If you've gone to the trouble of labelling your equipment properly, the last thing you want is for someone to come along and tear those labels off. It's irritating, but more importantly, it makes your items far harder to identify in the event of loss or theft.

Thank goodness, then, for tamper-proof labels! If you want to prevent people from removing your labels, these high-security stickers are the perfect choice, because they are impossible to remove cleanly.

We sell a range of high-quality tamper-proof labels for a variety of purposes. These include:

• Tamper Evident Barcode Labels
• Tamper Proof Calibration Labels
• Tamper Evident Serial Number Labels
• Industrial Grade Laser Labels (Tamper Evident)
• Thermal Transfer Labels (Tamper Evident)

There are two different types of tamper-resistant labels: some, like our tamper-proof calibration labels, will fragment and tear into small pieces if somebody attempts to remove them; others, like our 'tamper evident' range, will leave behind a pattern if they are peeled away (see image above).

No matter what kind of tamper-proof labels you are looking for, Label Source can help! If you can't find what you need, give us a call on 0800 3761 693.

Waste segregation signs can be used to identify and segregate items within your waste stream management programme. There are various different signs to help clearly identify diverse forms of waste. These signs can inform your staff of the correct handling, collection and disposal of various waste types. 

Hazardous toxic signs must be displayed to collect and re-processing of waste, which is dangerous to humans and animals, and a threat to the environment. This waste is usually chemical by-products, in liquid, solid or sludge form, which can contain a range of harmful components including heavy metals, halogens, dioxins, asbestos, PCB's, pesticides, or cleaning fluids. If released they can cause illness, death, or pollution to air, land or water. 

Radioactive waste must be displayed to identify waste materials contaminated with low level radiation, such as clothing, tools, filters, plastics, metals or glass, which has been exposed to low level radioactive materials. 

Here at Label Source we supply a range of signs in sizes medium and large, identifying various different waste, including; domestic waste, non-hazardous general waste, hazardous waste, toxic waste, radioactive waste, clinical waste, food waste, confidential waste, landfill, recyclable solids, recyclable liquids, contaminated solids and liquids. This clear identification of waste by category can enable safe handling, and correct disposal. Part of our environmental sign range.

If you need these signs made up for your own special requirements , Label Source can help you with that!

If you are looking for barcode labels, we at Labels Source will be more than happy to help you out. We stock a comprehensive selection of barcode labels to fit a range of different purposes and platforms – and we can deliver these to you in sheets, rolls, and have either variable or static number sequences available too.

When you select your barcodes, you can choose whether you wish to have the prefix and suffix details included or not. We also give you the option of having increasing or decreasing sequences on the consecutively-numbered stickers.

Some of the barcode labels we sell are:

Scanmark – General self-adhesive vinyl labels.

Scanmark Plus – Polyester labels that work in high temperatures.

Scanmark Destructible – Security labels that fracture when tampered with.

Scanmark Tamper Evident – Secure labels that leave a trace when removed.

Scanmark Economy – Laminated paper stickers for more affordable identification.

Scanmark Foil – Aluminium labels for both outdoors and indoors.

Barcode labels are mainly used for identifying products, tracking assets, traceability, controlling stock, and for guarantees/warranties. As well as having all the properties mentioned above, all of our labels are also smudge, chemical, and abrasion-resistant – so when you’ve stuck them down, the chances are they’re staying put.

Deciding on which products will need PAT test labels needn't be as daunting as you imagine. The legislation states that any portable appliance needs testing: all equipment not part of a fixed installation but that's intended to be connected to one counts as a portable appliance. If your appliance requires a plug, uses a flexible cable, and is intended for use at a generator or plug socket it counts as a portable appliance.

Such items that could require PAT test labels include: kettles, toasters, monitors, printers, vending machines, photocopiers etc. Take a slightly miscellaneous item like a power drill, the drill itself would not need testing but the charging dock would. IT equipment should be thoroughly tested, and this includes the power cords for all equipment too which should be tested separately as they are held to different standards. Extensions cables are also notoriously hazardous so are some of the most frequently tested of equipment.

When you do find yourself in a position where you need to purchase PAT test labels you can guess where sells them, can't you? Here at Label Source we offer a wide range of PAT test labels and stickers that ensure all of your tested equipment is adequately labelled!

It is common knowledge that electricity can be dangerous, but the hazards are multiplied when the electrical supply is high voltage. Direct contact with, or being in close proximity of, high voltage infrastructure can pose potential health threats.

Accidents involving sources of high voltage electricity can range from death through electrocution, to electric shock injuries from electrical arcs, internal flash burns, flame burns from ignition of clothing, or injuries from losing body control and falling off equipment.

The overwhelming majority of accidents occur when installing, operating, repairing, inspecting or maintaining power generating plants, power transmission equipment (both overhead power lines or underground cables), at substations, on electrified rail networks, or at oil and gas facilities.

However, the minority can be linked to contact with overhead lines by ladders, antenna, cranes and telescopic overhead plant during construction or maintenance, tree trimming or clearance, and even entangled lines from anglers. Other problem areas are excavations, tunnelling, and mining, when underground electrical cables are damaged or sheared.

Label Source has a range of products to clearly mark dangers from high voltage electrical supply. These can include signs to identify electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, pylons and towers warning of high voltage and danger of death; signs for the mandatory use of protective equipment and safety wear such as hard hats, gloves and rubber soled boot; labels for operating instructions on equipment for termination, cable jointing, pressure testing and fault location; calibration labelling on test instrumentation; and signs and underground warning tapes for buried power cables.

So together using our products we can provide guidance and information to make operating with, and near, high voltage generating and distribution equipment a much safer environment.
