and pictures, and move things around until it looks right. While you work, the tool flags sample text you forgot to change, small text, items outside the safe area and blurry images, before you can finish. It is free to use and the on-screen watermark does not print. What you see is what we print. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

Will paper do for these labels, or do they need something that copes with damp?

Gloss paper is the budget pick when every word is printed and the label lives somewhere dry indoors. Matt paper takes biro ink nicely, so it suits write-on labels kept inside and dry. If the label may get wet, handled a lot or fixed to something outdoors, go for the waterproof polypropylene: it has a matt laminate over the print, so fill it in with a permanent marker, not a biro. All three choices are on this page with their prices. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

How big are Danger Do Not Use Labels?

It measures 110 × 75 mm and costs from £26.31. If that is not quite right for your space, the Safety Electrical Connection Labels or the Boiler Service Labels may fit better. Spend £100 on goods and mainland delivery is free; below that it is £7.95. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.

Biro or marker: what writes best on these labels?

Use a permanent marker on the polypropylene labels: the laminate that makes them waterproof also makes ballpoint ink smudge. On matt paper an ordinary biro is fine. Handy habit: fill in the date and fault before peeling, then press the label into place. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor).

I belong to a registration scheme. Will you put its badge on my labels?

Your number, yes; the badge, no. Scheme logos are licensed to members by the scheme itself, so printing them is not ours to do. We set your membership or registration number as plain text and can add your own company logo alongside it. Check your scheme's own guidance too, since some supply official labels of their own. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. On its opening option, Danger Do Not Use Labels leaves us after 7 working days on Saver.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for these labels is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

Do these labels come on a roll or on sheets, and how many are in a pack?

They arrive kiss cut on backing sheets, so each label lifts off on its own. Paper packs go from 8 up to 3,600 labels, and the waterproof polypropylene version begins at 250. The glue is permanent. Look down the price table: it gives a cost per label for each pack size, so you can spot where buying more gets cheaper. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

How many Danger Do Not Use Labels can I buy at one time?

Anything from 8 to 5000. The quantity choices on the page run 8, 48, 250, 280, 480, 500, 504 and 1000, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 5000, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

What form do Danger Do Not Use Labels take when they arrive?

Straight from the details for Danger Do Not Use Labels: On sheets, kiss cut, ready to peel. The rest of the spec sits in the Specifications tab further down the page. Want it done another way? Describe it in the question box or on our quote form, and a person will let you know if it can be done.

Our event is close. Can Danger Do Not Use Labels be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and Danger Do Not Use Labels can be on the way in 3 working days on the opening option, for £30.47, where Saver is £26.31 and takes 7 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. Designs made in the online designer are printed exactly as they looked on screen. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

Can I send a Word or Canva file for Danger Do Not Use Labels?

Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these labels?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So a 110 × 75 mm layout wants about 1,299 by 886 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm.

What information can go on Danger Do Not Use Labels?

Straight from the details for Danger Do Not Use Labels: optional logo, gas registration number (as text), phone, company name, write-on lines and label wording. The rest of the spec sits in the Specifications tab further down the page. Want it done another way? Describe it in the question box or on our quote form, and a person will let you know if it can be done.

Once I finish designing these labels online, is the file mine to keep?

Two ways. Buy the file on its own: finish your design and pay £9.99 for the print-ready PDF, though you give up the right to cancel as soon as you start downloading it. Or order printing, and a full resolution PDF of the design travels with the order, waiting for you in your confirmation email and under My Account once you have paid. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

Material on Danger Do Not Use Labels: how do the choices differ?

It is what your design gets printed onto. For Danger Do Not Use Labels the list runs waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.

How well does the glue on Danger Do Not Use Labels hold?

In short, the adhesive line for Danger Do Not Use Labels reads: Permanent. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail. Switch between the options on the page and the total moves with you, so comparing costs is quick.

Could Danger Do Not Use Labels be made in a size that is not listed?

In short, the custom sizes line for Danger Do Not Use Labels reads: Other sizes on request (ask for a quote). Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail.

Is it worth buying printed labels rather than writing on plain ones?

Printed labels save you writing the same details over and over: your business name, how to reach you and your registration number are there on every one. Anyone who comes across the item later can tell who handled it and how to contact you, and your labels look consistent from one customer to the next. The smallest packs are modest, so a trial run costs little. You will also find these labels in our Plumbers & Heating Engineers and Gas Engineers sections. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

I work with gas engineers. Are these labels something we could use?

Yes: Danger Do Not Use Labels sit in our Gas Engineers section, next to other things gas engineers buy for gas installs and safety checks. Prices begin at £26.31. The size is 110 × 75 mm. The material choices are waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). Also in that section: Landlord Gas Safety Check Labels and Business Cards. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.

Do plumbers and heating engineers buy Danger Do Not Use Labels from you?

For boiler swaps, heating jobs and callouts, look under Plumbers & Heating Engineers in the shop: Danger Do Not Use Labels are listed there. Prices begin at £26.31; the size is 110 × 75 mm; the material choices are waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). People buying for that kind of work often add Heat Pump Service Labels or A3 Magnetic Signs. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.

What is the best spot for these labels, and how do I make them stay?

Think about who needs to read it next. Put it where the next person checking will see it straight away, on the item or next to it, on a clean and dry surface. A quick wipe first removes the grease that stops glue biting, and pressing from the centre out avoids trapped air. It will stay there, because the adhesive is permanent. For these labels, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor). Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

Should I get Danger Do Not Use Labels, or would Emergency Control Valve Labels suit me better?

Comparing Danger Do Not Use Labels with Emergency Control Valve Labels, this is what changes. Sizes: only 110 × 75 mm on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest 96 × 45 mm. Opening price: £26.31 on this page and £26.55 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.

Can I send these labels back if I no longer need them?

If they arrive faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

Next year we will want the same label again. Is reordering easy?

Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Designed it online? The print PDF from your first paid order stays in My Account and in the confirmation email, so you can reuse it. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these labels is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. For reference, these labels measure 110 × 75 mm.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

Can I pay for Danger Do Not Use Labels by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making these labels once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

I am not sure which options to pick for these labels. Can someone advise me?

Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the label will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and these labels leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.31. On its opening option, Danger Do Not Use Labels leaves us after 7 working days on Saver.

Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?

Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Danger Do Not Use Labels. Under Artwork, the free option for adding your details means we fill in the ready-made layout for you. If you would rather make it yourself, the online designer checks the technical side as you go. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing. Send us a message through the Contact page and a person will get back to you.

Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?

CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering.

Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?

Five things: placeholder wording still sitting in the layout, lettering smaller than will print clearly, anything creeping past the safe area or right up to the trim, logos or photos with too few pixels for the size, and shapes lying on top of words. A serious issue has to be sorted before you finish, while a plain warning can be accepted if you are happy with it. Your spelling is not read, so go over names, numbers and dates yourself. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm.

Can I design these labels first and show the committee before we pay?

You can. Designing online costs nothing until you order, so make a draft, show it to the group and tweak it as often as you like. The on-screen watermark is only there on the preview and is never printed. The designer flags things like small text or low-resolution photos as you go, but it cannot catch a wrong date, so have a second person read it. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 110 × 75 mm.
