What customers are saying
See all →“Easiest way I have found to get labels made. Very reasonable pricing and delivered in under a week. Definitely be using them in the future.”

What it is
Two layers. One permanent label.
Traffolyte is engraving laminate — a thin colour cap bonded permanently to a contrasting core. When a laser cuts through the cap, the core shows through. The text isn't printed, isn't stuck on. It's the actual physical structure of the material.
Ink can fade. Adhesive vinyl can peel. Engraved traffolyte can't — there's nothing to remove. UV stable, heat resistant, electrically non-conductive, accepted by every Australian electrical inspector.
- ·Permanent — won't fade, peel, or rub off
- ·UV stable for outdoor switchboards and solar tags
- ·Self-extinguishing in electrical applications
- ·Cuts cleanly into any shape — rectangles, circles, custom outlines

Common questions
Quick answers.
What is traffolyte?
Traffolyte is a multi-layered engraving laminate. When the top colour layer is laser engraved, the contrasting core underneath is revealed, producing permanent text. It has been the Australian industry standard for engraved labels and signs since 1927.
Is traffolyte the same as engraving laminate?
Yes. Traffolyte is the trade name in Australia for what's generically called engraving laminate or two-ply engraving plastic. The terms are used interchangeably.
What's the difference between a traffolyte label and a traffolyte sign?
Same material, same construction — the difference is just size and use. A switchboard circuit ID is usually called a label. A larger PV warning, valve tag, or door sign is usually called a sign. We make both at any dimension.
How durable are traffolyte labels?
Extremely. The engraving is physically carved into the material — it can't fade, peel, or rub off. UV stable, heat resistant, chemically resistant, electrically non-conductive. Labels last decades indoors and outdoors.
What thickness should I choose?
0.8mm is most common for switchboard circuit labels. 1.6mm gives extra rigidity for larger signs, valve tags, and equipment plates. We default to 1.6mm unless you specify otherwise.
Can I order traffolyte online?
Yes. Use the Label Designer to choose colour, size, text, and shape (rectangle, rounded, circle, oval, tombstone) and get an instant price. No minimum order — order one or order a thousand.
