Stainless-Steel Labels Solve Key Problems
Struggling with the following?
| ❌ | Misplaced or stolen equipment? |
| ❌ | Labels that can’t hold up under tough conditions? |
| ❌ | Having to frequently replace poor-quality tags? |

| ✅ | Mitigate losses and promote traceability – The visible identification of assets will help you to both prevent theft and avoid losing critical components |
| ✅ | Produce correct records – Mix-ups can be costly and create problems for your customers – avoid them with clear, long-lasting labels |
| ✅ | Adhere to maintenance schedules – High-quality labels ensure you won’t miss deadlines for repairs and inspections |

How Do We Customize Stainless-Steel Labels?
Depending on the application and purpose, Metal Marker Mfg. can implement a variety of customization processes to blank stainless-steel tags, including:
- Embossing – This method presses the stainless-steel tags upward, creating raised text that’s not only highly visible but incredibly durable as well. The text is very easy to read, even in dim conditions or at long distances. Plus, embossed characters are typically still visible, even when dirty or obscured.
- Etching – There are two main methods of etching stainless-steel equipment tags: laser etching and chemical etching. Laser etching uses a high-powered laser while chemical etching removes only the desired areas of the design in the stainless-steel tag. Color may be added to etched designs with a colorized fill. Etched tags have moderate durability, but any color infill is likely to deteriorate if subjected to wear and tear.
- Stamping – The stamping process indents your data into the tag or nameplate, which produces a highly durable recessed design. By using a custom meal stamp, our team can add a logo or design, as well as additional characters, to your stainless-steel labels.
- Engraving – A common processing option for stainless-steel tags is metal engraving, which provides a high level of customization on blank tags by using either a specialized rotary tool or a laser engraving machine, creating long-lasting deep cuts in the material. The resulting image is durable and will not easily be removed.
