Graphic Products is excited to announce two of the latest labeling supplies designed for use with DuraLabel printers. Embossable Poly Supply (Metallized) and Nylon Label Supply. Compatible with the DuraLabel PRO, DuraLabel PRO 300, DuraLabel 7000, and the DuraLabel 4TTP, each of the two supplies is available in a wide variety of colors.

Here is a quick intro to two of the newest supplies (for detailed info, click on supply name):

Embossable Poly Supply (Metallized)
Write whatever you desire directly onto the supply with a standard ballpoint pen. With Embossable Poly Supply, don't worry, what you write is not permanent. Simply erase it, and then rewrite it. A 6.0-mil silver film coating also makes this a professional metallized supply.

Uses: inspection labels, security labels, Kanban cards, and anything else for which you'd like to have the flexibility of rewriting labels.

Nylon Label Supply
Uneven, bended, and wrinkly surfaces need apply! With Nylon Label Supply, printed information is not easily distorted, and labels are designed to stay attached. The topcoat is protected from cracking, making labels even more flexible.

Uses: wires, garment care, rubber moldings, and many otheruneven and difficult surfaces.

It's official. Graphic Products is now a dealer of three battery-powered, handheld labelers from Brother^®. The three printers include the Brother P-touch EDGE^™ PT-7600, the P-touch EDGE^™PT-7500, and the P-touch PT-7100.

Two printer models, the PT-7600 and the PT-7500, models are branded as P-touch EDGE^™ labelers. The P-touch EDGE^™ PT-7600 has one nice advantage: it connects to computers for downloading label templates, company logos, and other graphics onto the printer. Both models print on five different tape widths: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1”. Notable features of the PT-7600/PT-7500 include:

• Large 62 point print size
• Prints up to 2 lines of text and graphics
• 164 industrial symbols

The third handheld printer, the P-touch PT-7100, prints on four tape widths: 9/64", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". Notable features of the PT-7100 include:

• Uses up to 24 point print size
• Prints up to 7 lines of text and graphics
• Built-in library of 107 industrial symbols

The Brother^® handheld label printers are good for printing on really small tape widths, so they effectively create smaller labels like wire markers and cable markers. Of course, for printed labels up to 2" in width, then you must check out the new DuraLabel 2000 Handheld Label Printer.

"Now that is way easier!"

That's what I said the first time I designed a two-inch label using a DuraLabel 2000 immediately after I designed the same exact two-inch label using a Brady HandiMark. But what's the difference?

With the DuraLabel 2000, a new handheld label printer, there is one feature (among many) that makes it stand out from other handheld label printers: the auto-size feature for text and images.

The auto-size feature on the DuraLabel 2000 exists to simplify and quicken the label designing process. Auto-size automatically adjusts the size of the text and images to fill the entire label area (whether the label consists of one line or many lines). With auto-size enabled on the DuraLabel 2000, the need to manually input the size for each line on a label is eliminated, allowing the user to by-pass an exhaustive and unnecessary ‘guess-and-check’ sizing process often required when designing labels with other printers such as the HandiMark. No matter what size of supply is used, the DuraLabel 2000 recognizes the supply size once it's loaded and automatically auto-sizes inputted text and images so you don't have to.

With the DuraLabel 2000, simply type in the label's message and then hit "PRINT." It's simple, and the label design process is much faster. The result is a nice, bold, readable label!

With innovation in full view, Graphic Products, Inc. officially launched its new Custom Label Service, an online service for designing and ordering custom labels 24-7.

Custom Label Service gives customers—especially those who may not have the capabilities with their current in-house printer—the flexibility to create custom labels according to their needs by providing a number of online tools meant to simplify the label designing and ordering process.

Four different label types are available to choose from: three-color, three-year indoor labels; three-color, five-year indoor/outdoor labels; two-color, five-year indoor/outdoor labels; and two-color custom labels.

Once your label type is selected, the Label Designer Control Panel takes customers through five simple steps to design custom labels.

1. Choose Label Design (six types of common headers: danger, warning, caution, notice, safety, and biohazard)
2. Choose Label Size
3. Input Text (sliders adjust size, alignment, and text boundary box)
   
4. Choose a Symbol
5. Adjust Symbol (sliders adjust size and alignment)

When a label design is submitted through the Custom Label Service, orders are delivered to the customer's door generally within 2-4 business days.

According to the National Safety Council, approximately 12,000 accidental deaths occur each year due to injuries sustained because of a fall. While the most important issue here is lives lost, another issue is the associated economic loss for not only families of fall victims but for organizations.

But there is hope. With the right preparedness, most of these cases can be avoided.

An article entitled "Prevention of Slips, Trips, and Falls" in the April 2008 issue of Facility Safety Management magazine references the Canadian Centre for Occupational Safety and Health, which suggests three general ways to avoid slips, trips, and falls from happening:

• Understand how fall accidents happen
• Identify trouble areas
• Eliminate or minimize hazards of falling

The article goes on to give specific examples and provide more detail, but by simply applying proper safety signs and labels to areas and surfaces where these types of accidents occur, many of these types of accidents can be prevented.

DuraLabel offers many supply options to assist you in safeguarding your employees from slips, trips, and falls. And secondly, DuraLabel wants to prevent your organization from suffering economically as a result of this type of tragedy.

Effective label and sign-making supplies for preventing slips, trips, and falls include:

• DuraTag Supply (as shown in the "CAUTION: Slippery When Wet" sign above)
• Phosphorescent Supply (for emergency backup when light sources fail)
• Continuous Vinyl Supply (for general safety label and sign-making tasks)
