How to order UL Compliant Labels

Here at Label-Aid Systems, we are experienced experts at providing all of your UL compliant labelsWe are part of the UL Authorized Label Suppliers Program (PGAA), which gives you the confidence that all of our label materials and constructions (adhesives, base materials, laminations, inks, and ribbons) have been submitted to UL for evaluation and meet or exceed UL’s permanence of marking requirements. This allows our customers to display safety information that is required for their end products or simply the UL reference or certification marks on their products, and know that the label will adhere permanently.

Label materials and constructions that are used to manufacture labels for you have been tested in accordance with UL 969, “Marking & Labeling Systems”. This gives you a high level of confidence that the label will adhere permanently to your product, and be resistant to a wide variety of conditions such as humidity, occasional high temperatures, water, sunlight, chemicals and other varying environmental conditions.

What is a UL Approved Label?

UL Recognized Component Labels are labels that have met a permanence of marking criteria via testing (UL 969) to remain affixed to UL end-products permanently. Many UL Listed end-products require warnings, cautions, electrical ratings, installation information, and other types of safety-related information which are permanently affixed to the UL end-product. What is considered is how well the label construction will permanently adhere to the UL end-product given the application surface, temperature, indoor/outdoor use, and other additional conditions like the presence of cooking oil, gasoline, etc.
