Guidelines to help you design a successful solution.

As a technology leader in engineered solutions, LGInternational’s highly-trained staff has the expertise to translate even the most complex requirements into design, construction and engineering specifications. In order to determine the requirements of a project, a number of questions will need to be addressed. Most of these questions will be answered through:

1. Completion of the Label Checklist with your sales rep
2. Submission of a drawing or blueprint

More complex projects may require additional information gathering, often in combination with an onsite visit, to properly address usage and environmental concerns, such as:

• Extreme temperatures
• Water, humidity and UV exposure
• Caustic chemicals
• Cleanliness and sterility
• Dielectric properties
• Tamper resistance

Submission of Drawing

A key document for engineering and producing a labeling solution is the drawing or blueprint. If you are unable to provide a print, we will create one for your approval. It takes many steps to provide a good product. A document that clearly spells out the final product is critical.

A blueprint should contain the following at a minimum:

• Company name
• Part number
• Current revision level
• Materials and adhesives (if any) callouts
• Dimensions
• Colors
• Corner radius
• Any special instructions
• Special packaging requirements
• Tolerances

Color matching

We use a spectrophotometer to match color. Give us a sample of the color you need and we'll match it. This way, you can custom color match a background color, for example, to blend in with the surface color to which the part is being attached. If you do not need a color match, choosing one of our stock colors can be a cost saver. Your account representative can provide samples of stock colors.

Die cutting and tolerances

LGInternational’s ability to hold tight tolerances is indicative of our refined processes and quality control. The precision LGI delivers is not only expected but required for the nature of the advanced labeling solutions we produce combined with the technical markets we serve. Tighter or more specific tolerances may be defined based on the requirements of each project.
