Why Gravoply™ Labels Are the Modern Replacement for Traffolyte Labels

Engraved labels for electrical panels, where to begin when deciding a substrate? For years, Traffolyte labels were the standard for industrial engraving, widely used by electrical companies and OEM manufacturers for their durability and practicality. However, modern materials like Gravoply™ and Rowmark™ have now taken the lead, offering better performance, precision, and flexibility.

If you’re looking for engraved labels that last longer, look better, and offer more customisation options, here’s why Gravoply™ is the material you need.

Gravoply™ vs. Traffolyte: What Sets Them Apart?

While Traffolyte is a rigid phenolic laminate with chemical resistance, it has significant limitations:

UV Instability: Traffolyte fades and delaminates when exposed to sunlight, making it less reliable for outdoor use.
Limited Precision: Traffolyte struggles with detailed engraving, like small lettering, barcodes, or QR codes.
Restricted Colours: Available in only a small range of standard colours.

In contrast, Gravoply™ labels excel in all these areas:

Weather Resistance: Gravoply™ is UV-stable and weatherproof, ideal for outdoor environments.
High Precision: Laser engraving on Gravoply™ allows intricate details, perfect for compliance labels and branding.
Versatility: With a wide range of colours, finishes (matte, glossy, and non-glare), and the ability to be shaped, Gravoply™ offers endless customization.

Applications for Gravoply™ Labels

Gravoply labels are ideal for:

Electrical Labels: Durable and precise, perfect for high-voltage environments.
Safety Signage: Long-lasting labels for compliance and warning signs.
Equipment Tags: Custom engraved labels for OEM machinery.
Industrial Control Panels: Clean, professional designs for industrial environments.

The Benefits of Upgrading to Gravoply

Switching to Gravoply™ engraved labels not only ensures better durability but also enhances the visual appeal and functionality of your labels. With superior engraving precision and a longer lifespan, Gravoply is a cost-effective choice for industries that value quality and compliance.

Fantastic service and results from Andrews signs & Engravers, I had a memorial plaque designed and made by them for our village playground which was perfect. I then had another engraved plaque made which was done on the same day as it was a rush job and they delivered. I would like to thank the staff for their help and professionalism, I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. They are perfectionists and always ready to help, their customer service is second to none. The prices are affordable which is an added bonus, thank you!

Love to Eat York hosted its first external stall last weekend. I needed a table cover printed.... and fast! I contacted the team at Andrews who quickly obliged. I've already washed the tablecloth and its great. I sourced my own cloth to speed up the process. They turned it around very quickly. Thanks so much. I'll send photos but we didn't get many as we were so busy!!.highly recommend and super friendly service. Always try to use local services where possible. x

I recently purchased a pop up banner for my business. The service was fantastic, swift and very professional. The banner comes in a heavy duty bag for protection and easy to carry. Thank you so much.
