Custom Metal Tags for Permanent Identification and Asset Tracking
What Are Custom Metal Tags
Custom metal tags are rigid identification components used to permanently mark products, machinery, and assets. Unlike printed or plastic labels, metal tags are selected when long term legibility, durability, and resistance to environmental exposure are required. They are commonly used to display serial numbers, barcodes, safety information, and compliance data in industrial and commercial environments.
Metal tags are used for identification and traceability, not for front facing product branding.
