Create Engraved Electrical Panel Labels and ID Plates
When a label is missing or needs to be changed, engrave a replacement in-house and get the panel properly identified without turning a simple task into a nuisance and a long delay.
We have standard plates for most models of Schneider/Square D, Eaton/Cutler-Hammer, Siemens, ABB/GE, Leviton electric boxes. We can create custom plates for you to engrave, or you can profile engrave your own.
ID Plates that Convey the Entire Message
This Allen-Bradley emergency-stop box is marked so the operator does not have to interpret the control or trace the installation. The Emergency Stop plate identifies the function, while the CONVEYOR 3 tag ties the station to the equipment it serves.
With Scott engraving equipment, that kind of permanent identification can be made in-house as the need appears.
Exactly worded ID plates -- No Guesswork
This Schneider control box shows the value of labeling each control at the point where the decision is made. The operator sees which vibrator is selected, which jog button applies, and whether both units are on.
The result is a cleaner control station with less guessing, especially after equipment changes or service work.
Engraved Legend Plates for Greasy Gloves!
Instead of relying on tape or decals that can lift at the edges, these durable engraved plates fit securely around switches and pushbuttons and hold up in the kind of environments where gloves, repeated use, and daily maintenance are part of the work.
From a single word like “START” to a serial number or a more detailed control legend, our industrial-strength plastic plates are made to suit the job and the equipment.
We manufacture standard blank or lettered legend plates in a wide range of colors and sizes, along with custom shapes, here in our upstate NY factory -- since 1962!
Helpful Tips When Labeling Electrical Panels
Keep it clear: Use labels that tell the next person exactly what each circuit serves.
Be specific: “Kitchen counter receptacles” is more useful than “outlets.”
Make it readable: A good panel label should be easy to read - use a simple font at a suitable size.
Update changes: When a circuit is changed, update the label before the job is forgotten.
Mark spares: Unused breaker positions should be identified so no one has to guess later.
See NEC® 408.4(A) for circuit directory and circuit identification details.
