Each transformer typically has four general groups of labels; Danger or Warning labels, Instructional labels, Voltage labels and Serial Number labels. Fabrico can also produce custom logo or company name labels for use in brand identification or decoration.

Many of the hazards of working on a transformer can be reduced by utilizing the information available on Instructional labels. These types of labels are typically placed on the transformer or cabinet in areas that are clearly visible to qualified persons. These labels should be reviewed prior to examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance of any transformer assembly. Instructional labels can be further customized to include a company name, logo, bar codes or part numbers. Fabrico utilizes a durable vinyl label material with an acrylic adhesive to ensure long term durability and high level of adhesion to epoxy and ceramic-coated surfaces that are often used on transformer units.

Why Use Transformer Danger or Warning Labels?

How Do Instructional Labels Benefit Both Transformer Manufacturers and Users?

Fabrico offers a full

line of transformer

Warning, Instructional,

Voltage and Serial

Number labels in a

variety of sizes, colors

and materials. These

versatile labels are an

essential component

for transformer users

and service personnel

Fabrico, the leader in design and manufacturing services for flexible materials and

advanced assembly, now offers high-quality, durable labels for the three common types of

transformers; liquid filled, dry and instrument. Each transformer typically has four general

groups of labels; Danger or Warning labels, Instructional labels, Voltage labels and Serial

Number labels. Fabrico can also produce custom logo or company name labels for use in

brand identification or decoration. All of these label types may also be useful on power

inverters, power generation and other pieces of industrial equipment.

Unfortunately, transformer accidents can be deadly and are all too common. A poorly marked

transformer cabinet that has been broken open can also be a danger to anyone nearby. Our

transformer Danger or Warning labels are designed to help keep children and others away from

transformers at all times. In addition, Fabrico’s transformer labels with customized company

information and identification codes allow the public to easily contact service personnel to report

this deadly hazard. Finally, because Fabrico transformer labels utilize a durable vinyl material

What is the Benefit of High Strength Adhesives on Transformer Voltage Labels?

Why are Serial Number Labels Important in Transformer Assemblies?

Quality Control

Voltage markers quickly identify high voltage and electrical hazards, as well as

conduits, busways, circuit breakers, switches, fuse boxes, power and distribution

panels and other electrical components. They alert employees to potentially

dangerous machinery or energized equipment. Fabrico provides nearly 400

variations of voltage labels with a polyester face stock and a clear over-laminate

with an acrylic adhesive. The high bonding strength of the adhesive allows for

application to low surface energy materials utilized in transformer coatings

ensuring that these mission critical labels will remain in place.

Transformers occasionally need servicing and, when they do, tracking that

service is vital. Each transformer has a unique Serial Number label, typically

with a barcode for scanning that allows the manufacturer and servicing

agency to track all the critical service information pertaining to that specific

unit. Fabrico can supply blank labels made with the optimal material

and adhesive combination, along with a high resin content ribbon, so

manufacturers can thermal transfer print serialized or consecutively barcoded

labels on-site, on-demand. Fabrico can also preprint the consecutive labels

in a specified number range on polyester labels and over-laminate with a

UV resistant clear poly, providing finished labels with long term durability.

Fabrico offers their design engineering expertise to help customers determine

the specific requirements, select the best materials and adhesives, and choose

the label type, such as pressure-sensitive, that works best for their application

and environment. With the proper combination of those factors, markings and

labels can last for decades even in the harshest conditions, such as chemical

exposure, oily or slick surfaces, and wet or humid conditions. Through the use

of Fabrico’s extensive printing and labeling experience, customers can ensure

their markings and labels will have high bonding strength and durability on

a variety of surfaces, including metals, inert plastic, epoxy, ceramic, etc. With

more than 30 years of materials experience, Fabrico engineers understand the

impact a material selection can have on the overall manufacturing process,

therefore, material systems are designed to optimize production efficiency and

improve overall cost-effectiveness.

With a fully equipped test lab, Fabrico ensures that customer materials meet

designed-in specs before they leave the factory floor, often eliminating the

need to test materials on the customer end. Fabrico uses its laboratory to test

adhesion, tensile, and dielectric strengths, as well as coat weight, resistance,

capacitance, and voltage measurements. Fabrico’s test and measurement

equipment is calibrated annually per the ISO standard.
