The industrial label market consists of sales of industrial labels by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are used to identify equipment and provide visual or textual information regarding use or risks. These are durable and strongly resistant to heat, light, moisture, corrosive solvents, and other environmental factors that can cause labels to fade, crack, rip, or peel. The majority of industrial labeling applications demand long-term legibility in harsh physical environments.
The main types of industrial labels are warning or security labels, branding labels, weatherproof labels, equipment asset tags, and others. The warning labels involve marked and visible safety, and warning labels will keep individuals who are vulnerable aware of the potential hazards, whether they're harmful parts of work equipment or a product itself. The different raw materials include metal labels, plastic or polymer labels, and involve various mechanisms such as pressure-sensitive, glue-applied, heat transfer, and other mechanisms. The different printing technologies include digital printing, lithography, flexography, screen printing, and others and are used in transportation, construction, automotive, consumer durables, and other end-users.
