Ask about our Photo Anodized 5 Point Promise!MIL-STD-130 compliant Metalphoto® labels are anodized for protection from chemicals, abrasion and high temperatures, and offer outstanding resistance to damaging UV rays. A specially matched adhesive provides more robust thickness. Optional holes are available for mechanical fasteners. Laser-marked aluminum data plates provide similar performance statistics to the photo-anodized data plates. The photo-anodized aluminum provides added durability while the specially matched adhesive ensures maximum thickness or optional holes are available for mechanical fasteners. Optional thicknesses available are .008″, .012″, .020″ & .032″.
| Material | Metal - .008" thick matte anodized aluminum is standard. Optional thicknesses include: .012", .032" and .063". Foil - .003" thick matte anodized aluminum is standard. .005" thick matte anodized aluminum is optional. |
| Serialization | All alphanumeric barcodes are photo imaged with a human-readable equivalent. Guaranteed no skips in sequence. |
