Metalized Polyester Barcode Labels have the appearance of metal without the accompanying price tag.
These silver polyester asset labels are digitally printed which allows for crisp, clean company logos as well as consistent, reliable barcode scans. The .002″ thick acrylic adhesive ensures a strong aggressive bond to most low surface energy plastic and metal applications.
Our Metalized Polyester Barcode Labels are now available with our ColorFast™ option – a Tedlar® laminate that extends exposure for up to 10 years! Contact Metalcraft at 1-800-437-5283 or 641-423-9460 for more details.
