        2 Mil UL® Recognized White Polyester w/ Clear Overlam

        SafetySign.com is always looking for ways to provide customers with better signage options. To provide you with labels that last longer in harsh environments, we manufacture UL® Recognized polyester labels.

        These UL® Recognized labels are superior to other labels because they perform better and last longer in tough environments.

        Material Service Temperatures Lifespan
        UL® Recognized Polyester -40°F to 302°F 5-8 years
        Basic vinyl material 40°F to 180°F 3-4 years

        These labels have a service temperature range of -40°F to 302°F and an outdoor durability of 5 to 8 years. They resist extreme heat, chemicals, and abrasion. Most of our selection of machine safety labels meet these standards.

        These qualities outperform the basic adhesive vinyl labels produced by some manufacturers. Those labels have a service temperature range of up to 180°F and will only last outside for 3 or 4 years.

        Non UL® Recognized labels cannot withstand the same type of chemical or abrasion exposure that a UL® Recognized polyester label can.

        By using UL® Recognized polyester labels for your needs, you are ensuring that you will have a label that will last and won’t need to be replaced as often as those from other manufacturers.
