Frequently asked questions
What colours are tearproof tags available in?
Tearproof tags are available in multiple colours to support colour coded safety systems. Common colours include red for danger or defective equipment, yellow for caution or warnings, green for safe or inspected status, blue for information or maintenance, and white for general use or custom printing. Using colour coded tearproof tags improves safety communication as workers instantly recognise tag meaning from a distance. Choose colours that align with Australian standards and your existing workplace safety systems for consistency and better compliance.
Can you write on tearproof tags with regular pens?
Permanent markers work best on tearproof tags and provide long lasting, weather resistant writing. Regular ballpoint pens and pencils do not write well on the synthetic surface as the material is non porous and repels some inks. Use industrial permanent markers, paint markers, or china markers for clear, durable writing that withstands rain and handling. Some tearproof tags come pre printed with checkboxes and fields to minimise handwriting requirements. For professional presentation and maximum durability, thermal transfer printing or laser printing works excellently on tearproof tag materials, making them ideal for pre printed inventory or asset tags.
How long do tearproof tags last in outdoor conditions?
Tearproof tags typically last 12 months or longer in outdoor Australian conditions when properly attached. The synthetic material resists UV degradation, moisture, temperature extremes, and chemical exposure that would destroy paper tags within weeks. However, the actual lifespan depends on specific conditions like direct sun exposure, salt air in coastal areas, and mechanical wear from wind or equipment contact. The writing remains legible throughout the tag's life when using permanent markers or proper printing. For maximum durability, attach tearproof tags with wire or cable ties rather than string, and position them away from direct abrasion points.
Are tearproof tags suitable for chemical environments?
Yes, our tearproof tags excel in chemical environments where paper or card alternatives deteriorate rapidly. The synthetic polyethylene material resists common industrial chemicals including oils, solvents, acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents. This makes our tearproof tags ideal for chemical plants, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance areas where chemical exposure is inevitable. However, extremely aggressive chemicals or prolonged immersion may eventually affect the material or fade printed information. For highly corrosive environments, test our tags with your specific chemicals first, or contact us to discuss specialised options for extreme applications.
What makes tearproof tags different from regular safety tags?
Tearproof tags are made from synthetic polyethylene material that is virtually impossible to tear by hand, unlike paper or cardboard tags. The material resists ripping, puncturing, and fraying even when exposed to rough handling, extreme weather, or chemicals. Regular card tags can tear easily when wet or caught on equipment, but tearproof tags maintain their integrity in harsh conditions. This durability ensures critical safety information remains readable and attached throughout the entire job duration. Tearproof tags are essential for outdoor construction sites, mining operations, and industrial facilities where tags face constant exposure to challenging environments.
