Switchboard labels
for
Gladstone boards.
A switchboard label identifies a circuit, main switch, or supply on a board — AS/NZS 3000 clause 2.8 requires that identification to be permanent and legible for the life of the installation. RBZ 3D engraves switchboard label sets to order in Townsville, Queensland and delivers them to Gladstone and greater Queensland in 2–4 business days after 1–3 business days production.
Circuit identification, main switch and isolator labels, RCD tags, board schedules and legend cards — engraved by a licensed electrician, priced online, and shipped tracked to Gladstone in 2–4 business days.

Board work in Gladstone
MCC line-ups, plant room boards, and shutdown relabelling.
Gladstone runs plant rooms rather than switchboards in the domestic sense. Alumina refineries, the smelter, and the LNG facilities and their maintenance contractors work with MCC line-ups and switchroom boards where identification follows a documented plant naming convention — and where relabelling almost always happens inside a planned shutdown.
That makes two things matter: matching the convention exactly, and arriving before the crew does. Send the plant's naming format with the schedule and it is engraved to that format rather than to ours. Gladstone is same-state freight — 1–2 business days on tracked post after 1–3 business days production.

See all →“As soon as I had put my order in, Josh was on the phone to me to adjust a few things to make sure it was 100% right. Couldn’t ask for better service and transparency from designing all the way to picking up the labels.”
“Great service and communication”
“Hi recently had solar panels installed, but the installer did a messy job on my switchboard. The moved all the switches around, but didn't move any of the existing labels, and the new labels were just label maker and the terminology was non complaint (failed and Office of the Technical Regulator audit). I took it on myself to get professionally laser cut labels to replace the dodgy label maker/hand written and non-compliant language. RBZ3D was easy to use to make all the labels I need, shipped quick enough, and now the labels look so much better. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Treff labels supplied as requested, great job thank you”
On the escutcheon
The boards we label in Gladstone.
Every set is engraved to your schedule and sorted so it can be fitted in order — one board or a whole site.
MCC line-ups
Bucket, starter, and drive identification across a motor control centre — engraved as one run so a line-up spanning a switchroom wall reads consistently end to end.
Plant room & switchroom boards
Incomer, tie, and feeder identification for refinery, smelter, and LNG facility switchrooms, engraved to the plant's documented naming convention.
Shutdown relabelling sets
Whole-board replacement sets prepared ahead of a planned shutdown, engraved as one run and shipped to site or the contractor's workshop before the window opens.
Contractor-built boards
Escutcheon labels and complete schedules for boards built by Gladstone maintenance contractors, sized to your cutouts and consistent across the build.
Port & terminal boards
Distribution board identification for Port of Gladstone infrastructure and terminal services, engraved for constant sun and salt exposure.

From schedule to escutcheon
Send the schedule. Fit the labels.
Type the schedule, confirm the artwork, and the set is engraved and on its way to Gladstone — one tracked consignment, sorted by board.
1 · Schedule
One row per label
Paste the circuit list into the bulk tool, or send a photo of the board and we transcribe it.
2 · Production
1–3 business days
Engraved to order in Townsville, QLD once the artwork is confirmed.
3 · Tracked post
2–4 business days
typically, to Gladstone after dispatch — tracking number the moment it leaves the bench. Australia Post timeframes are indicative, not guaranteed.
Or · Express
1–2 business days
typically, when a handover, inspection, or shutdown date is fixed. Still Australia Post's network, so it can run long in peak periods.
Or · Priority Air
1–2 business days
StarTrack Premium — the most consistent lane we run to Gladstone. It is the one we reach for when the board is waiting on the labels, though no courier can promise a date.
Standards framing
Straight about what a label can claim.
AS/NZS 3000 clause 2.8 asks that switchboard labelling be permanent, legible for the life of the installation, and clear about which circuit and equipment each label identifies. Engraved traffolyte meets the durability and permanence requirements of that clause, because the text is cut into the material rather than printed onto it — there is no ink to fade and no film to lift.
Solar and battery — the one place testing is required
Solar goes further than AS/NZS 3000. The Clean Energy Council’s Advice on Labelling (Version 2, June 2023) requires any label exposed to direct sunlight to be UV resistant, demonstrated by passing IEC 60068-2-5:2018 — a 720-hour accelerated weathering test.
Section 3.1.1 of that document carries an exception: it does not apply to markings that are physically engraved, embossed or etched with durable markings. Engraving is exempt because the marking is the material — there is no printed surface to fade.
The practical difference: a printed or vinyl label in direct sun needs that test report to show it meets the requirement. An engraved one doesn’t. If your supplier can’t produce the report, you can’t demonstrate the label complies.

- ·That the material is “certified” or “approved”. There is no certification scheme for engraving laminate and no inspector approval scheme for labels. A supplier using those words is selling you a word.
- ·That a label makes an installation compliant. Compliance is the installation, the documentation and the person who signed it — a label is one durable part of that.
- ·What your board should say. Josh holds an electrical licence and is happy to talk it through, but the wording call belongs to whoever is responsible for the job.
Common questions
Quick answers.
Can you engrave MCC labels to our plant's naming convention?
Yes — send the convention or a sample of the existing labels with the schedule and everything is engraved to that format, including field order, abbreviations, and sizing. Reorders pull up the earlier job so a bucket replaced in two years still matches the ones beside it.
How do you handle labels for a Gladstone shutdown?
Order ahead of the window. Production is 1–3 business days once artwork is confirmed and Gladstone is 1–2 business days on tracked post from Townsville, so a set ordered the week before is on site rather than on order. Flag the shutdown date on the Quick Quote form and the run is prioritised.
What does AS/NZS 3000 require on a Gladstone switchboard?
Clause 2.8 of the Wiring Rules deals with identification: switchboard labelling has to be permanent, legible for the life of the installation, and clear about which circuit or equipment each label refers to. Engraved traffolyte satisfies all three by construction — the text is cut into the material rather than printed onto it, so there is nothing to fade, peel, or rub away.
How do I send a whole board schedule?
Use the bulk tool in the Label Designer — one row per label, paste or type the schedule, and every label is priced as you go. If you would rather not type it, send a photo of the board or a copy of the schedule through Quick Quote and it comes back priced within one business day.
Who makes them, and where?
Josh, a licensed electrician, on one CO2 laser in Townsville, Queensland. Every Gladstone order is engraved to order here, checked, and shipped tracked — no outsourcing, no reselling somebody else's labels.
Gladstone board to label?
Send the board schedule.
A photo of the open board, a circuit schedule, or a typed list — send it through and it comes back priced within one business day.
