Custom labels for plumbing trucks and fitting bins

Custom Plumbing Labels

Plumbing parts multiply: every material, size and fitting type needs its own bin. Clear labels on every drawer and shelf keep PEX out of the CPVC bin and get you back on the road faster.

Label by material first, then by fitting

Mixed materials cause most restock errors in a plumbing truck. Label the top level by material (PEX, Copper, PVC, CPVC, ABS, Brass) and use the next level for fitting type (Elbows, Tees, Couplings, Unions). A second set of labels for repair parts (Wax Rings, Flappers, Cartridges, Washers, O-Rings, Supply Lines, Shutoffs) covers the service calls that make up most of the day.

Keep your joining supplies together: Solder, Flux, Teflon Tape, Pipe Dope and Crimp Rings in one labeled drawer means you never leave a job because the tape is in the other truck.

Size is the third level. Put it right on the label (1/2 PEX, 3/4 Copper, 1/2 Elbows) so a 1/2 inch tee never lands in the 3/4 bin during a rushed restock. Labels are 34mm tall and up to 243mm wide, so they suit drawer faces and shelf lips; for a small-parts organizer with dozens of cells, label the case by category and let the cells sort themselves.

Tough enough for a messy trade

Our labels are solid 3D-printed parts with a flat top and white lettering printed as its own color, so there is no ink to smear or paper to soak through. Wet hands and splashes are fine; wipe them down with a damp rag or mild cleaner. They are not rated for submersion, so keep them off anything that sits in standing water. On steel truck shelving and metal drawer cabinets, the exposed N52 magnets hold firm and let you rearrange whenever you change suppliers or stock.

For plastic fitting organizers, aluminum shelving and bin fronts, choose the 3M VHB adhesive backing in the builder. Mind the heat: the labels are PLA and soften around 55 to 60C, so mount them away from where you set down a torch or freshly sweated copper, and keep them off the dashboard.

Color-code by material

Plumbers often already think in colors: red and blue PEX, white PVC, cream CPVC. Use Workshop Red and Cobalt Blue labels to separate hot and cold PEX stock, and Heritage Black for everything else. Each order prints in one color, so place one order per color; each has the 5-label minimum.

Plumbing label sets

Ready-made sets of the words this trade labels most, grouped by where they go. Each set opens in the builder with every label in place; add, remove or retype any of them before you order.
