Many manufacturers apply OEM labels to products as soon as they roll off the assembly line. For over 25 years, our expert staff at Data Graphics has made a variety of OEM labels for many different industries across the United States. Many of them include the aerospace, telecommunications, medical, military and manufacturing industries.
An original equipment manufacturer needs labels to help brand, identify and track the products it produces. There are hundreds of different OEM labels that a company may need. There are logo labels, inventory control labels, caution labels, danger labels, hazard labels, information labels, barcode labels, asset tag labels, serial code labels, and many more.
Branding
When a company makes goods, whether it’s a piece of medical equipment, generator, computer, electronic component or some other widget, they need a way to brand the product. Logo OEM labels are ideal for branding a manufactured product. The logo label often features the name of the company and product model. The logo labels help ingrain the company’s image in the consumer’s mind. When they think of buying a new computer monitor, DVD player or stereo they return to the same company
Safety
OEM labels can help companies identify dangerous areas in the workplace or hazardous areas on the products they manufacture. Whether it’s alerting a consumer to a potential shock hazard or pinch zone on a particular product, labels can help consumers and employees identify those areas to avoid or precautions to take. Some products manufactured in factories like ladders, lawnmowers and electronics require such labels to eliminate liabilities.
Tracking
Companies also use OEM labels to track the products they manufacture. As soon as a product is assembled and heads toward the shipping area, a barcode or serialized label is attached to the product. This allows the company to track the product from the factory, to the warehouse, then to the store where the product is sold. When the store receives the shipment the product is removed from the company’s inventory control system.
There are several different types of materials a company like Data Graphics Inc. can used to make original equipment manufacturer labels. There is polycarbonate, plastic, vinyl, paper, polypropylene, anodized aluminum and many more.
There are also a number of ways to print labels. A company can choose flexographic printing, screen printing, hot stamp printing, thermal transfer printing and digital printing. The printing method will depend on the material you choose for your labels. The folks at Data Graphics Inc can help you decide which material and printing option is best for your company.
