Anybody print UL labels?

You don't need NO stink-en UL approval and certification, just go to Brand of the World, download the UL circle logo, use it as your own art, print the labels and call yourself a UL approved label shop, right?

OK, it's been a long time since I seriously considered getting listed (I looked at UL and I think there was an alternative too)
and as I recall for sign manufacturing I thought they gave you the pre-numbered labels? Maybe I had that wrong as I didn't follow through and started purchasing my UL boxes wholesale.

They typically charge pennies for UL labels

For example, they charge $25 for this decal

I am confused.....more so than usual....time for another beer!

You better pray that the guys from ul and the inspectors in the town you are pulling your permits aren't reading this

The only listing labels you can print yourself for your signs is if your using a MET labs sign shop....and not a UL sign shop....UL makes you pay for everything....

You are not getting screwed by pricing if you agreed to the price in the first place! i really get tired of every Tom, Dick and Customer complain about prices. You can always say "No" but for gosh sake, don't complain. And then there are those who say "Well I can do THAT myself a lot cheaper"

Right, go ahead then!

I am sure they don't like it when people question them on their prices.

Cripes!

UL labels all have a serial number on them that needs to be accounted for in your paperwork. There are many types of labels - sections signs, indoor, and outdoor, restored, etc. The labels are not really that expensive if you order them in bulk since its mostly a processing fee. You are also required to have a shop label with contact info and space to add electrical info for each sign.

UL is not a government agency and copying their labels is not illegal but totally not cool for those of us who go through the process of being UL approved. Of course the fact that your thinking about working around the system says a lot about your company and work. You may also get your ars sued big time for it. We only have a few municipalities who really ask or require signs be listed but most malls or property management companies want it - even if they don't understand why.

I personally think the whole thing is a joke but we play along so we can get the work we are after. I hear good things about MET and may be checking them out next renewal period.
