FAQs

As the labels are engraved they will be legiable for 20+ years. The colours will fade overtime as with all materials. Our material has been tested to ISO standard 4892. It was tested to an equivalent of 5 years of outdoor usage without visual change of product color or surface appearance. This doesn’t mean it won’t last longer but this is what it is tested to.

Explanation of procedure ISO 4892 (international standard)
This part of ISO 4892 specifies procedures whereby material samples are exposed to UV fluorescent lamp radiation,
heat and humidity under controlled conditions. This simulates the weathering effects that occur under real-live
conditions when materials are exposed to UV radiation and weather conditions.
Details of test procedure:
— Artificial weathering of samples with UV fluorescent lamps according to ISO 4892-3
— Method A, Cycle No. 1: Weathering with UVA-340 lamps
— Stress cycle with temperature control by a black panel sensor
— Stress period: 8 h dry, 4 h condensation
— Lamp type: UVA-340 (Type 1A)
— Irradiance: 0.76 W/(m² x nm) (at 340nm)
— Black panel temperature: dry: 60±3°C; condensation: 50±3°C
— Three testing cycles, total testing period: 1200 hours

Our labels and signs are printed using the highest quality UV flatbed printers. The printers are capable of printing on any rigid surface up to 150mm thick. We can print full colour, white for dark substrates and even clear layers enabling embossing, matt or spot gloss finishes.

Our Default Method	Stainless Steel 316	Annealed	25+	Excellent	Excellent	Excellent	Excellent	Moderate	Flat black mark that does not affect or coat the steel provides the longest asset life.
On request	Stainless Steel 316	Marked (CerMark)	10-25+	Excellent	Great	Great	Great	Higher	Matt black mark that is baked onto the stainless. Provides the highest contrasting mark and is suitable for plates larger than 300mm.
On request	Stainless Steel 316	Deep Engrave + Paint Fill	25+	Great	Great	Great	Great	Highest	Engraving will outlast the steel however paint fill can be effected. Due to the deep engrave the structure can be effected.
