What customers are saying
See all →“Needed some labels in a specific size to identify links which are not in use. I found the online designer easy to use and the finished product is true to size and they fitted perfectly. Service was prompt and I had them in little time. I’ll be back to for any oddball labelling requirements.”
“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.”
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.
How much do traffolyte labels cost?
Small switchboard circuit labels start around $3 each, a standard 100 × 50 mm main switch label is around $6, and prices drop with quantity. See the traffolyte label prices page for a full size-by-size breakdown, or price your exact label in the designer.
