UL/cUL Compliance and Adoption Program

What is UL and cUL Recognition?

We are able to conduct performance testing required for compliance with UL/cUL, BS 5609, ASTM and many others.

For a label material to have UL recognition, it must pass a series of durability tests and remain legible. The testing includes exposure to a range of temperatures, as well as exposure to various chemicals, including cooking oil, motor oil, laundry detergents, cleaning solutions and gasoline, along with many other solvents and chemicals. Materials must also pass abrasion testing and remain legible.

Flat Fee Adoptions with UL/cUL

Working with UL, we have developed an industry leading adoption program. Once you identify the product you require for an application, you will fill out a simple request with UL to adopt.

The total cost for UL adoption depends on several factors, such as addition of cUL recognition and amount of overlaminating films needed. Regardless of the total cost, Flexcon will credit these charges back to your account once you hit a specific sales target, so your actual cost to adopt a Flexcon product is zero. If you add additional inks or surfaces, UL will assign additional costs to the adoption.

Flexcon's technical experts will guide you through this process.

Flat Fee Adoptions with CSA

CSA is introducing a flat fee adoption program. The total cost for CSA adoption depends on several factors, such as amount of base products and of overlaminating films needed. Regardless of the total cost, once you hit a specific sales target, Flexcon will reimburse your basic adoption fee for base film and/or overlaminate that you paid to CSA. If you select additional inks or surfaces to the basic file, there may be additional costs.

Flexcon's technical experts will guide you through this process.
