Overview
Emergency control valve label printing, made to order and dispatched from the UK.
Written for someone in a panic
The person reading this label is not you. It is a tenant late at night, a new office manager or a teenager home alone, standing in a cupboard with a phone torch. They need two things: which lever is the valve, and what to do with it. The label tells them both in plain words.
Printed text and the handy extras
"Gas Emergency Control Valve" heads the label, with "Turn off here if you smell gas" beneath it. There is a write-on line for "ECV location", which helps when the valve is tucked behind a unit or sits in a meter box outside and you want a second label indoors pointing to it. Your company name, phone number and gas registration number sit along the bottom as plain text, never a scheme logo. Use the extra wording box to add the national gas emergency number and any local instructions, and they will be printed on every label.
Emergency control valve label printing: sizes and stock
- 96 × 45 mm, a slim strip that fits on or next to the valve.
- 96 × 68 mm for a meter cupboard door where there is room to read.
- Gloss or matt paper for indoor spots; matt takes a pen for the location line.
- Waterproof polypropylene with a matt laminate for outdoor meter boxes. Write on it with a permanent marker.
Paper comes in packs from 48 to 5,040, polypropylene from 250. Sheets are kiss cut and the adhesive is permanent. Other sizes are quoted on request.
From file to door
Getting emergency control valve label printing started is easy. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or hand it to the paid artwork service. We check every uploaded file by eye at no cost. Ready to dispatch in 3 working days (Express), 5 (Standard) or 7 (Saver) after your order and artwork are confirmed. Delivery to the UK mainland is £7.95, free on £100 or more after discounts; the delivery page covers everywhere else. Related: trade and compliance labels.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 cover gas installations in Great Britain. A clear label at the valve sits alongside the paperwork you leave behind, not instead of it.

Questions
Quick answers about emergency control valve label printing.
What goes on each emergency control valve label?
A "Gas Emergency Control Valve" heading, spaces to fill in for "ECV location", and your company name and phone number and your gas registration number as plain text. In the online designer you can change the wording or add a logo, and you see exactly what is printed.
Can I write on an emergency control valve label with a pen?
Yes, if you order your emergency control valve label on the right stock. Matt paper takes a ballpoint or a permanent pen. The waterproof polypropylene has a matt laminate, so use a permanent marker on it. Gloss paper is meant for labels that are printed in full with nothing to fill in.
Which emergency control valve label stock copes with rain or damp?
Waterproof polypropylene. It shrugs off water and handling, so it is right for outdoor units, lofts, meter boxes, vans and plant rooms. The paper labels are for dry, indoor spots only.
Will you add the logo of the scheme I am registered with?
We cannot: those logos are licensed to members only. What we can print on your emergency control valve label is your registration number as plain text, plus your own business logo.
What is the minimum order for these labels?
Paper from 48 labels and polypropylene from 250. Price per label falls as packs get larger, and you can see the cost each for every pack below the price. Need a size that is not listed? Use the Get a quote page.
Could the label show the number to ring if someone smells gas?
It could. Type the wording you want, for example the national gas emergency number, into the extra wording box and we add it to the design. Read it through carefully before you place the order.
How long until my emergency control valve label order ships?
On Standard it is made and handed to the courier within 5 working days; Express shortens that to 3 working days, Saver stretches it to 7 working days for less. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Highlands mainland addresses add £10; Northern Ireland and the islands are quoted first.
Asked by buyers
How much will Emergency Control Valve Labels set me back?
£26.55 is where Emergency Control Valve Labels start, set up as 96 × 45 mm and gloss paper (indoor) on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
What wording comes already printed on these labels, and what do I write in myself?
You fill in one thing by hand: ecv location. Everything else is printed for you, starting with the "GAS EMERGENCY CONTROL VALVE" heading, then your company name, phone number and, as text only, any registration number. Want your logo on too? Add it in the online designer before you finish the layout. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
If I buy Emergency Control Valve Labels today, when will they leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for Emergency Control Valve Labels are Express 3 working days, Standard 5 and Saver 7, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £26.55 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. On this page, Emergency Control Valve Labels start from £26.55.
Will paper do for these labels, or do they need something that copes with damp?
Anywhere damp, outdoors or knocked about: pick the waterproof polypropylene and write on it with a permanent marker. Somewhere dry indoors where you will write details on each one: matt paper is the easiest to write on. Nothing to write and staying indoors: gloss paper does the job for less. Swap between the three materials on this page and the total updates as you go. 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). Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
Which sizes can Emergency Control Valve Labels be printed in?
Smallest: 96 × 45 mm, from £26.55. Biggest: 96 × 68 mm, from £26.74. Both figures are for the cheapest options. Not sure which? Mark the space out with tape or string first and stand back to look. A tape measure and a quick sketch of the spot will settle most size questions in a couple of minutes.
Biro or marker: what writes best on these labels?
That comes down to the material. Matt paper is happy with an everyday biro or a thin permanent pen. The waterproof polypropylene has a laminate on top where biro ink just sits and smears, so keep a permanent marker for that one. If the spot is fiddly to reach, write the ecv location and the rest while the label is still on its backing sheet. 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?
We cannot, because those badges belong to the scheme and only its members may use them, under its own rules. What we can print is your membership or registration number in plain text, next to your own business logo if you have one. Where your scheme hands out official badge labels or sets rules for showing membership, go by what it says. 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 £26.55. For reference, Emergency Control Valve Labels are listed in 2 sizes, the smallest being 96 × 45 mm.
Is there a minimum quantity for these labels?
