| Front
(Main) Labels: Front panel labels on SIXNET products
are reverse printed on the backside of Lexan for maximum durability
and maintenance of the excellent flammability and safety rating
of SIXNET products. There are basically two types of labels. I/O
modules have “slip in” labels that sandwich between
the two halves of the module casing. These optionally can be a
single piece Lexan label, or they can be a paper label that is
sandwiched between a clear (outside for protection) and red (inside
for LED lens) layer of polycarbonate plastic. The latter can be
printed by yourself on a standard printer. If you wish to create
your own labels for small quantity requirements, SIXNET will gladly
supply the clear and red plastic lens for your use. This self-service
approach requires no special permission from SIXNET and no added
fees.
Labels
adhered to the face of products such as modems, Ethernet Switches
and controllers, must be printed on a durable material. Paper
labels will not comply with established requirements such as CE.
For these labels and for higher volume I/O module products, SIXNET
will procure pre-printed Lexan labels for OEM customers at our
direct purchase cost. (We do not mark up this cost.) We do ask
however, that this cost be pre-paid for the quantity of labels
that you wish to print. Generally, it is most economical to print
a significant quantity of labels (plan ahead) since most of the
costs are tooling costs and set-up rather than unit costs of the
individual labels. The printing cost for an OEM label, complete
with tooling and setup costs typically is US$800 to US$1200. The
cost varies with the particular product and the complexity of
the artwork (more colors – higher cost). Usually the labels
are printed as several images to a panel, so if you are creating
multiple labels of the same size and shape (example, several different
I/O modules), then four labels can be printed for almost the cost
of one.
Ratings
(Rear) or Module Door (Wiring Guide) Labels:
These labels are generally one color (black on white)
or two colors (black on gray) and are printed on a coated label
stock. The typical printing cost for 500 or 1000 piece spools
of these labels costs around US$100. SIXNET maintains requirements
for manufacturing data on these labels. Customer supplied artwork
is subject to SIXNET approval.
