Features

  • Small size makes label unobtrusive
  • Photo anodized aluminum resists abrasion, solvents, sun, salt air, and high temperatures
  • DataMatrix symbology utilizes only one-tenth the space of traditional bar codes
  • High redundancy in DataMatrix symbology means bar code will still read if as much as 60% of the image is destroyed
