Industrial Warning Metal Labels
Warning text printed or etched onto aluminum or stainless, built to stay legible on a panel or machine guard. Mounts by adhesive or through-hole, depending on the housing.
Description
Warning text on a control panel needs to stay legible for years, not fade like a printed sticker. Himgo produces warning and instruction labels in aluminum or stainless. Printed color or an etched line keeps text and icons visible through handling and cleaning.
Metals & surface options
Screen and UV printing lay down warning colors like red or yellow directly on the metal. Chemical etching is the alternative when the text needs to survive abrasive cleaning. Aluminum at 0.3mm keeps panel labels light; stainless 304 suits areas with regular wash-down. Brushed or matte finish cuts glare so operators read the text from an angle. Mounting holes work for permanent panel warnings; thin 3M adhesive backing suits smooth housings.
Typical projects
- Electrical cabinet warning plates with bolt-through mounting
- Machine guard and pinch-point notices near moving parts
- Control panel hazard labels paired with a model plate
- Chemical or pressure warning tags on tanks and lines
Sizes we run
60x30mm is the common footprint for panel-mounted warnings, with 80x25mm for longer instruction text. 30x30mm suits icon-only warning symbols, and 40x20mm covers a short single-line notice. Himgo also cuts any size to your drawing.
