Print Tags

Advantages of lockout tags, hangtags and inspection labels, such as oil change stickers

Increased safety: Clear warnings prevent accidents and machine malfunctions.

Improved traceability: Maintenance and inspection data can be accessed at any time.

Custom design: Signs can be customized and printed according to specific company requirements.

Durability: High-quality materials such as PVC and self-adhesive labels offer resistance to oil, chemicals, UV radiation and extreme temperatures.

Use cases for hang tags/labels and tags

There are different types of tags, each used depending on the application. Here are the main categories:

1. Safety Tags

Warning tags – e.g. “Caution! High voltage”
Hazardous material tags – e.g. “Caution! Chemical storage”
Accident prevention tags – e.g. “Personal protective equipment required”

2. Lockout/Tagout tags (LOTO tags)

"Do not switch on" tags – for machine maintenance
Energy insulation tags – for electrical, mechanical or hydraulic shut-offs
Personal LOTO tags – with the name of the responsible person

3. Inspection and Maintenance Days

Inspection tags – e.g. “Last inspection on: …”
Calibration tags – e.g. “Measuring device calibrated on: …”
Maintenance tags – e.g. “Next maintenance due on: …”
Repair tags – e.g. “Defective – Do not use”

4. Inventory and Logistics Tags

Barcode and QR code tags or RFID – for digital tracking
Warehouse tags – for inventory management
Shipping tags – with shipping information and destination
Identification tags – e.g. “Property of …”

5. Piping and Valve Tags

Medium identification – e.g. “water supply” or “compressed air line”
Flow direction tags – to display flow directions
Valve status tags – e.g. “Valve closed – Do not open”

6. Production and Quality Assurance Days

Release tags – e.g. “Reviewed – Released”
Block tags – e.g. “Rejected – Do not use”
Quality control tags – e.g., “Final inspection passed”

7th Emergency and Rescue Day

First aid tags – for marking medical equipment
Firefighting tags – e.g. “Fire extinguisher inspected on: …”

8. Oil change slip / Oil filter slip

Typical applications of tags

Machine safety in production: Lockout/tagout labels, used as hang tags, prevent accidental activation during maintenance work. Inspection labels document preventive maintenance measures.

Electrical installations: Barrier signs for high-voltage areas prevent unauthorized access. Inspection labels mark inspected electrical components.

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries: Hazardous substance and warning signs secure critical plant areas. Inspection stickers document hygiene checks.

Construction: Scaffolding approvals and test labels for work equipment increase safety.

Logistics & Transport: Inspection stickers for forklifts and trucks ensure regular inspections.

Cars/Trucks/Automotive Repair Shops: Oil change sticker with mileage and logo, here is an example of the content:

Oil change slip / Oil filter slip sample text

OIL CHANGE

COMPANY LOGO or BRAND LOGO of the oil

Date: _______________
Performed by: _______________
Machine/Vehicle: _______________
Location: _______________

Oil level & maintenance

Oil type: _______________
Capacity: _______________ liters

More warning texts for tags as examples

• Attention! Maintenance in progress
• Do not switch on – danger to life
• Machine locked out – maintenance work
• Caution! High voltage
• Authorized personnel only
• Security check required
• Valve closed – Do not operate
• Blocked – Obtain approval first
• Next inspection due on:
• Hazardous substance – Special caution
• Out of service – repair required
• Caution! Hot component

Lockout tags for hydrants and valves

The lockout tag for hydrants and valves is an innovative identification solution for hydrants and valves . This intelligent, optionally digital system enables clear, secure, and simple information display directly at the valve. The tag for natural gas valves is placed directly on the valve and offers a variety of options through various settings. Custom labeling is even possible for orders of 50 units or more. (Not suitable for residential connections.)

Standard texts of the tag for water hydrants and natural gas valves:

Turn the top of the cover cap:

• ON
• TO
• Main line
• DO NOT open

Laterally:

• DO NOT ACTIVATE, Caution: DIALYSIS
• DEFECT_______
• NO extinguishing water
• Flap____turn.
• Linkage defective
• shut down/decommissioned
• Info_________
• ball valve
• Zone slider
• Drain valve
• Measuring zone slider

Additionally, the top cap can be used to store information such as medium, number, or type. Optionally, the cover tag for public hydrants and valves can be equipped with an RFID transponder, allowing easy integration into digital maintenance strategies for pipeline networks. Installation is incredibly simple: connect the components, enter the information, attach it to the valve – done. A loop facilitates removal during maintenance work. The cover tag is available in red, yellow, and blue, suitable for hydrants as well as gas and water lines.

Materials and design options for lockout tags, hangtags and oil tags

Lockout tags, hangtags, oil change stickers and inspection signs are available in various colours, shapes and materials.

The most common material options are:

• PVC (0.5-1 mm thick): Durable and reusable.
• Self-adhesive labels: Easy to apply and removable without leaving residue.
• UV and chemical resistant versions: Ideal for extreme conditions.
• Cardboard: Cost-effective

Colors and designs can be customized, including logos, pictograms and personalized labels.

Conclusion: Have custom tags and hang tags printed for professional applications

Lockout tags, hangtags, oil change stickers, and inspection labels are essential components of effective safety and maintenance management. They help prevent workplace accidents, ensure compliance with legal regulations, and increase the efficiency of operational processes. Thanks to high-quality materials and customization options, they can be easily integrated into any business environment.
