Overview

Periodic inspection label printing at FatPrint, in short: a rented flat changes hands, the letting agent changes, and the last EICR is buried in someone's inbox. The one place the date survives is a label on the consumer unit, as long as somebody put one there.

Who reads it, and when

This is the label people look for when they are trying to work out when the next inspection is due. A landlord checks it at a changeover. A new tenant spots it. The next electrician sees who inspected it last and when. It sits at or near the consumer unit or distribution board. The inspection report is still the record that counts; the label points people to the dates.

Printed wording

The heading is "Important", followed by "This installation should be periodically inspected and tested". Write-on lines cover "Date of last inspection", "Recommended date of next inspection" and "Inspected by". The bottom strip carries your company name, phone number and scheme or registration number as plain text, never a scheme logo. Add a logo, pre-print details that stay the same, or tweak the wording. BS 7671 includes a periodic inspection notice at the origin of the installation, so check the edition you work to.

Periodic inspection label printing options

  • Matt paper: takes a ballpoint or permanent pen, ideal for dates filled in on the day.
  • Gloss paper: brighter colour for indoor boards.
  • Waterproof white polypropylene with a matt laminate: for outdoor units, lofts, plant rooms and garages. Use a permanent marker.

Sizes are 76 × 51 mm or the larger 96 × 68 mm, which leaves more room for handwriting. Paper packs run from 48 to 3,600 labels, polypropylene from 250. Labels come on sheets, kiss cut and ready to peel, with a permanent adhesive. Ask for a quote if you need another size.

Questions

Quick answers about periodic inspection label printing.

What goes on each periodic inspection labels (EICR)?

A "Important" heading, spaces to fill in for "Date of last inspection", "Recommended date of next inspection" and "Inspected by", and your company name and phone number and your scheme or 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 a periodic inspection labels (EICR) with a pen?

Yes, if you order your periodic inspection labels (EICR) 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 periodic inspection labels (EICR) 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 periodic inspection labels (EICR) 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.

Which date do I write under next inspection on these labels?

Use the date recommended on the EICR. You add it yourself using a permanent marker, so matt paper or the matt-laminated polypropylene will take the ink best.

How fast can I have this periodic inspection labels (EICR) order?

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. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order. Northern Ireland and island addresses get a delivery quote first, and the mainland Highlands add £10.

Asked by buyers

How much will the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) set me back?

£26.74 is where the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) starts, set up as 96 × 68 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 this label, and what do I write in myself?

You fill in three things by hand: date of last inspection, recommended date of next inspection plus inspected by. Everything else is printed for you, starting with the "IMPORTANT" 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. For reference, this label measures 96 × 68 mm.

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 £26.74 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.

If I buy the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) 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.

I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?

Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: we put your details on the ready label layout (no charge), send your own finished file (no charge), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Prefer to do it yourself? The online designer is free to use. Make the artwork for this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

Could I lay out this label myself on your website?

Yes. Start the designer from this page, choose a layout to begin with, then drop in your text, logo and photos and drag them where you want. It checks as you go and warns you about leftover sample text, lettering that is too small, anything outside the safe area and images too low in resolution, all before you finish. Designing and previewing costs nothing. The watermark you see on screen is never printed; once you finish, it goes into the basket. Make the artwork for this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

Will paper do for this label, 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 this label, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor).

What are the measurements of the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR)?

It measures 96 × 68 mm and costs from £26.74. If that is not quite right for your space, the PAT Test Pass Labels or the PAT Test Fail 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 this label?

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 date of last inspection and the rest while the label is still on its backing sheet. For this label, 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 this label, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor).

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. For reference, this label measures 96 × 68 mm.

Is there a minimum quantity for this label?

The smallest order is 48 and the largest listed is 10000; the list starts 48, 250, 280, 480, 500 and 520 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, this label costs from £26.74.

What form does the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) take when it arrives?

In short, the supplied line for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) 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.

Do this label come on a roll or on sheets, and how many are in a pack?

Paper packs go from 48 up to 3,600 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. Before delivery, this label costs from £26.74.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) 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 this label leaves us after 7 working days; Express brings that down to 3.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this label?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 3 working days to get the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) out, against 7 on Saver, and costs £30.97 on the opening option rather than £26.74. 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.

Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?

Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. For reference, this label measures 96 × 68 mm.

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 this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

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 this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

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 this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this label?

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.

What information can go on the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR)?

In short, the printed details line for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) reads: optional logo, scheme or 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.

Once I finish designing this label 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 this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

How well does the glue on the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) hold?

Straight from the details for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR): 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.

How do I pick the right material for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR)?

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 this label, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor).

Could the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) be made in a size that is not listed?

Straight from the details for the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR): 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.

I work with electricians. Is this label something we could use?

For rewires, testing and inspections, look under Electricians in the shop: the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) is listed there. Prices begin at £26.74; the size is 96 × 68 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 Danger 240 Volts Sign or Business Cards. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.

Do landlords and letting agents buy the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) from you?

Yes: the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) sits 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 £26.74. The size is 96 × 68 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: Self-Inking Company Stamps and Carbon Monoxide Alarm 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 this label in our Landlords & Letting Agents and Electricians sections.

What is the best spot for this label, and how do I make it 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 this label, the material can be Waterproof polypropylene (matt laminated, indoor and outdoor); or Matt paper (indoor, easy to write on); or Gloss paper (indoor).

Should I get Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR), or would PAT Test Pass Labels suit me better?

Set the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) beside PAT Test Pass Labels and a few things differ. Sizes: only 96 × 68 mm on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest 51 × 25 mm. Opening price: £26.74 on this page and £26.31 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.

Where do the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) and PAT Test Fail Labels differ?

Comparing the Periodic Inspection Labels (EICR) with PAT Test Fail Labels, this is what changes. Sizes: only 96 × 68 mm on this page, and 2 on the other, the smallest 51 × 25 mm. Opening price: £26.74 on this page and £26.31 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.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders and the print files of anything you designed online. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you.

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. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each label is made to order for you. For reference, this label measures 96 × 68 mm.

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. Before delivery, this label costs from £26.74.

I am not sure which options to pick for this label. Can someone advise me?

Of course. Tell us three things: where this label 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. For reference, this label measures 96 × 68 mm.

Can I send this label back if I no longer need it?

Not for a change of mind. This label is 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. Before delivery, this label costs from £26.74.

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 this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.

Can I design this label first and show the committee before we pay?

Yes. The online designer is free to use, so you can build the design, look at it on screen and share it round before anyone commits. The preview carries a watermark on screen only; it never appears on the printed item. When everyone is happy, finish the design and order. What you see is what gets printed, so check names, dates and numbers together first. Make the artwork for this label the same size as the one you order, such as 96 × 68 mm.
