Custom Metal Labels For Equipment
Custom metal tags can be a great way to identify and label equipment in a durable and long-lasting way. Here are some steps you can take to create custom metal tags for your equipment:
Determine the size and shape of the tags you need. Consider the amount of information you need to include on the tag and the space available on the equipment.
Choose the type of metal you want to use. Some common options include aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. Each metal has its own benefits and drawbacks, so choose the one that best fits your needs.
Decide on the printing or engraving method. You can choose to print the information directly onto the tag using a specialized printer, or you can engrave the information onto the tag using a laser or rotary tool.
Design the tag. Include any necessary information such as serial numbers, part numbers, equipment name or model, and any other relevant data.
Metal Tags For Equipment Materials compare
Aluminum: Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material that is ideal for tags that will be used in outdoor environments or in harsh conditions. It is also easy to work with, making it a popular choice for custom tags. However, aluminum is not as durable as other metals and can scratch or dent easily.
Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is a strong, corrosion-resistant material that is often used in industrial and marine applications. It is durable, resistant to heat and chemicals, and can withstand extreme temperatures. Stainless steel tags are ideal for use in harsh environments and for equipment that needs to be sterilized or sanitized.
Brass: Brass is a softer metal that is known for its attractive appearance and resistance to corrosion. It is often used for decorative purposes, but can also be used for industrial tags. Brass tags are durable and can withstand high temperatures, but they can tarnish over time.
Copper: Copper is a highly conductive metal that is often used in electrical applications. It is also resistant to corrosion and can be easily formed into custom shapes. Copper tags have a unique appearance and can be used for decorative purposes, but they are not as durable as other metals and can tarnish over time.
The choice of material for metal tags for equipment will depend on cost and the specific requirements of the application, including the environment, the level of durability needed, and any aesthetic considerations. Aluminum and stainless steel are the most popular choice in production.
How To Customize Information On The Metal Labels For Equipment?
Laser/No Minimum
Silk Screen/UV Print
Stamping
Corrosion/Etching
Silk screen printing, also known as screen printing, involves creating a stencil on a mesh screen and then forcing ink through the mesh onto the substrate using a squeegee. It is relatively quick and easy to set up. Production cost is lower. After printing, the metal tag’s surface is flat.
Etching, on the other hand, is a printmaking process that involves creating an image by selectively removing material from a metal plate using acid. The plate is coated with a wax or resin “ground,” which is then scratched or drawn through to expose the metal underneath. The plate is then submerged in an acid bath, which eats away at the exposed metal to create the design. This process can produce intricate, detailed designs with a wide range of textures and shading, but it is more time consuming and technically demanding than screen printing. After etching, its surface is not flat you can feel the texture. Production cost is higher than silk screen. Corrosion Resistance and durability are better than silk screens. Etching usually uses for outdoor equipment.
