CAUTION CONTAINS PCBs LABELS
Walking through an electrical room and spotting an old transformer with no marking — then wondering if it contains PCBs — is a familiar scene for facility managers. The Anobell Caution Contains PCBs Labels are built to make that status visible, permanently, right on the equipment.
One label, all the required information, no handwritten notes that wash off or fade. The yellow caution header catches the eye from across the room. When the equipment moves or changes hands, peel and replace — the next item gets a clean warning record.
WHY IT MATTERS
A missing PCB tag doesn't just mean a paperwork gap — it means a transformer or capacitor that contains a toxic environmental contaminant might get handled, moved, or disposed of without proper precautions. A permanent label on the equipment means the hazard status travels with the item. Not on a clipboard that gets left in the office. Not on a whiteboard that gets erased at shift change.
The pre-printed reference also means less variation between technicians. The same format every time — no guessing what information goes where.
MATERIAL REALITY
These are coated paper, not vinyl. Built for indoor electrical rooms and storage areas — dry, climate-controlled environments where the label stays protected. Not for outdoor storage exposed to rain, direct sun, or freezing temps. If the transformer lives outside, this isn't the right material.
What coated paper does well: takes ballpoint without beading, and the writing stays legible for months indoors. When the equipment is decommissioned, the adhesive releases cleanly from metal and plastic surfaces — no sticky residue left behind.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Clean the equipment surface first. Dust, grease, or oil residue weakens the bond — wipe it down before applying. Press firmly from the center outward to push out air bubbles. Once it's down, it stays.
For curved drum surfaces, apply to a flat area if possible. A little wrinkling at the edges won't affect readability.
WHO USES THESE
EHS coordinators marking transformers and capacitors for disposal. Facility managers tracking PCB-containing equipment through decommissioning. Utility companies managing aging electrical infrastructure. Waste management companies receiving PCB materials for transport. Demolition contractors identifying hazardous materials on job sites.
If you're writing "CONTAINS PCBs" on masking tape stuck to the transformer — this replaces that.
