Service contractors (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, facilities) use labels as operational tools: asset tracking, safety, inspection reminders, and service scheduling. The label has to survive vans, basements, heat, dust, and cleaning.
Fast quote: tell us where the label goes (surface), what it’s exposed to, and whether you need variable data (serials, dates, QR codes).
Common contractor label types
- Equipment ID: model/serial, asset numbers, QR codes
- Service reminders: filter changes, inspection dates, next visit
- Safety + compliance: warnings, disconnect labels, procedure reminders
- Customer retention: branded service stickers (clean, readable, durable)
What kills contractor labels
| Problem | Why it happens | Better direction |
|---|---|---|
| Labels peel off metal/powder coat | Wrong adhesive for surface energy/texture | Match adhesive to surface + temp |
| Text becomes unreadable | Scuffing/abrasion + low-protection finish | Choose scuff-resistant finish |
| Labels deform near heat | Material not suited to exposure | Spec for heat profile (see high-temp guide) |
Variable data (if you need it)
If you need unique serials, dates, or QR codes, we can scope variable data printing so each label is unique while keeping layout consistent.
