Built to Code
Compliance-grade engraving. Every code, every job.
Every engraved tag we produce is built to the format, content, and durability requirements of the governing standard. Contractors and facility teams depend on us for identification work that meets code the first time.
NFPA 70E-2024
§130.5(H) Arc Flash Labels
Format and content per NFPA 70E-2024. The 2024 edition added an explicit durability requirement — the label shall be of sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved. Engraved two-ply phenolic is one durable substrate choice, matched to the installation environment at the quote stage.
NEC 2023 §110.16

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147

Industrial identification. Engineered to code.
Engraved phenolic and metal for installation environments where durability matters. Standard formats for NFPA 70E arc flash, NEC electrical panel, ASME A13.1 valve identification, OSHA lockout/tagout, and NEC 690 solar. We're the phenolic tag and label supplier for PG&E's engraved identification work.

Two-ply engraved phenolic in every ANSI safety color. Non-conductive, flame-rated, chemical- and UV-resistant. The material behind our PG&E work.
Electrical Panel Labels
Circuit directories, source-of-supply markings, and disconnect identification. Built to NEC 408.4 and 110.21(B). Never handwritten. Never printed.

Materials
Materials matched to the environment.
Every job is built to the material that survives where the tag will live. From industrial phenolic to specialty metals, we engrave what the environment demands.
Two-Ply Engravable Phenolic
We stock every ANSI safety color — Signal Red, Signal Orange, Signal Yellow — with contrasting cores. Non-conductive, flame-rated, chemical- and UV-resistant. The material behind our PG&E compliance work.
Brass
Naval brass or C260 cartridge brass, fiber laser marked in-house. Traditional for valve tags and equipment identification within LOTO programs. Suitable alloy performs well in most indoor and general atmospheric applications; alloy selection matches your installation environment.
Aluminum
Anodized aluminum in a range of colors including standard hazard categories, plus unfinished stock — fiber laser marked in-house. Lightweight and cost-effective for large-scale facility programs, equipment tags, and asset ID.
Stainless Steel
304 or 316 stainless with laser-bonded marking. Fiber laser processed in-house. Well suited for chloride exposure, sanitation processes, and high-temperature applications where a suitable brass alloy is not preferred.

Common Questions
Straight answers.
How fast can you ship?
Standard orders ship in 24–48 hours after proof approval. Same-day rush is available — call to confirm timing. For inspection deadlines or emergencies, we can go faster on request. All calls answered live in Chico.
Are your compliance labels built to code?
Yes. Every engraved compliance tag is built to the format and content specifications of the governing standard — NFPA 70E for arc flash, NEC for electrical panel labels, ASME A13.1 for valve tags, OSHA 1910.147 for lockout/tagout, and NEC 690 for solar. Compliance responsibility for the finished installation belongs to the equipment owner. Our job is to produce labels that meet the standard when built to your specification.
What materials do you engrave?
Two-ply engravable phenolic in all ANSI safety colors (in stock for your orders), plus brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. Metal marking is done in-house on our fiber laser platform, with a dedicated CO2 laser for phenolic. Custom color combinations available.
Do you have a minimum order size?
Our minimum is one. We produce single-unit orders regularly — replacement tags, spec checks, one-off compliance work. Quantity discounts are available for larger orders, and multi-location programs are a specialty.
Do you provide material samples or spec sheets?
Yes. We can provide physical samples of two-ply engravable phenolic in your specified color combinations. On new orders, our standard workflow is proof or mockup approval before production — you approve the exact layout before we engrave a single piece. Reorders match the approved layout already on file.
Do you work with electrical contractors and integrators?
Extensively. Contractor and integrator work is a core part of our business. We're a referral partner for CED (Consolidated Electrical Distributors) and support the compliance and installation work of regional electrical contractors, panel builders, and general contractors — including Swinerton, Northstate Electric, Agri Electric, United Building Contractors, and Hankins Group.
Do you handle multi-location programs?
Yes. Corporate and multi-location programs are a specialty. Clients include Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Round Table Pizza, and Miracle-Ear. One point of contact, consistent branding, reorder-ready.
Can I get a custom placard for a non-standard application?
Yes. When your durability spec calls for engraved materials, or off-the-shelf formats don't fit the application, we engrave to your exact drawing. Phenolic, brass, aluminum, or stainless steel.
Where do you ship?
Nationwide. We ship compliance tags and corporate name badges to clients across the United States from our Chico, California facility. Local pickup is available for regional buyers.
