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.

Custom Safety Symbols

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. Note that whereas other manufacturers charge for additional cost of adding colors, Clarion does NOT CHARGE for the additional safety colors used on your safety label.

Custom Safety Label

Custom Translated Labels

Clarion routinely manufactures foreign language safety labels for its customers. The illustrations shown on this page shows you the most common formatting options used for foreign language safety labels: Add-on safety labels that are placed next to your English safety labels, completely separate foreign versions, or 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:

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's standard safety labels are produced on the top-of-the-line premium quality 3M white polyester material with a permanent pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive 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, and/or with holes for mechanical fasteners. You can view Clarions label materials or our sign materials specification sheets or you may Contact Clarion to ask about any material requirement you might have.
