What do I need to request a quote for custom safety labels?

At minimum: what the label says, its size, the material, the quantity and where it ships (country and ZIP or postal code). Symbols, language, artwork and a needed-by date make the quote faster and more accurate.

What artwork file format is best?

A vector file: PDF with live or outlined text, AI, EPS or SVG. High-resolution PNG, JPG or TIFF also work when vector art is not available; the quote form accepts these, plus DXF, up to 5 files of 10 MB each.

Will I see a proof before printing?

Yes, for custom and made-to-order labels. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and your approval confirms the wording, symbols, colors, size and layout.

Do you check my label for compliance?

No. We print what you specify and approve. Deciding which hazards need labels, what they say, and whether they satisfy OSHA, ANSI, ISO or other requirements is your responsibility, as our terms explain.

How do I reorder the same label?

Send the part number from your quote or invoice with the quantity you need. The part number stays the same, so the reorder matches the label you approved before.

Can I order labels for several sites or split shipments?

Yes. List each ship-to location and the quantity for each in the quote notes, and the quote will reflect the split.

Do I need a wholesale account to order?

No. Anyone buying for a business can request a quote. A wholesale account is for distributors, OEMs and multi-site teams that order regularly.

How to Order Custom Safety Labels Wholesale

Ordering custom safety labels goes fastest when the first request has everything needed to price and proof the job. This guide lists what to send, which artwork files print cleanly, how proofs work, and how to reorder later without starting over. It applies to custom labels, signs and tags requested through the quote form or the label builder.

Three ways to start

From the catalog: add stock or customizable products to your quote list, change sizes or wording in the notes, and send.
From the label builder: pick a signal word, symbol, message, size, stock, quantity and language, preview the label, and add it to a quote.
From your own drawings or part list: paste your part numbers and quantities into the quote form and attach your artwork or label drawings.

What to include in a quote request

Item	What to send	Why it matters
Label type	Product safety label, facility sign, tag, nameplate, pipe marker, etc.	Sets the format, stock and finishing options
Wording	The exact text, line by line, including the signal word	We print the text as supplied, so final wording avoids rework
Symbols	The symbol you want, or its ISO 7010 reference code	Lets the proof match your specification
Size	Width and height, in inches or millimeters, and corner style	Drives layout, letter height and price
Material	Your preferred stock, or the surface and environment if you are unsure	Durability depends on the stock, laminate and adhesive
Quantity	Per design, plus any price breaks you want to compare	Price per piece depends on quantity
Language	English only, or bilingual with the full translation supplied	Changes the layout; translations are printed as you supply them
Artwork	Logos, existing label drawings, photos of labels to match	Speeds up the proof and avoids redrawing
Ship-to	Country and ZIP or postal code for each destination	Needed to quote shipping and taxes
Needed-by date	The date the labels must arrive	Lets us tell you up front whether the date can work

Also mention anything special: serial numbers or barcodes, hole punches, kits of mixed labels for one machine, split shipments to several sites, or a tax exemption certificate.

Wording and content: decide before you order

We print labels; we do not decide what a label should say. Settle the hazard, signal word, message and symbols first, based on your risk assessment, product standards and regulations. These guides can help with the format:ANSI Z535 labels,choosing a signal word andISO 7010 symbols. For material choice, seechoosing label materials and thematerials page.

Artwork files that print well

The quote form accepts PDF, AI, EPS, SVG, DXF, PNG, JPG and TIFF files, up to 5 files of 10 MB each. Some formats give much better results than others:

Best: vector files. PDF, AI, EPS or SVG keep edges sharp at any size. Outline the fonts, or include them, so the text does not change on another computer.
Good: high-resolution images. PNG, JPG or TIFF at around 300 pixels per inch at the final print size. A logo copied from a website is usually too small.
Usable for reference: photos of an existing label, taken straight on and in good light, with a ruler in the frame. Simple labels can often be redrawn from a good photo, and you check the result on the proof.
Colors: if your brand or label colors are specified (for example as Pantone references), say so. Safety colors such as DANGER red and WARNING orange are set by the format.
Drawings: label drawings with dimensions, tolerances and a revision letter are ideal for OEM orders.

How proofs work

You send the request; we reply with a quote and, for custom work, a proof.
Check the proof carefully: every word and number, spelling, symbols, colors, size, layout and any translation.
Ask for any changes you need. Each revision comes back as a new proof.
Approve the proof in writing. Nothing is printed until you do.
The labels are produced from the proof you approved.

Your approval confirms that the content is correct, so have the person responsible for the label's content (often the safety, engineering or compliance lead) review it. Colors on screen are approximate. Ourterms and conditions explain proofs and approvals in full.

What slows a quote down

Draft wording. If the text is still being reviewed internally, every change means a new proof. Send final wording when you can.
Missing sizes or quantities. Without them a quote can only be a range. If you are unsure, give your best estimate and ask for two or three quantity options.
Low-resolution logos. A blurry logo has to be redrawn or replaced before it can print sharply.
Unclear environment. "Outdoor" covers a lot. Say what the label is exposed to and what surface it goes on.
Translations to follow. A bilingual label cannot be proofed until both languages are final.

Reordering by part number

Products and custom designs are identified by a part number on your quote and invoice. To reorder, add the part number and quantity to the quote list, or paste a whole list in the form "part number, quantity", one per line. Because the part number points to the approved design, the reorder matches the previous labels. If you need a change, say so; a changed design gets a new proof and, usually, a new part number or revision, so old and new versions are not mixed.

Tips for repeat buyers:

Keep a list that maps your internal part numbers to ours.
Record the revision you approved for each label.
Reorder before stock runs out, especially for labels tied to production.

Wholesale accounts

Distributors, resellers, contractors and companies that buy labels regularly can apply for awholesale account. Ordering works the same way: quotes, proofs and part numbers. See theordering questions page for payment, tax and shipping questions.
