Industrial signage
Locate, identify, and indicate areas, risks, information, and regulations in industrial environments.
Industrial signage includes all visible elements, often standardized by law or codes, used to designate environments, spaces, hazards, or general information within potentially demanding technical settings. All industries are mandated to display technical and safety signage.
Permanent signage marking ensures enduring legibility over time, ensuring optimal safety for all workers.
Gravotech offers comprehensive industrial signage solutions, including engraving machines, materials, and accessories, designed to withstand harsh conditions and meet stringent requirements.

Our solutions for industrial signage
Our laser machines are quick and easy to operate. They are compatible with various laser sources depending on your requirements.
We recommend using a CO2 source for plastic marking and foil signage, and a fiber source for engraving metal plates. Please note that the fiber laser source does not support cutting operations.

Our rotary engraving and cutting machines represent the standard technology for metal-based signs.
They are the optimal solution for conducting deep engravings that endure over time and withstand harsh environments.
These versatile industrial machines can engrave and cut without constant supervision. Please note that the marking result may lack contrast.
Our extensive selection of engraving materials provides compatibility with industrial environments, as well as a vast array of color combinations to meet diverse needs.
We offer a wide choice of material thicknesses (from 0.025 to 10mm) and constitution (foil, ABS, PMMA, aluminum, brass, rubber).
Our industrial-grade engraving materials boast technical features for longevity, including UV, abrasion and chemicals resistance.
Additionally, we offer specialized ranges tailored to specific applications:
- Gravoxal and Durablack are ideal for applications requiring metal panels.
- Gravostrat and Gravoply 3C comply with current regulations.
- Flexilase, Gravofoil, or Stickalase are designed for labeling curved surfaces.
Nota Bene:
In industrial environments, it is sometimes necessary to prove certain technical characteristics or that the product used complies with certain regulations.

Which applications in industrial signage?
Area identification labels play a crucial role in guiding employees by clearly identifying the different places or spaces.
Work areas, storage facilities, safety zones… Area identification labels are essential for efficient navigation, ensuring operational effectiveness both indoors and outdoors.
Our Gravoply Laser range is ideal for these applications, with a strong contrast and resist to chemical cleaning product.
Discover Gravoply™ Laser
Create warning and prevention signs to meet normative requirements. These requirements often use standardized pictograms, colors, and shapes to convey important safety information effectively.
Whether it's indicating hazards, emergency procedures, or mandatory safety measures, warning and prevention signage plays a critical role in maintaining workplace safety standards.
Gravoply™ 3C has been specially designed with its 3 layers for the production of danger and warning signs.
Discover Gravoply 3C
Cables & pipes labels clearly mark the nature of liquids and materials circulating within networks.
By providing accurate and precise labeling, industries can effectively mitigate risks and enhance overall productivity.
The implementation of comprehensive signage solutions facilitates easier maintenance and troubleshooting processes, streamlining operations and minimizing downtime.
When it comes to identifying valves and taps, it's more often appropriate to use labels and tokens suspended from a chain.
These products are available in our consumables catalog.
Designed to identify technical elements in industrial environments, ID labels and tags have to fit perfectly into their environment: in dimensions, weight and fastening. They also have to hold up to certain conditions: resistance to UV rays, solvents, abrasion and impact.
Despite all these potential attacks, they must remain clearly legible in all situations. Laser or mechanical engraving is the ideal solution to ensure perfect information legibility and long durability of the tag.
Made from plastic, aluminum, anodized aluminum or stainless steel, ID tags and labels are used in the automotive, aerospace, IT or even telecom sectors.
Informative signs & technical plans help identifying various technical elements within storage or production environments, such as inventory labels and technical synoptics.
Informative signs and technical plans ensure clarity and efficiency in industrial operations by providing detailed information about inventory items, equipment specifications, or production processes.
Responding to regulatory & environmental constraints
Engraving materials colors
Gravotech's materials are meticulously designed to align with regulatory standards and codified colors, ensuring compliance with industry requirements.
For instance, our Flexilase™ sign material is specifically crafted to meet the European CPL law, making it an ideal choice for pipe identification applications.
Adhering to prescribed usage colors also helps maintain clarity and readability of information.
If you require other color combinations, please contact us to request our on-demand color service.
Harsh environments
Signage materials must be carefully chosen, especially in harsh environments.
- Choose non-flammable materials in environments with a fire hazard, such as Gravostrat™;
- Select lightweight signage materials for aerospace applications;
- Opt for chemical and solvent-resistant engraving materials for industries with high levels of contamination;
- Finally, choose materials resistant to weather conditions (such as wind, UV radiation, or salty air) for outdoor signage.
For example, nuclear power plants, railway rolling stocks and submarines are among the most demanding environments in which Gravotech materials are used.
Gravotech's tips and advice
Even untreated metals, like anodized aluminum, can be effectively marked using a CO2 laser in combination with specially formulated colorants such as Metal Marker G or Cermark.
This offers a practical solution, particularly for occasional needs, as a single machine can address a wide range of requirements.

Most of our engraving materials can be ordered with an adhesive or even magnetic backing to facilitate the installation of signs made with them.
But sometimes, especially in industrial environments, it's not always easy to mount with adhesive or magnetic backing.
We offer a wide range of alternative fastening methods for signs, labels or tokens, whether permanent or temporary:
- ball chains
- S-shaped key-rings or rings
- plate holders for pipes
- hose clamps
All these fastening solutions are available in our Consumables catalog.
