When regulatory compliance and quality assurance matter, certification labels from Positive ID Labels deliver the durability and professionalism your business demands. We’ve been manufacturing high-quality labels in Derby for over 20 years, serving industries from manufacturing and healthcare to construction and facilities management as part of our industrial label range.
Our certification labels help you maintain compliance records, track inspections, and demonstrate quality control across your operations. Whether you need PAT test labels, calibration stickers, UKCA marking labels, or custom compliance labels, our fast 3-5 day turnaround ensures you’re never waiting for critical safety documentation.
Why Certification Labels Are Essential for Your Business
Certification labels serve a vital role in workplace safety and regulatory compliance. They provide visible proof that equipment has been tested, inspected, or calibrated to required standards. Without proper certification stickers, businesses risk hefty fines, insurance complications, and serious safety incidents.
Industries rely on these labels for equipment tracking, safety testing records, and quality control documentation. They’re legally required for electrical safety testing, periodic inspections, calibration records, and asset management. Our labels include space for critical information like test dates, inspector signatures, and next inspection due dates.

The pricing is highly competitive and the sales service has been excellent from start to finish.If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to improve the account and invoice management process.

Types of Certification Labels We Manufacture
Our label range covers every compliance requirement across multiple industries:
- Safety Testing Labels – PAT test labels for electrical equipment safety, portable appliance testing records, and safety inspection documentation that meets HSE requirements.
- Quality Control Labels – Quality assurance stickers for manufacturing processes, inspection record labels for production lines, and certification of conformity documentation.
- Calibration Labels – Equipment calibration stickers showing calibration dates and certification expiry, ensuring measurement accuracy across your operations.
- Asset Certification Labels – Pre-printed with barcodes and sequential numbering for asset tracking, perfect for equipment databases and inventory management systems.
- Periodic Inspection Labels – MOT reminder labels, service record stickers, and maintenance schedule documentation for vehicles and machinery.
Materials and Durability for Harsh Environments
Certification labels must withstand challenging conditions. Our polypropylene (PP) labels are waterproof, non-rip, and UV-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor equipment and industrial environments. They remain legible for years, even when exposed to oil, chemicals, and temperature extremes.
We manufacture labels using materials specifically chosen for durability. Standard white PP with a matt finish allows easy writing with permanent markers. For enhanced security, we offer tamper-evident materials that fragment when removal is attempted, providing immediate visual evidence of tampering.
High-tack permanent adhesives ensure your certification stickers stay firmly attached to metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. Once cured, these labels require solvents for removal, preventing accidental loss of critical compliance information.
Digital and Flexographic Printing Options
Our Jetrion 4900 digital printing press produces full-colour labels without expensive printing plates or cutting dies. This UV inkjet technology means faster turnaround times and lower costs for short to medium runs up to 20,000 labels. The integrated laser die-cutting station creates any shape you need without tooling delays.
For larger volumes exceeding 20,000 labels, flexographic printing delivers superior value. Our 6-colour Rotopress handles simpler designs efficiently, while our MPS 350 8-colour UV press produces photo-quality results for more complex labels requiring detailed logos or imagery.
Custom Design and Sequential Numbering
Every business has unique certification requirements. We customize labels to match your specific needs, incorporating company logos, contact information, and compliance standards relevant to your industry. Our free in-house design studio works with you to create professional layouts that meet regulatory requirements.
Sequential numbering and barcoding turn labels into powerful tracking tools. Link each numbered label to your asset management database for instant access to service histories, compliance records, and maintenance schedules. Variable data printing allows us to personalize each certification label with unique identifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are best for outdoor certification labels?
Polypropylene (PP) labels with UV-resistant inks perform best outdoors. They’re waterproof, weather-resistant, and remain readable for years in sun, rain, and temperature extremes. We recommend high-tack permanent adhesive for long-term outdoor applications.
Can you print sequential numbers and barcodes on labels?
Yes, we specialize in variable data printing for certification labels. Sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, and unique identifiers are printed on each label, enabling efficient asset tracking and database integration for compliance management.
How quickly can you deliver labels?
Digital label orders typically deliver within 3-5 working days from our Derby facility. Flexographic orders for larger volumes usually ship within 10-14 working days. Rush services available for urgent compliance requirements.
Are your labels tamper-evident?
We offer several tamper-evident options for labels. Destructible vinyl fragments when removal is attempted, while VOID materials leave a permanent “VOID” pattern. These features prevent unauthorized label transfer and tampering with compliance records.
What size labels do you recommend?
Popular sizes include 38mm x 20mm for compact equipment and 50mm x 25mm for easier writing. We manufacture labels up to 314mm wide and over 300mm long. Size recommendations depend on the information required and application surface.
Can labels withstand chemical exposure?
Yes, polypropylene labels resist oils, mild chemicals, and solvents commonly found in industrial environments. For harsh chemical exposure, we recommend laminated labels with chemical-resistant adhesives and additional protective coatings.
