Switchboard labels
for
Mackay 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 Mackay 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 Mackay in 2–4 business days.

Board work in Mackay
Mine site DBs, transportable switchrooms, and crush-season mill boards.
Mackay works to two calendars. The Bowen Basin runs planned shutdowns, and the sugar mills run the crush — and in both cases the board relabelling is scheduled work with a hard end date, not something anyone wants to discover mid-window. Whole-board sets ordered ahead of a shutdown are the most common Mackay job we run.
The boards themselves are site distribution boards, workshop and wash-bay boards, and mill switchrooms where the identification has to survive steam, cane dust, and washdown. Mackay is same-state freight from Townsville — 1–2 business days on tracked post — so an order placed at the start of a week is generally on site before the end of it.

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 Mackay.
Every set is engraved to your schedule and sorted so it can be fitted in order — one board or a whole site.
Mine site distribution boards
Circuit identification, main switch labels, and board ID tags for Bowen Basin site DBs, workshop boards, and crib and camp infrastructure.
Transportable switchrooms
Incomer, feeder, and isolator identification for containerised switchrooms — engraved labels do not lift off the escutcheon during transport the way adhesive printed labels do.
Mill switchroom boards
Motor, pump, and conveyor circuit identification for crushing-season mill maintenance, engraved to survive steam, cane dust, and washdown.
Shutdown relabelling sets
Whole-board replacement sets engraved as one run and shipped ahead of a planned shutdown — flag the date on the quote and the run is prioritised.
Marina & port boards
Shore power and distribution board identification for Port of Mackay and Whitsunday charter fleet berths, engraved for constant 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 Mackay — 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.

2–4 business days
typically, to Mackay 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.

StarTrack Premium — the most consistent lane we run to Mackay. 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 turn board labels around for a shutdown or crush window?
Yes — order ahead rather than during. Production is 1–3 business days once artwork is confirmed, and Mackay is 1–2 business days on tracked post from Townsville, so a whole-board set ordered at the start of a week is normally on site before the window opens. Flag the date on the quote and the run is prioritised.
Do you label transportable and containerised switchrooms?
Yes. Incomer, feeder, and isolator identification for skid-mounted and containerised switchrooms is regular Bowen Basin work. Engraved labels are mechanically fixed or bonded and do not peel during transport, which is the usual failure mode for printed identification on a switchroom that gets trucked to site.
What does AS/NZS 3000 require on a Mackay 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 Mackay order is engraved to order here, checked, and shipped tracked — no outsourcing, no reselling somebody else's labels.
Mackay 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.
