Metalcraft: IUID Made Better

IUID (Item Unique Identification) is a DoD mandate requiring a globally unique identifier for tracking items across their lifecycle. Compliance is critical for DoD contractors, suppliers, and agencies, covering assets over $5,000, mission-critical equipment, and government-furnished property. The IUID mark includes a 2D DataMatrix barcode with the enterprise identifier and serial number, utilizing Construct 1 or 2 serialization methods. Metalcraft offers durable IUID-compliant labels, registration services, and is ITAR and DFARS compliant, making them a reliable partner for IUID needs.
