Optional second colors are digitally inkjet printed.

Foil Barcode Labels are just as effective in an office setting as it is on the production floor. Uses and applications for this product are limited only by the customer’s imagination! From tool tracking to product identification for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Foil Barcode Labels are more than up to the task.

Potential Applications for Foil Barcode Labels

Asset Tracking – the barcode and human readable ID number on Foil Barcode Labels can be used to track information about the asset the nameplate is adhered to, i.e., laptops, furniture, containers, pallets, equipment and more.
