Traffolyte and impact acrylic look similar but perform very differently. Compare heat resistance, durability, appearance and cost to specify the right material.

Why engraved traffolyte labels are widely used across food manufacturing, supporting hygiene standards, equipment identification, maintenance efficiency and long-term reliability.

When people picture a solar farm, they normally think about rows of panels stretching across a field. What they don’t usually think about is the amount of electrical infrastructure sitting behind those panels, and how much of it relies on clear identification once the site is operational.

Traffolyte labels turn up on almost every electrical panel, valve system, and piece of industrial equipment in the UK. Most people who work with them know what they look like and what they do. Fewer know what the material actually is, where it came from, or why it has stayed the go-to choice in industrial labelling for the better part of a century.

Learn when to specify traffolyte labels inside electrical control panels, recommended thickness, character sizes, sequencing tips, and how to avoid common panel labelling mistakes during installation.

Traffolyte valve tags have been around for a long time for a reason. Not because they’re clever but because they tend to keep doing the job when other options slowly stop.

Walk up to any electrical control panel in a UK industrial facility and you'll almost certainly find traffolyte labels on it. Circuit identification, isolator markings, warning notices, engraved laminate has been the standard for decades.

Traffolyte labels have been a standard across UK electrical and industrial infrastructure since the late 1920s because their performance characteristics genuinely suit the demands of long-term industrial identification.

HV and LV switchgear signage and labelling should be planned early, delivered accurately, and updated quickly when changes occur. This significantly reduces commissioning delays, supports first-pass inspection, and improves overall project handover.

This particular metal engraving Birmingham project was for a new client of ours.

It's no secret that we are in really trying times - understatement of the year. It is affecting us all in business and at home. It can be hard to stay positive whilst hearing all the doom and gloom we are subjected to everyday. It isn't just new businesses that are feeling the pressure. The advantage that older businesses have is experience, having made it through previous tough spells and an existing loyal customer base.

We are delighted to share this retail engraving case study for Edge Retail in Leicester. They've been neighbours of ours for many years and we love to support them with their retail engraving requirement.In Leicester there is a very large industry built around Point of Sale (POS) and Retail Displays. We've been very proud of some of the projects we've been involved in for various local companies. Supporting clients with retail engraving is so challenging and rewarding. We've pushed boundaries of what is possible on many occasions.Sometimes it can be a new material we have never engraved before. Other times its the complex nature of the design that the designer, and often the end client has their heart set upon. Usually its the tight turnaround required so they can get their install done on time.
