Did You Know? — The Importance of UL Labels
Did you know that UL-certified labels play a vital role in ensuring products meet global safety and compliance requirements? For many industries — including electronics, industrial equipment, medical technology and consumer goods — UL labels are not simply a formality; they are an essential part of regulatory approval and market access.
That’s why PrintMedia is proud to be a trusted global partner for UL-approved labelling solutions.
As a leading one-stop-shop for everything labelling and barcoding, we provide complete, end-to-end solutions — from material selection and design to durability testing and compliance support. Our team works closely with customers to ensure every label performs reliably, even in demanding environments.
And of course, our commitment goes beyond supplying products. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding service and long-term partnership, helping brands across the world improve traceability, safety and operational efficiency.
