The QuickTab Tag Dispenser is a revolutionary, patent-pending product from Metalcraft designed to make nameplate application more efficient than any other product on the market.

We've combined our tabbed nameplate with a specially designed metal cable to provide a more automated process for applying adhesive-backed nameplates.

The most expensive and often overlooked component of implementing an asset tracking system is the labor lost of applying the tags. As much as 2.8x faster than standard nameplate application, the ring provides huge labor savings potential. The ring provides efficiency by pulling at the tab to easily peel the liner away from the nameplate. The ring provides several benefits: labor cost savings, eliminates risk of adhesive contamination, collects the scrap, transferability when multiple people are part of the application process and keeping serial numbers in order.
