Quality Control Labels
Quality control (QC) labels are made for recording critical information and measurements regarding calibration, maintenance, inventory, and quality control. These QC stickers can also denote the operating and inspection status of industrial equipment, devices, parts, and products. The labels from LEM Products, Inc. are ideal for original equipment manufacturers (OEM), maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products, and water utility safety identification products.
Our pre-printed labels have a variety of legends including, ACCEPTED, CALIBRATION, TESTED, INSPECTED, SHELF LIFE, REJECTED, REWORK, SERVICED, and many more. There are also spaces for handwritten information, such as CHECKED BY, DATE, DUE, REASON, INITIALS, and more. We proudly offer quality control labels in different sizes, shapes, and options. It’s important to note that these labels are for indoor use only.

How Do I Choose the Best QC Label for My Needs?
When you’re looking into investing in quality control stickers, you will need to consider a few factors, including:
- The label’s adhesive properties: Since control labels are frequently replaced as the process progresses or is repeated, you need stickers that feature a temporary adhesive that stays in place for as long as you need but can also be easily peeled off at the appropriate time.
- The label’s size: Make sure you choose QC stickers that are large enough to display any necessary information and catch technicians’ eyes at a glance.
- The label’s ability to withstand heat: If your labels have not been designed for use with warm equipment, the label could fade, losing all of your crucial information. You will also want to make sure the sticker’s adhesive can withstand the temperature of the equipment and will not lose its stickiness.
- The label’s security features: If it’s crucial that your quality control labels remain in place, you will want to choose tamper-proof stickers so that you know immediately if someone tried to mess with them.
