Traffolyte Valve Tags & Identification Plates

Durable, precise, and permanent identification for industrial pipelines and machinery. Ensuring the correct identification of valves, pipes, and assets is not just about organisation – it is a critical safety requirement. At Premier Engraving, we specialise in the manufacture of high-quality engraved tags and labels suited for the harshest industrial environments.We work with premium engraving laminates including Traffolyte, Gravoply, Rowmark, Suregrave, and Abet. Whether you need a single replacement tag or a run of 10,000 sequential valve markers, we deliver with precision and speed.

Material Options and Specifications

We supply tags in a variety of materials to suit your specific temperature and chemical resistance needs:

• Traffolyte (Phenolic Laminate): The industry standard for electrical and heating engineers. Rigid, durable, and heat-resistant. Available in 1.5mm (1/16″) or 3.0mm (1/8″) thicknesses.
• Metal Tags: For environments requiring extreme durability, we offer Brass, Stainless Steel, and Anodised Aluminium. These can be mechanically engraved, chemically etched, or stamped.
• Finishing: Metal tags can be left natural or traditionally infilled with black paint for high-contrast legibility.

Customisation: Any Shape, Any Language

We do not rely on standard “off-the-shelf” sizes alone. We can cut and engrave to your exact specification.

• Profiles: Standard Discs, Squares, Rectangles, Triangles, Hexagons, or Octagons.
• Double-Sided: We can engrave information on both sides of the tag (e.g., Valve Number on front, “Normally Closed” on back).
• Multi-Lingual and Export: We are specialists in engraving foreign languages for international projects. We efficiently arrange shipping and export for clients requiring multi-lingual machinery labelling.

Applications and Industries

Our identification plates are trusted across the FM (Facilities Management) sector, including:

Valve Identification Charts and Flow Diagrams

When you use numbered valve tags to identify pipework, engraved valve charts are the ideal way to provide a complete description of what each valve controls. These charts serve as vital visual aids for maintenance, emergency procedures, or system shutdowns.

• System Schmatics: We produce custom-engineered flow diagrams in Traffolyte or Stainless Steel to illustrate and manage complex fluid or gas systems.
• Detailed Information: Charts can display valve sizes, purposes, and exact locations within the plant, including electrical system data.
• Durability: These diagrams allow for clear marking of flow directions and system zones that will not fade or peel over time.

Fixings and Accessories

A tag is useless if it cannot be attached securely. We supply a full range of fixing options to ensure your ID plates stay in place:

• Ball Chain: Nickel-plated or Stainless Steel ball chains and connectors.
• Wire and Crimps: Steel wire ropes and crimping ferrules (crimping tools also available).
• Adhesive: High-strength industrial adhesive backing for flat surface application.
