In-line capabilities are ideal for multi-step applications that require laminating, rotary die-cutting, or sheeting. Combining printing processes with other manufacturing steps reduces set-up time and production costs. Printing Capabilities Fabrico works with pressure-sensitive and non-pressure-sensitive materials. Materials include both pressure-sensitive and non-pressure-sensitive varieties, with applications ranging from tamper-evident labels for the medical market to high durability labels for harsh environments. In-line capabilities are ideal for multi-step applications. Fabrico offers a broad range of printing capabilities, from simple one-color applications to intricate, multi-color designs. State-of-theart equipment enables multi-step manufacturing, optimizing efficiency and minimizing production costs. Strategic alliances with world-class vendors support an extensive selection of innovative materials. ISO-9001:2008 processes ensure high quality of output.

These components require voltage labels. Fabrico, along with our parent company, EIS, has provided ABB in Pinetops, North Carolina with UL certification voltage labels for a variety of products. Materials Expertise With unmatched materials expertise and an extensive supplier network, Fabrico often discovers materials that exceed specifications and provide unexpected cost savings. For example, while sourcing UL voltage labels for ABB, Fabrico discovered that the original supplier of the UL labels substituted labels with a vinyl face stock to cut cost. The result would have been labels that survived only 2 years – not the required 10. Fabrico provides ABB with nearly 400 variations of voltage labels for instrument transformers. Now Fabrico provides nearly 400 variations of voltage labels with a polyester face stock and Tedlar overlam with an acrylic adhesive. The high bonding strength of the adhesive allows for application to epoxy and urethane surfaces. Fabrico also sheets and stacks the labels in bundles of of innovative 100 for delivery to ABB. In addition to complete quality control, Fabrico has long standing relationships with world-class providers materials. These relationships ensure the widest selectionthe of correctly materialsspecified at the labels also deliver a cost savings of 20-30%. Materials lowest cost. The following materials may be used in Fabrico’s printing processes: Inventory Management Fabrico streamlines inventory replenishment with its Automated Inventory Pressure-sensitive and Pressure-sensitive and (AIMS). Using AIMS, ABB’s purchasing group ensures Management System that they are automatically re-supplied with the necessary labels as needed. non-pressure-sensitive papers: non-pressure-sensitive films: 3M™ Avery Dennison® DuPont® Nomex® MacTac Raflatac™ Spinnaker Coating The system accounts for labels as they are used within ABB’s various 3M™ departments and automatically reorders as they reach levels set by ABB. Avery Dennison DuPont Kapton® DuPont Teijin® Flexcon ITW Formex Fabrico is able to deliver a cost savings of 20-30% on ABB labels. The labels use a high bonding strength adhesive for application to epoxy and ceramic-coated surfaces. Knowing When to Use Fabrico’s Printing Services Q) Do you need a variety of file prep options?
