Compliance labeling that passes the first inspection.
Laser-marked labels, tags, and signage for electrical, mechanical, and safety work — built to the exact article your job gets inspected against, on a substrate that survives the environment you install it in.
Marked to
- NFPA 70E
- NEC 110.16
- ANSI Z535.4
- OSHA 1910.145
- ASME A13.1
- UL 969
- NFPA 99
- MIL-STD-130
The three ways labeling fails
A rejected label is a rejected inspection.
Nobody schedules a re-inspection because the conduit was wrong. They schedule it because the marking was missing, illegible, or incomplete — and every one of those is avoidable at the labeling stage.
Handwritten markings
NEC 110.21(B) requires field-applied hazard markings to meet ANSI Z535.4 and be durable enough for the environment. A Sharpie on a blank sticker is the single most common rejection we hear about.
Sun-bleached labels
A thermal-transfer label on a rooftop disconnect in Central Florida can go unreadable in a single summer. Unreadable is the same as absent when the inspector walks up.
Wrong or missing data
An arc flash label without the working distance, or a panel directory that says “LIGHTS” for six circuits, fails 408.4(A) even though a label is physically present.
The code does not just require that a label exists. It sets requirements for what it says, how legible it is, and how long it has to stay that way. We build to that third requirement as seriously as the first two.
Capabilities
Three trades, one shop.
Most jobs need markings from more than one discipline. Ordering them together means one proof cycle, one lead time, and one box.
Electrical & Arc Flash
Arc flash warning labels built from your incident-energy study, panel directories that survive a decade in a hot electrical room, disconnect and equipment ID, and PV placards.
See what we makeMechanical, HVAC & Plumbing
ASME A13.1 pipe markers in the correct colour and letter height for the pipe diameter, numbered valve tags with matching charts, equipment nameplates, and backflow tags.
See what we makeSafety & OSHA Signage
ANSI Z535.4 signs with the correct signal-word panel and alert symbol, lockout/tagout tags, confined space placards, GHS secondary container labels, and egress marking.

Every field the inspector looks for.
An arc flash label is not a warning sticker — it is a data sheet. NFPA 70E 130.5(H) and NEC 110.16 between them call for specific, equipment-specific values. Leave one off and the label does not do its job.
- Nominal system voltageThe actual voltage of the equipment, not the service.
- Arc flash boundaryThe distance at which incident energy drops to 1.2 cal/cm².
- Incident energy & working distanceOr, alternatively, the arc flash PPE category — but never both on the same label.
- Shock hazard boundariesLimited and restricted approach distances for the voltage present.
- Equipment identification & study dateSo the label can be traced back to the analysis it came from.
The incident energy values come from your engineer’s arc flash analysis. We take that data — a report, an export, or a spreadsheet — and turn it into durable, correctly formatted labels. We do not perform the calculations.

Why CFLS
Built for the way contractors actually work.
Marked, not printed
Laser annealing and etching change the substrate itself. There is no ink to fade, no ribbon to scratch off, and no top layer to peel in the sun.
We read contractor files
Send a panel schedule, an arc flash study export, a valve list, a DWG, or a phone photo of the nameplate. We do the layout work and send back a proof.
Built to the job schedule
Compliance labeling is usually the last item before final inspection. We quote in a business day and hold stock of the substrates we use most.
Reorders stay identical
Every job is archived with its substrate, dimensions, adhesive, and artwork. A reorder in two years matches the first run exactly.
Serialized and variable data
Sequential asset numbers, QR and Data Matrix codes, and per-unit values driven straight from your spreadsheet — no retyping, no transcription errors.
Kitted the way you install
Labels arrive grouped and sequenced by panel, floor, or unit, so the person on the ladder is not sorting a bag of stickers.
Process
Spec to shipped, in four steps.
No account setup, no portal, no minimum. Send what you have and we take it from there.
Send what you have
Drawings, a panel schedule, an arc flash study, a valve list, or photos. If you are not sure what the code requires, describe the equipment and we will tell you.
We engineer the label
We lay out the content, size it to the equipment, and recommend a substrate and adhesive for the actual environment — indoor gear room, rooftop, wash-down, or coastal.
You approve a proof
A dimensioned digital proof comes back before anything is cut. Nothing goes into production until you sign off on the text, size, and material.
Marked, inspected, shipped
Laser-marked, checked against the approved proof for legibility and dimension, then kitted and sequenced so installation is straightforward.
Materials
The substrate is the compliance.
NEC 110.21(B) asks for markings “of sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved.” In Central Florida that environment is UV, afternoon thunderstorms, salt air, and rooftop temperatures — so material selection is not a cosmetic decision.
- Photosensitive anodized aluminumImage sealed beneath the anodic layer. The specification behind MIL-STD-130 asset marking.
- Stainless steel, fiber-laser markedFor wash-down, coastal, and high-temperature equipment.
- Laser-markable polyesterThin, conformable, and available in UL 969 recognized constructions.
- Two-ply engraving stockThe classic valve tag and panel plate — colour-through, so wear does not erase it.
Industries
Who we label for.
If your work gets inspected, permitted, or audited, something on it needs a marking.
Send us the spec. We’ll send back a quote.
Panel schedule, arc flash study, valve list, a photo of the equipment nameplate — whatever you have. We’ll tell you what the code requires, recommend a substrate, and price it.
