1. Overview

Labels, signs, barriers, and identification tags are critical components for information transmission, safety compliance, and asset management across industries. These elements ensure operational efficiency, regulatory adherence, and risk mitigation through visual communication, physical separation, and electronic identification. Modern advancements integrate smart technologies, enhancing durability, readability, and data connectivity.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Features	Application Examples
Safety Labels	Chemical/puncture resistance, UV stability	Warning labels on industrial machinery
Digital Signs	LED/LCD displays, programmable content	Dynamic pricing in retail stores
Physical Barriers	High-impact polymers, modular assembly	Construction site perimeter protection
RFID Tags	Contactless data transfer, unique ID encoding	Inventory tracking in logistics

3. Structure and Components

Typical construction includes:

Labels: Substrate (paper/plastic/metal) + adhesive layer + protective coating
Signs: Housing frame + illumination components (LED) + graphic panel
Barriers: Core material (ABS/polycarbonate) + support posts + connectors
Identification Tags: Microchip + antenna circuit + protective encapsulation

4. Key Technical Parameters
