Teflon® Coated Nameplates are easy to clean, acid-resistant and temperature-resistant up to 500 °F. 

Available with or without a barcode, Teflon® Coated Nameplates are ideal for customers who require permanent nameplates to stand up in extremely harsh environments. These nameplates are perfect for tracking assets, fugitive emissions and work-in-process. Their fast and accurate barcode reading makes the scanning process simple. Black copy, logos, and barcodes are photographically reproduced for maximum clarity and detail and then sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum. The anodized aluminum combined with the Teflon coating makes these nameplates one of our most durable products.

Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates come with a standard adhesive that bonds extremely well to plastic or powder coated metal surfaces and bonds well to bare metal surfaces. This product is also available with optional holes for mechanical fasteners.

Potential Applications for Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates

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

OEM Product Identification – the barcode and/or product identification number on Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates can be used for tracking purposes such as warranty and service information and typically contain one or more of the following: model number, serial number, or part number. Customers use the identification plate on products they produce and sell.

UID/IUID – Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates are compliant with the UID/IUID (Unique Item Identification mandate with the Department of Defense (DoD).

Work-in-Process – the barcode and/or identification number on Teflon® Coated Barcode Nameplates can identify a “batch” OR “lot” of product or just simply identify each product as it travels through the production process.

Packaging Shipped in “work-out-of” cartons for convenient application. Each carton consists of one or more trays containing sequentially packed nameplates (nameplates may not always have a number and a quantity packaged can vary with metal thickness). Both cartons and trays are clearly marked to indicate serial numbers of contents. Pressure-sensitive adhesive orders are shipped with a roller, cleaner, and application instructions. Roller is recommended when applying nameplates.

High Temp Metal Barcode Nameplates

Metalcraft’s High Temperature Metal Barcode Nameplates are ideal for temperatures from 900°F - 1200°F.

Our High Temperature Metal Barcode Labels are made of anodized aluminum, so they have many of the same benefits that our standard Metal Barcode Tags do – including an image sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum. This protects it from abrasion, solvents and chemicals.

These unique nameplates are an economical alternative to other more expensive high temperature materials such as ceramic and stainless steel. Potential applications include work-in-process tracking or product identification. Due to the high temperatures this product is exposed to, adhesives are not recommended, rather the nameplates should be produced with holes and attached with mechanical fasteners.
