Pannier introduced the bar code metal tag in the 1980s as an alternative to less durable paper and plastic labels. Metal tags are made to withstand industrial processes in the steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, medical, and other industries.
Bar Coding in the Harshest Environments
Metal tags perform reliably in the most harsh manufacturing environments. Metal tags:
* can be applied to red-hot products in excess of 1800°F
* withstand immersion in acids, oils, water, and other fluids
* are rigid and can be securely attached to products with uneven surfaces or products that have
oil or moisture on the surface
* will not tear, deteriorate, or fall off during handling, processing, or shipping
* withstand prolonged exposure to weather conditions such as heat, salt, humidity, and UV rays
* available in a variety of colors, sizes, and materials
