Project Description

Metal Barcode Tags are ideal for customers who require permanent nameplates to stand up in harsh environments. Black copy, logos, and barcodes are photographically reproduced for maximum clarity and detail, then sealed within the anodic layer of the aluminum – ensuring accurate and reliable reads for years to come.

  • Photographically reproduced black copy, logos and barcodes ensure accurate and reliable reads

  • Anodizing process protects copy, logos and barcodes from chemicals, abrasion and high temperatures

  • Adhesive specially matched to surface for maximum adhesion or optional holes available for mechanical fasteners.

  • Optional intensification process increases heat resistance and improves the image resistance for other environmental conditions

Specifications Data

Material .008” matte anodized aluminum is standard. Optional thicknesses include: .012”, .032”, and .063”.
Serialization All alphanumeric barcodes are photo imaged with a human-readable equivalent. Guaranteed no skips in sequence. Code 39 with 2.7 to 9.4 characters per inch (CPI) is standard. Other barcode symbologies including Code 128, I 2 of 5, 2D DataMatrix and QR Code.
Label Copy Printed copy may include block type, stylized type, logos or other designs. Black copy is produced photographically. Colors other than black are screen printed.
Colors Choose black only or one of our standard colors (red, blue, green, dark blue, orange, purple or yellow) for block style type, stylized type, logos or other designs. Due to the contrast needed for barcode scanner, all barcodes are black. Color samples available upon request.

Destructive Test Data

A label with an intensified image was tested in a weatherometer, 20 years equivalent; reduced overall readability after these thresholds

Abrasion Test Summary

A plate with an intensified image was brushed for 7,000 cycles with stiff nylon wheel (C-17) at a 1,000 gm (16 ox.) load; reduced overall readability after these thresholds
