Electrician Label Printing

Electrician label printing, job by job

PAT testing a client's office

Forty kettles, monitors and extension leads, one label each: the classic electrician label printing job. PAT Test Pass Labels go on everything that passes. PAT Test Fail Labels mark anything withdrawn from use, so nobody plugs the dodgy heater back in. Both come in 51 x 25 mm or 62 x 33 mm, small enough to wrap round a flex or sit on a plug top.

Finishing a consumer unit swap

An RCD Test Label by the board reminds the householder to press the test button. It comes in 76 x 51 mm or 96 x 45 mm. Add Safety Electrical Connection Labels at earthing and bonding points so nobody unclips them while fitting a new sink.

Signing off an EICR

Periodic Inspection Labels record when the installation was last inspected and when the next one is due. 76 x 51 mm or 96 x 68 mm, fixed at or near the board where the next electrician will look first.

Fitting solar PV or a battery

Dual Supply & Solar PV Labels warn that the installation has more than one source of power, so isolating the main switch does not make it dead. 96 x 68 mm or 76 x 51 mm.

Paper or polypropylene?

For electrician label printing, gloss paper suits a dry, indoor board. Matt paper takes a pen, so you can write dates and initials on site. For anything that could get damp or grubby, such as a garage board, a loft, a meter box on an outside wall or the inside of a van, pick waterproof white polypropylene with a matt laminate.

What we print on them

With electrician label printing, your company name and phone number go on every label, plus a registration or ID number as plain text if you want it. Scheme and trade-body logos are never printed. Labels are a visible record of dates and contacts on the kit. They sit alongside your certificates and test results and never stand in for them.

Signs for the switchroom, and magnets for the van

For commercial jobs, electrician label printing sits alongside voltage and shock warning signs in A4 (210 × 297 mm), A3, A2 or A1 (594 × 841 mm), on 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl. Think Caution 240 Volts on a distribution board, Danger Electric Shock Risk on a plant room door, or Danger Buried Cables on a trench.

On the road, magnetic van signs in A2 and car door magnets in A3 or A2 are made on 900µ magnetic sheeting. On for work, off for the weekend. Cards, invoice books and the rest are in business stationery.
