Frequently Asked Questions
What are self-laminating tags and how do they work?
Self-laminating tags have a write-on panel and a clear film overlay. After marking, you fold the laminate over the text to seal it, protecting data from abrasion, oils, and moisture on cables, tools, and equipment.
Do self-laminating tags resist moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure?
Yes – when made from vinyl/polyester with UV-stable laminate. A sealed self-laminating tag resists water, many solvents, and sunlight; durability varies by material and adhesive. Check the product datasheet for specific ratings.
Are self-laminating safety tags OSHA compliant and when should I use them?
A tag is not “OSHA compliant” by itself. Compliance depends on use, wording, and program (e.g., LOTO per 29 CFR 1910.147). Use self-laminating tags for durable identification, inspection records, and warnings; follow site procedures.
