Traffolyte labels are highly regarded for their adaptability and resilience. Composed of multi-layered phenolic plastic, they offer a unique blend of lightness and strength, making them resistant to chemicals, heat, and wear. These labels are particularly well-suited for industries like manufacturing, construction, and engineering, where clear, long-lasting identification is crucial.
At WA Laser, we specialise in Traffolyte engraving and durable plastic labelling that last. Our Traffolyte tags are made with multiple coloured layers, and the engraving exposes the contrast beneath to create markings that stay readable for years. These labels are a common choice for identification plates, safety tags, signage, and equipment marking where clarity and longevity matter.
Traffolyte is a multilayer plastic sheet, with each layer a different colour. During engraving, the machine removes the top layer to reveal the colour underneath, producing crisp, high-contrast text and symbols. The result holds up well to abrasion, solvents, and harsh conditions, so the information stays legible long after other materials fail. Traffolyte suits industrial and commercial uses that need signs, nameplates, and tags built to last.
Typical uses include equipment identification plates, safety and warning tags, and asset labelling. Each of these benefits from the clear, durable finish that Traffolyte provides.

A Traffolyte sheet begins life as several coloured plastic layers, firmly bonded. The engraving machine removes selected areas of the top layer with tight control, exposing the contrasting colour beneath. Depth and finish are important. Correctly set, the engraving resists mechanical wear and chemical exposure, keeping letters, numbers, and logos readable for years.
Traffolyte is ideal for industrial nameplates, control panels, safety signage, and switchboard labelling. It resists heat, solvents, and abrasion, so it performs well in manufacturing plants, mines, and outdoor sites. Other advantages include excellent readability, low maintenance, and the ability to produce detailed graphics and barcodes that remain clear over time.
Traffolyte plastic labels or (WALE) plastic labels are durable, cost-effective labelling solution for a wide range of applications. Available in multiple sizes, colours and finishes, Traffolyte labels suit asset tags, barcode labels and equipment nameplates.
We offer both high‑quality printing and laser engraving options so you can include crisp logos, readable text and machine‑readable barcodes or QR codes.

WALE plastic labels or Traffolyte Plastic labels offer economical labelling without compromising on durability or legibility. You can choose from a broad range of sizes, colours and material finishes to suit asset tags, equipment nameplates and barcode labels. Our production methods include high‑quality printing for full‑colour logos and text, plus laser engraving for permanent, high‑contrast engraved labels and engraved Traffolyte nameplates.
WA Laseruses modern laser systems for Traffolyte engraving and plastic label production, delivering consistent, precise results. Our lasers produce clean edges and high contrast, making them suitable for high-standard industrial identification.

Laser engraving at WA Lasergives clean edges and sharp contrast on every Traffolyte tag and plastic label. That precision allows us to reproduce complex designs and fine details that remain legible during long service life. The process also reduces material waste and supports repeatable quality across production runs.

We offer a wide choice of sizes, colours, fonts, and a library of common symbols. That flexibility helps match labels and plates to operational needs and regulatory requirements. If you have specific artwork, we can work from your files and ensure the final product reflects your branding and functional needs.

Our range includes engraved Traffolyte tags, plastic barcode and asset labels, and equipment nameplates. All products are manufactured to high quality standards, built to withstand environmental challenges while providing clear, reliable identification.
WA Laser’s Traffolyte and plastic labels resist heat, chemicals, abrasion, and UV exposure, so they remain intact and legible where other materials deteriorate. High-contrast engraving supports immediate readability and reduces identification errors.
Our labelling solutions meet the relevant industry and safety requirements for durability and visibility. They perform reliably in heavy industry, mining, manufacturing, and outdoor settings, supporting workplace safety and regulatory needs.
Efficient production and logistics mean you get your custom labels and tags quickly, which helps keep projects on schedule.
For urgent requirements, we provide next-day delivery to major WA freight hubs, including Perth, Karratha, and Newman. Jobs completed before the midday cutoff are dispatched for next-day arrival, while orders finalised after midday are delivered the following day. Our streamlined logistics ensure your materials reach your site without unnecessary delays.
To improve industrial identification with Traffolyte engraving or plastic labels, you can request a quote, upload artwork, or ask for tailored advice. Our Bunbury-based team serves Perth and Western Australia, and we take pride in delivering precise, durable labelling that makes equipment easier to manage and safer to use.

Utilising proprietary software and innovative processes, we have revolutionised the label manufacturing workflow, automating it far beyond industry standards for engraving. This approach minimises the risk of errors while ensuring unmatched consistency and exceptional quality throughout production.

Our Traffolyte labels are expertly laser-etched and cut using advanced CO2 laser technology. This process removes the top layer of the material to reveal a contrasting colour beneath, ensuring clear, precise, and long-lasting results. The labels are then accurately cut to size, providing a clean finish. Designed to withstand demanding environments, our labels maintain their readability and durability over time, making them perfect for industrial applications.

For all our plastic engraving needs, we exclusively use Rowmark’s high-quality materials, including LaserMax® and MetalGraph Plus®. These materials are renowned for their durability, versatility, and superior engraving properties. With a wide range of colours, finishes, and thicknesses along with UV-stable, outdoor-rated options—they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
To ensure lasting performance, we back our sheets with premium adhesive tapes before laser etching and cutting. This process guarantees a secure bond and enhances the durability of the final product.

Traffolyte was originally a brand name for multi-layered phenolic plastic sheets, first manufactured in the UK. It was renowned for its durability and versatility, making it the standard material for industrial labels and signs. However, due to health concerns related to phenolic dust, production ceased. Today, modern alternatives like Rowmark's products have become the industry standard, offering safer and more versatile solutions for engraving needs. Despite the original Traffolyte brand no longer existing, its legacy continues to influence the development of contemporary engraving materials.
