Why Durability Matters in the Oil & Gas Industry

In the oil and gas industry, equipment and infrastructure are routinely exposed to some of the harshest environmental conditions on the planet.

Despite these challenges, reliable labelling remains absolutely critical. With pipeline networks, pressure vessels, storage tanks, and other infrastructure transporting hazardous hydrocarbon-based materials (including crude oil, diesel, gas, petrol, and kerosene), all assets must be clearly and permanently marked for both safety and operational purposes.

This is integral for:

Safety Compliance: Proper safety signage helps operators identify hazardous areas, ensure correct handling procedures, and meet regulatory standards such as ATEX, ISO, and ANSI. Faded or missing labels risk non-compliance and endanger personnel.

Asset Tracking & Traceability: From valve tags and serial plates to inspection records, clear asset identification supports ongoing maintenance, simplifies audits, and ensures traceability across complex facilities.

At GSM Graphic Arts, our labelling solutions are specifically engineered for durability, whether installed offshore, buried subsea, or exposed to desert sun. That’s why leading oil and gas manufacturers continue to trust our nameplates and signage.

FAQs about our Oil & Gas Labelling:

What materials are used for your oil and gas labels and nameplates?

We primarily use etched 316-grade stainless steel labels for our oil and gas labels. We do offer alternatives such as anodised aluminium, chemical-resistant polyester, and UV-stable polycarbonate which also ensure long-lasting durability in harsh environments.

Are your labels suitable for underwater or subsea applications?

Yes, we manufacture specialised underwater and subsea labels that resist corrosion, pressure, and marine growth, ideal for pipelines, risers, and offshore equipment.

What information can be included on custom nameplates?

We can include serial numbers, QR codes, asset IDs, safety warnings, operational instructions, barcodes, logos, and any other custom text or graphics you require.

What is the typical turnaround time for orders?

Standard orders typically ship within 4 weeks, but expedited services are available depending on the project scope and quantity.
