Why do some of your safety labels have black text on a white background, while others have white text on a black background?

Where can I get information on your material specs?
Clarion standard labels are composed of premium materials. For more information about our standard labels, go to About Our Safety Labels . For more information about our other materials, go to Customization Capabilities.
My safety label has to be able to withstand extreme conditions. Can you help me?
Our "standard" material is a 3M white polyester that is rated to 300°F! This is really an exceptional material. Heat resistance has as much to do with the adhesive as it does the base material when you get up into temperatures over 200°F. Vinyl and polycarbonate safety labels are typically rated to 180°F. If you need to have safety labels that resist over 300°F, ask us about our anodized aluminum plates with a 3M adhesive that can withstand even higher temperatures. Other materials can also be ordered including aluminum and stainless steel plates.
What is a 'harmonized' safety label format?
Harmonized labels incorporate one or more ISO-formatted symbols in the symbol panel(s) of an ANSI Z535.4 label. For more information, click here.
How will the Clarion harmonized label design change to incorporate the new ISO 3864-2 standard?
Effective November 1st, 2004, Clarion Safety Systems (Clarion) will update all harmonized safety label signal word (DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION) designs to automatically incorporate the new standard – Graphical symbols – safety colours and safety signs – Part 2: design principles for product safety labels. Please refer to the illustration below for examples of the new designs. All "non-harmonized" designs will remain the same.
Signal word panels (hazard severity panels) incorporating the new yellow safety alert symbol.
Clarion is committed to providing our customers with safety labeling that meets the most current standards and to provide guidance and information to help our customers make informed decisions.
For additional information on the ISO 3864-2 standard and the safety alert symbol design please read our whitepaper discussion by clicking here or going to the "Resources" section to access the white paper discussion in the "Labeling Documents" section which includes our library of white paper labeling resource documents.
Can Clarion handle translations?
Yes! We handle translations on a daily basis. We work with Parenty-Reitmeier to obtain your translations. As an alternative you can work with them directly and supply Clarion with your translation.
