As well as pre-made tags, we also supply a diverse range of blank tags that are ready for engraving. There are a number of different reasons why blank tags are needed, so we have a selection for you to choose from. Blank tags can be used in a number of different ways, to mark machinery, as key ring tags, valve tags, asset tags, name tags and many more.
They can be used in practically any industry and can be personalised to match many different requirements. We stock brass, steel and aluminium blank tags so you can pick what best suits your requirements, and have them engraved with whatever you need.
All of our blank tags for engraving are top-quality, created to be both highly durable and attractive. We offer a range of different shapes and sizes to fit your needs and even offer a range of colours so that you can differentiate between the tags. Here are some of the blank tags we offer that are appropriate for engraving:
Galvanised Steel Tags
If you need something particularly strong, these tags are very resilient due to their zinc oxide coating. They are resistant to rust, abrasion, immersion in salt water and anti-corrosive. They also last in temperatures of +200c so they are practical in almost every environment. Have them engraved with whatever you require and be assured they will last.
Anodised Aluminium Tags
We have a range of round or square blank tags for engraving. The metal tags can be used to mark machinery as well as a number of other uses. They are particularly versatile as they are corrosive resistant, non-toxic, lightweight and have good thermal and electrical conductivity.
Coloured Aluminium Tags
If you fancy something a bit more diverse or have a number of tags that will need to be easily recognisable, our range of coloured aluminium blank tags are perfect for engraving. Use them for colour-coded identification and have them engraved with whatever you require.
We have a diverse range of tags, labels and signage here at Label Source, and hope we have whatever you require. If you would like to talk to a member of our friendly team and get help choosing products that best suit your needs call us on, 0800 3761 693.
Here at Label Source, we pride ourselves on being able to provide a huge range of signs, stickers, and labels for all occasions. We understand that everyone has different requirements and try to cater for all of these. The range of choice may seem overwhelming, so we’ve created this blog post to explain the various label material types, so you can pick the right label material for your needs.
This general label type is ideal for stationary use or where temporary labels are needed. Cost-effective and reliable, these get the job done. Often used in office environments or for packaging, these are easy to write on and come in a range of designs and colours.
Of course, paper labels will eventually get damaged with wear so if you need something that will last we would recommend looking into more hardy label materials.
These are sturdier and longer lasting than their paper alternative. Self-adhesive vinyl is resistant to liquids and is more difficult to damage. They are ideal for indoor use but can also be used in covered outside areas that do not face particularly harsh elements. Like paper, they can also be printed upon.
Although sturdier than paper, there is a chance that self-adhesive vinyl can wear and begin to un-stick. If you need labels that will constantly face harsher elements or need an outside label that will last, we would advise you to look at a more permanent label material.
We sell an extensive range of aluminium foil labels for a wide range of uses. Unlike some other flimsier label materials, foil can withstand extreme temperatures from minus 45 degrees to up to 130 degrees Celsius. If your labels are to be placed in an environment that exposes them to harsh elements, aluminium foil is a fantastic label material. Unlike general labels, these foil labels won’t become burnt, damaged of unstuck.
These labels use an extremely strong adhesive, so once they are stuck they are incredibly difficult to remove. This is great for permanent labels and makes them very difficult to steal if you are using them on mobile assets. However, if you plan to move your labels often, you should consider a more suitable label material.
If you need any advice about which label material types are best for you requirements, we are more than happy to advise! Just give us a ring on, 0800 3761 693.
Chemicals can be very dangerous, and as with any hazardous item, it's important to label chemicals and other substances clearly so that people can identify possible risks.
For instance, if a substance is highly flammable, you should use the appropriate sign or label to make this clear to all.
What does the law say about labelling hazardous chemicals?
Chemical label requirements vary from one country to the next, but here in Britain, the law is currently based on European Regulation No. 1272/2008 (also known as the CLP regulation - CLP stands for 'classification, labelling and packaging'). In England, Wales and Scotland, this regulation is primarily enforced by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive).
Here's what the HSE website has to say about labelling hazardous chemicals:
"Some chemicals need more careful handling than others. Labels can help you identify the more hazardous chemicals, tell you what the hazards are and how to avoid them...where the supplier does conclude that a chemical could cause harm, they are expected to provide information about this on the label...chemical suppliers must use [specific symbols and warnings] where hazardous properties have been identified."
If you are a supplier/manufacturer of potentially hazardous chemicals, it is your duty to label these goods using the appropriate pictograms. Under the CLP regulation, the UK and all other EU member states use the UN's Globally Harmonised System (GHS) to label hazardous chemicals. Standard GHS labels look like this:
These labels and their symbols are recognised internationally, and so all hazardous substances you supply should feature these pictograms as necessary. GHS classifications are explained here.
(Of course, the law may be subject to change when the UK leaves the European Union in March 2019, but given that the GHS is used all over the world - and not just in the EU - there is a good chance that the requirements for chemical labels in this country will remain more or less the same post-Brexit.

Here at Label Source, we sell a huge variety of chemical hazard labels and signs bearing GHS-compliant pictograms and warnings. No matter what sort of chemicals you need to label, we can provide a suitable solution - click here to browse all chemical labels and signs.
If you are around hazardous materials, it’s important that everything is correctly labelled to ensure everyone’s safety. Luckily, here at Label Source, we have a huge selection of products that enable you to correctly label any chemical.
There are plenty of different reasons why chemicals need labelling, so here are some of the products we offer. We’ll also cover why hazardous chemical labels are important, as well as the laws you need to know. More...
No one likes a bundle of tangled wires. We’ve all frustratingly tried to make sense of what wire is which, and what you can and can’t unplug. Luckily, here at Label Source, we supply various types of labels for electrical wires to avoid this confusion. Read below to find out about what kind of wires we supply.
If you have wires and cables that have been tested, the best way to communicate this is to label them. We have a range of wrap labels, to indicate whether your wires have passed/failed an inspection to those that are no longer in any state to use. These labels are self-adhesive and have printed sections with a clear tail that wraps around themselves protecting the warning.
If you have wires that need labelling for any reason, our identification labels are perfect for any electrical wires. We supply blank labels in diameters of 4mm to 16mm. These labels are available in 5 colours and are self-adhesive with a clear tail that protects whatever you write on the coloured block. It truly is a cost effective way of cable identification.
Wire Markers
If you’re simply looking for self-adhesive wire markers, we can help! Made of flexible polypropylene, we supply these markers feature individual numbers (0-9) and letters (A-Z) so you can label your electrical wires in whatever way is best for you!
If you need any help choosing the right kind of labels or have any further questions we are happy to help! Just give us a ring on 0800 3761 693.