The smallest order is 48 and the largest listed is 10000; the list starts 48, 250, 480, 500, 1000 and 2000 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Do these labels come on a roll or on sheets, and how many are in a pack?
Paper packs go from 48 up to 5,040 labels, and the waterproof polypropylene version begins at 250. They arrive kiss cut on backing sheets, so each label lifts off on its own. The glue is permanent. Each pack size has its own per-label figure in the price table, which makes comparing two sizes quick. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
What form do Emergency Control Valve Labels take when they arrive?
In short, the supplied line for Emergency Control Valve Labels reads: On sheets, kiss cut, ready to peel. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
And the largest label, 96 × 68 mm: how much is that one?
From £26.74 for 48, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will Emergency Control Valve Labels cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and these labels leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. On this page, Emergency Control Valve Labels start from £26.55.
Is there a quicker turnaround for these labels?
Work back from the day you need them. Express takes 3 working days to get Emergency Control Valve Labels out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £30.75 on the opening option rather than £26.55. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. Nothing is printed until a file passes that check, and you can send a corrected one. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on these labels?
Roughly 1,134 pixels across and 803 down for a 96 × 68 mm design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
What information can go on Emergency Control Valve Labels?
In short, the printed details line for Emergency Control Valve Labels reads: optional logo, gas registration number (as text), phone, company name, write-on lines and label wording. Anything unusual in mind? Send the details through our quote form and someone will reply. The Specifications tab lists every other detail.
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 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.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. With the online designer, what you see on screen is what gets printed. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm.
Once I finish designing these labels online, is the file mine to keep?
Yes. Order printing with an online design and a full resolution PDF comes with it; after payment you can download it from your confirmation email or from My Account. Just want the file? Finish the design and buy the print-ready PDF on its own for £9.99. As digital content, it cannot be cancelled once the download begins. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
How well does the glue on Emergency Control Valve Labels hold?
Straight from the details for Emergency Control Valve Labels: Permanent. 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.
Material on Emergency Control Valve Labels: how do the choices differ?
The material option has 3 settings: waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or gloss paper (indoor). It is what your design gets printed onto. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. 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. For reference, Emergency Control Valve Labels are listed in 2 sizes, the smallest being 96 × 45 mm.
Could Emergency Control Valve Labels be made in a size that is not listed?
Straight from the details for Emergency Control Valve Labels: Other sizes on request (ask for a quote). 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.
Would Emergency Control Valve Labels be useful for landlords and letting agents?
Yes: Emergency Control Valve Labels sit in our Landlords & Letting Agents section, next to other things landlords and letting agents buy for lets, rental homes and shared buildings. Prices begin at £26.55. 2 sizes are listed, starting at 96 × 45 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: Consumer Unit Circuit Labels and Business & Address Labels. One basket can hold the lot, and delivery is free once the goods reach £100.
Is it worth buying printed labels rather than writing on plain ones?
Usually, yes. Your firm's name, contact details and registration number come already printed on each one, so months later a tenant, client or inspector can see whose work it was and get in touch. Every label matches, and the lines left for handwriting remind you what to fill in on the day. You can begin with one of the smaller packs to try them out. You will also find these labels in our Landlords & Letting Agents and Gas Engineers sections.
Do gas engineers buy Emergency Control Valve Labels from you?
For gas installs and safety checks, look under Gas Engineers in the shop: Emergency Control Valve Labels are listed there. Prices begin at £26.55; 2 sizes are listed, starting at 96 × 45 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 Folded Leaflets or Business & Address Labels. 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?
Choose a place that is clean, dry and easy to spot, either on the item itself or right beside it. Give the surface a wipe to shift dust or grease, then smooth the label down from its centre towards the edges. The glue is permanent and not made for moving, so settle on the spot before you peel. 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 £26.55. For reference, Emergency Control Valve Labels are listed in 2 sizes, the smallest being 96 × 45 mm.
Where do Emergency Control Valve Labels and RCD Test Labels differ?
Set Emergency Control Valve Labels beside RCD Test Labels and a few things differ. Sizes: 2 on this page, the smallest 96 × 45 mm, and only 96 × 45 mm on the other. Opening price: £26.55 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?
Not for a change of mind. These labels are made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Can I buy Emergency Control Valve Labels and other products in the same basket?
Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for these labels is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. For reference, Emergency Control Valve Labels are listed in 2 sizes, the smallest being 96 × 45 mm.
I am not sure which options to pick for these labels. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where these labels will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
Can I swap my file once I have paid?
It depends on timing. Until production begins, a new file can replace the old one, or the order can be cancelled with a full refund; once it has begun, nothing can be changed. Message us straight away on the Contact page with your order number. Items printed exactly as supplied or designed do not count as faulty, so check names, numbers and dates first. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
Our club needs a big batch of labels, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55. Choose Saver and these labels leave us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3.
I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?
No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. The free online designer also warns you about small text and blurry images before you finish. Easier still, choose the free Artwork option for adding your details and we fill in the ready-made layout for you. Type your question into the box on this page and a person replies. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm.
Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?
Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. If you have no file, you can build the design for these labels in our free online designer and check every detail before ordering. Sizes for these labels go from 96 × 45 mm at the small end to 96 × 68 mm, 2 in all.
Which mistakes does the online designer warn me about?
Spelling is the one thing it cannot judge, so read that yourself. It does catch placeholder words nobody changed, tiny lettering, anything drifting beyond the safe area or near the trim, blurry logos and photos, and objects covering words. Issues that would spoil the print stop you finishing until they are sorted; lighter warnings you may choose to accept. Make the artwork for these labels the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 45 mm. Before delivery, these labels cost from £26.55.
