Developed using a patented production process, you can be sure there is no other product on the market like it! Metalcraft’s Foil Bar Code Roll Labels afford users all the same benefits as our standard Foil Bar Code Labels, yet can be applied using an automated applicator – saving time and eliminating potential misapplication caused by human error.

Foil Bar Code Roll Labels are ideal for customers who require a flexible label that will conform to most surfaces, yet need a product that will withstand harsh conditions including chemicals, abrasion, solvents, and high temperatures.

Foil Bar Code Roll Labels are available with or without a bar code. Black copy, logos and bar codes are photographically reproduced for maximum clarity and detail and then sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum – ensuring accurate and reliable reads for years to come.
