-
Durability and visibility for your assets
-
Automated asset tracking with real-time, 100% accurate data by location
-
Automated “in and out” processes

Enhanced security, discouraging theft/misplacement
-
Records of maintenance
-
A real-time account of safe handling
When you’re renting out expensive equipment like Audio Visual items, you need a partner that can provide a wide range of asset tracking solutions. Metalcraft has worked with many equipment rental companies to create solutions that are as unique to their world as the many types of equipment they rent out. Now that’s ID Made Better®.
Metal Barcode Tags are ideal for customers who require permanent nameplates to stand up in harsh environments.
Metal Bar Code Nameplates combine reliability with the durability you have come to expect with any Metalcraft product. And now we’ve made them even easier to apply with a convenient break-away tab to assist with liner removal.
The 002” polypropylene Valumark label conforms to uneven and curved surfaces and adheres tightly to plastics that resist labels under moderate use. Subsurface digital printing eliminates lamination and keeps graphics bright when used, primarily, for indoor asset tracking.
Metalized Polyester Labels are polyester asset labels that have the appearance of expensive metal without the accompanying price tag. These silver polyester labels are digitally printed which allows for crisp, clean company logos as well as consistent, reliable barcode scans.
Do you need to track uniforms, hospital aprons, rental linens or other materials? Metalcraft's Heat Seal Labels are made of a woven polyester and heat-activated adhesive that bonds well to cottons, polyesters and much more. They even withstand washing and drying cycles!
Durable .002" polyester Premium Polyester Labels adhere to uneven and curved metal and plastic assets. The .002” pressure-sensitive adhesive gives a strong bond. The subsurface, digital printing ensures barcode readability and crisp graphics.
Foil Bar Code Labels are ideal for customers who require a flexible label that will conform to most surfaces, yet will withstand chemicals, abrasion, solvents, and high temperatures.
Barcode Cable Labels simplify the task of marking cables, hoses, tubing, etc., by providing subsurface printing on one end with the clear part of the label wrapping around the pre-imaged information to provide additional protection.
Made from a flexible polycarbonate material with a textured, non-reflective finish, Premium Stylemark Labels look great and work even better.
This top-of-the-line polyester label features our thickest polyester combined with a .0035" thick adhesive.
ID Advantage labels are ideal for high volume applications in a mild-to-moderate environment. The optional .001" thick clear polyester over laminate provides additional protection to the bar code and/or copy.
Metalcraft's Onsite Printable RFID Windshield Tag offers an affordable option when you require a temporary tag that needs to be printed on-demand.
