Engraved Identification Label
What are Traffolyte labels used for?
Traffolyte and engraved laminate labels are widely used where clear and durable identification is required. Typical applications include electrical panels, distribution boards, equipment identification, control panels, cable and service references, room identification and MEP project tags. For project work, the final wording, colour, dimensions and fixing method should follow the approved drawing, BOQ, tag schedule or specification.
What is Traffolyte engraving?
Traffolyte engraving is commonly used to create clear, permanent-looking identification labels with contrasting engraved text. In Abu Dhabi projects, these labels are frequently requested for electrical panels, distribution boards, equipment, control systems and building-services identification.
The advantage of an engraved laminate is that the lettering is created by removing the upper surface layer to reveal a contrasting colour underneath. This makes the wording clear and easy to identify without relying only on surface printing.
Panel Identification
Distribution boards, MDBs, SMDBs, switchgear, isolators and control panels.
Equipment Tags
Pumps, AHUs, FCUs, plant equipment and other MEP assets.
Technical Labels
