Metal Barcode Nameplates combine reliability with the durability you have come to expect with any Metalcraft product. They have consistently remained one of our most popular products for our customers because of their dependability as well as the options available including thickness of material, adhesive options and size selection. With hundreds of sizes available chances are very likely we will have just the size.
Available with or without a barcode, Metal Tags are ideal for customers who require permanent nameplates to stand up to harsh environments. Black copy, logos and barcodes are photographically reproduced for maximum clarity and detail and then sealed within a layer of anodized aluminum – ensuring accurate and reliable reads for years to come. Optional second colors are digitally inkjet printed.
For applications where the nameplate will be exposed to higher temperatures or more extreme environmental conditions, Metalcraft offers an optional intensification process that increases heat resistance to 1000°F (intermittent) and improves image resistance for other environmental conditions including damaging UV rays. In addition, Metal Barcode Nameplates are available with pressure-sensitive adhesive or optional holes for mechanical fasteners.
