PGJI - UL-Certified Printing Materials

PGJI2 – USA: Marking and Labeling Systems – Printing Materials according to ANSI/UL 969

PGJI8 – Canada: Marking and Labeling Systems – Printing Materials according to CSA C22.2 No. 0.15

This distinguishes between the regulatory testing standards of the US and Canadian markets.

Concrete material suitability is always governed by the specific material system, imprinting method, ribbon formulation, and operating conditions defined in the UL certificate.

PGJI Printing Materials are ideal for:

• Technical product identification and rating plates
• Type and performance rating labels
• Serial numbering and component identification
• Barcode, QR, and DataMatrix asset tracking
• Variable production batch and lot tracking
• Electrical appliances and electronic assemblies
• Industrial machinery and commercial components
• Markings individualized directly on the client's manufacturing line

Depending on application, various material constructions are available:

• White polyester (gloss or matte finish)
• Silver matte polyester (metallic nameplate appearance)
• Ultra-clear transparent films
• High-tack acrylic adhesive systems for smooth, textured, or curved surfaces
• Optional protective over-laminates

Selection is determined by substrate surface energy, operating temperature range, mechanical scuffing, chemical exposure, and the designated thermal transfer printer.

UL recognition always applies strictly to the tested, matched system. The following parameters must be aligned:

• Base substrate material
• Adhesive formulation
• Printing technology (thermal transfer)
• Printing ink / thermal transfer ribbon model
• Application surface (metal, plastic, powder coat)
• Operational temperature range
• Conditions of Acceptability (CoA)

Not every printer ribbon is automatically approved for every PGJI substrate.

We assist you in selecting and certifying the exact matched combination of label stock and ribbon for trouble-free UL audit acceptance.
