Safety Label & Sign Customization Capabilities
Tailored To Meet Your Needs
If your needs are not met by our stock of standardized U.S. and international safety
labels and safety signs, Clarion's customization services are readily available
to meet your company's requirements. We have designed and manufactured customized
safety labels and signs for tens of thousands of industrial equipment applications.
Typical customization options include:
- Custom symbols to represent hazard description or hazard avoidance information
specific to your product. See below for custom symbol examples. If you don't see what you need, we can design a symbol
to meet your needs
- Additional symbol panels. See
below
for various additional symbol panel options
- Labels translated into various languages as separate safety labels or as bilingual
safety labels. See
below
for the various options available for translated safety labels. Translation fees
may apply
- Different materials including, but not limited to, aluminum, stainless steel,
thick polyester and specialized polycarbonates. See
below
for Clarion's production methods for custom materials
Custom Symbols
Sometimes you may deem it necessary to add additional context to a safety symbol
to enhance the understanding of its safety message. This is where adding more product-related
detail to a symbol comes into play. Clarion has perfected graphical representation
methods using state-of-the-art design software that allows us to efficiently illustrate
your hazard information.
Additional Symbol Panels
Clarion can add additional symbols to your customized safety label design in order
to communicate more information in symbolic form. The first symbol used on a safety
label typically describes the primary hazard. Additional symbols can either describe
additional hazards or describe hazard avoidance information.
Custom Translated Labels
Clarion routinely manufactures foreign language safety labels for its customers.
These illustrations show the most common formatting options
used for foreign language safety labels:
- Add-on safety labels that are placed next to your English safety labels
- Separate complete foreign version
- Bilingual versions that combine the English and foreign language text/signal word panels onto
one safety label
(Note that you may also want to consider using an ISO-formatted
symbol in the symbol panel instead of the non-ISO formatted symbol as shown below.)
Clarion routinely produces foreign language safety labels in small and large quantities.
The following is just a partial list of the languages we are capable of producing
to meet your custom safety label requirements:
- Arabic
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Danish
- Dutch
- English
- Finnish
- French

- German

In short, no language is beyond our capability. Clarion uses the best translation
services available, experts who consider context, the nature of the hazard, and
regional dialects. Translation fees will apply for new translations. If you choose
to provide Clarion with your own translation, we ask that all language text that
utilizes Roman characters be provided to Clarion as a Word document. Non-Roman text
should be provided to Clarion as Adobe Illustrator .ai or .eps files with the text
appearing in "OUTLINE" form (Type Menu/Create Outlines). Typesetting fees
may apply.
Different Materials
Clarion standard safety labels are produced with top-of-the-line premium quality
3M white polyester material. The adhesive is a permanent pressure sensitive acrylic
that has high ratings for adhesion to BOTH low and high energy surfaces (including
powder coated finishes). If your application requires an aluminum base material
or a textured surface such as a velvet polycarbonate, Clarion can produce that as
well. If you need heat resistance beyond the 300°F of our standard polyester,
we can produce anodized aluminum plates for you that use a special hi-temp 3M adhesive
rated to 450°F, with or without holes for mechanical fasteners. You can view Clarion's
or our
