Wire labelling services

Control Wire Labelling

Control wiring / Labelling Panel wiring is surprisingly time-consuming to produce.
It involves cutting a wire of the right length, colour and cross sectional area, stripping the insulation, fitting bootlace ferrules, printing labels, fitting the labels into sleeves, fitting the sleeves onto the wire etc.
This can easily take 1.5-2 minutes per wire. Studies show that this adds up to well over $3 per wire in labour and material cost.
Also it requires a large stock of consumables and specialised printing and crimping tools.
We offer the customer the option of outsourcing this tedious part of the job. The benefits to the customer are:
  • Save money: Due to volume and the efficiency of specialisation we aim to offer the product at better quality and less cost than what the customer can typically do it for themselves.
  • Advanced features: We can combine several data elements on the same label (say wire number AND terminal number)
  • Save time through multi-tasking: We can prepare the wiring while customer is building the panel.
  • No need to tie up money in large stock of wire, labels etc. Only pay for what you use.
  • No cost of wasted consumables (we wear the cost of rework due to incorrect printer settings, broken ribbons, misalignment etc.)
  • Happy end-users through faster turnaround.
  • Profitability: Higher throughput in workshop.
  • Better utilisation of staff’s skills (i.e. skilled electricians are not tied up doing trivial labelling work).
  • Faster termination: Wires can be delivered in looms with wires pre-sorted and spaced to match terminal strips and will ‘slot in’ nicely.
  • We use standard commercially available materials so you can easily change or add to it on-site without it looking out of place.
The detailed information required for the job may either be provided directly by the customer, or can be extracted by us from your schematics and layout drawing.
Naturally if we have produced the drawings for you, then this process will already be half done, and there is a time and cost saving to you.


In addition to wire markers we can make labels for just about anything else: Equipment tag labels, Customised rating plates, Cable tags, you name it.
We use the Brady labelling material and thermal transfer printers.
Refer www.bradyaust.com.au for the full range of printable labels, and refer to the the attached list of material currently stocked by us.
Label and wire stock list


The selection of stocked material will grow over time as demand dictates.
Any material not stocked by us can be brought in especially , in return for a small stocking fee.
The benefit to the customer is the same as mentioned above: only pay for the small amount you use, rather than a whole box of labels that may never be used again..
