Brown & White Goods
Labels, Rating Plates & Control Panels for Domestic Appliance Manufacturers
Consumer appliances are judged on appearance as much as performance. The nameplate on a range cooker, the rating label on a washing machine and the control panel overlay on a built-in oven are among the first things a customer sees – and among the last things to be replaced. For brown goods (televisions, audio equipment, small electronics) and white goods (cooking appliances, laundry machines, refrigeration) alike, Lexicraft has supplied trusted labelling and identification solutions to manufacturers across the UK for over 60 years.
Customers including Belling, Stoves, Baxi and Canon rely on Lexicraft for identification products that combine the aesthetic quality demanded by retail channels with the regulatory compliance required for CE and UKCA marking.
Rating Plates & Energy Labels
Every appliance sold in the UK and EU must carry a rating plate declaring electrical characteristics, model identity and manufacturer details in a form that survives the product’s service life. Lexicraft’s custom nameplates are produced in anodised aluminium and printed polyester to the relevant EN standards, with options for self-adhesive, riveted or snap-fit attachment. As energy labelling legislation continues to evolve – with revised EU energy label scales now applying to a widening product range – our team can assist with label layout compliance and reprint scheduling for model year transitions.
Control Panel Overlays & Graphic Interfaces
Front-panel overlays for hobs, ovens, dishwashers and washing machines must be heat-resistant, splash-proof and visually consistent across production batches. Lexicraft’s graphic overlays and control panels are produced in polycarbonate and polyester with hard-coat surface protection, embossed tactile keys and selective adhesive patterns to suit flat-fronted and curved appliance panels. For premium appliance brands where a brushed steel or smoked glass aesthetic is required, we can supply printed metallic substrates and tinted overlays with screen or digital-printed legends.
Domed Badges & Brand Identity
The brand badge on a built-in appliance or audio product is a small but highly visible quality signal to the consumer. Lexicraft’s domed badges provide a premium, three-dimensional finish that resists cleaning chemicals, cooking grease and UV discolouration over a typical appliance service life of ten or more years. Substrate options include standard vinyl, brushed stainless steel effect and chrome-effect materials – presenting the quality of a metal badge at a fraction of the cost. Custom tooling is held on file for repeat orders.
Self-Adhesive Labels for Compliance & Instructions
Instruction labels, warning notices and energy rating labels are produced as custom labels in PVC, polycarbonate or polyester, with sub-surface printing available for applications where the substrate itself provides a protective layer against cleaning agents and surface abrasion. Pressure-sensitive adhesive systems are specified to ensure permanent fixing on the plastics, metals and glass surfaces typical of modern appliance housings.
Spare Parts, Promotional & Aftermarket Decals
The brown and white goods aftermarket and promotional channels require identification products for service packs, replacement components and branded accessories. Lexicraft’s custom decals – produced by screen and digital print with CAD/CAM cutting – are suited to packaging inserts, spare part bags and branded merchandise, with tamper-evident and sequential-numbering options available for components where counterfeit risk is a concern.
