Project Description
Metal Barcode Nameplates combine reliability with the durability you have come to expect with any idtracon product. And now we’ve made them even easier to apply with a convenient break-away tab to assist with liner removal.
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.
Photographically reproduced black copy, logos and bar codes ensure accurate and reliable reads
Anodizing process protects black copy, logos and bar codes from chemicals, abrasion and high temperatures
Adhesives 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
Break-away tab for easier liner removal
Specifications Data
| Material | .012″ thick matte anodized aluminum is standard. Optional thicknesses include .016″ and .020″. |
| Serialization | All alphanumeric bar codes 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 bar code 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, or yellow) for block style type, stylized type, logos or other designs. Due to the contrast needed for bar code scanner, all bar codes are black. Color samples available upon request. |
| Standard Adhesive | .0035″ thick, pressure-sensitive adhesive that has a very high peel strength and provides excellent resistance to heat and chemicals. |
| Sizes | Various sizes available |
| Holes | Optional |
| Packaging | Shipped in “workout-of” cartons for convenient application. Both cartons and trays clearly marked to indicate serial numbers of contents. Pressure-sensitive adhesive orders shipped with cleaner and application instructions. |
