Durable Plastic Inspection tags
DURABLE INSPECTION TAGS
Often times people in the fire extinguisher service business have customers who need extinguishers in places that are not dry. Whether this means an industrial space or outdoor inspections altogether, there could be other circumstances where paper tags just don't hold up. Besides water exposure these can include wind, sun exposure. Moisture can wreck paper, making it soggy. Wind can tear paper tags and sun exposure will fade inks.
I have heard from customers looking to save some money, request for Tyvek tags which we do not sell. Still, I have others call in, saying “I tried Tyvek, but it is too flimsy.” All weather yes, Tyvek is great for keeping moisture out of a building. I used to use Tyvek everyday, when I built houses as a general contractor.
PLASTIC TAGS
Outdoor inspections, especially those on portable fire extinguishers, need a sturdy surface to write on or mark. Durable plastic extinguisher tags like ours are made from 0.023 polyethylene plastic. These thicker plastic tags are water resistant, tear resistant and because they are printed with UV-resistant inks, they are fade resistant. Available in many colors (orange, white, red, gray, yellow, green and blue) we have one that is right for your fire extinguisher inspection job.
We have customers using these plastic inspection tags everywhere! They endure the cold climate of the Arctic Ocean in Prudhoe Bay Alaska. They weather the dry arid climate across California, Arizona and New Mexico. Up and down the east coast our tags sustain multiple weather events. Customers in the Gulf Coast love the way our tags hold up. In fact there are few places in the United States and Canada where our tags are not used year in and year out. In fact we have multiple customers using durable inspection tags on more than just fire extinguishers. We sell a number for crane inspections, fire suppression, ladder inspections and sprinkler systems to name a few.
DURABLE OPTIONS
While these plastic tags are rigid enough to attach to your fire extinguisher as is. Most customers, do opt for a metal eyelet. Still others, who use our tags in more industrial settings, prefer metal grommets. How are you going to attach your plastic inspection tags to your equipment? There is a growing demand for pre-wired tags. For this we have reached out to a local non-profit organization. Annually they to help us fulfill orders for over thirty thousand tags with a galvanized wire pre-installed. Want to install the wire yourself, we’ll sell you the wires and put them right in the box before shipping it out.
ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKERS
In recent years we have seen in increase in demand for our adhesive-backed vinyl inspection tags. Our first request was years ago, when we had an extinguisher company supplying extinguishers for use on the railroad. They loved our plastic tags for outdoor inspections but they couldn't find anything strong enough to withstand the constant motion of a train. We printed their inspection tag layout on our outdoor grade vinyl and cut it out like we did his tags with rounded corners. They worked great!
