Aluminium is a popular material for metal asset labels due to its durability and resistance to many common contaminants and sources of damage. Aluminium asset labels are used globally for asset management and tracking systems in all industries.

Some of the key benefits of metal asset labels are that they are available in several types, and durability characteristics together with other features that are important in a system.

Consider the following when choosing a metal asset label:

  • Long Lifetime. Even in extreme outdoor environments, aluminium labels can last for more than 20 years. This performance is among the best in the industry, and it’s one of the few materials that can perform well in such a wide range of environments. They’re also a popular choice in highly regulated industries, such as aerospace or defence, that have stringent asset tracking, item identification, and product lifecycle management requirements.
  • Durability. aluminium is the perfect label choice for demanding applications that may encounter a wide variety of environmental conditions. With resistance to chemicals, moisture, temperature, UV rays, and abrasion, they can be used just about anywhere. They are often selected for use on marine vessels and oil rigs which spend long periods of time at sea. Even under these extreme situations, these labels are dependable and remain readable and intact.
  • Image Clarity. The standard black-on-silver design of most aluminium labels provides clear, crisp graphics that are easy to read. Since the graphics are protected beneath an anodic layer, they are less likely to become damaged from any exposure to harsh conditions. In addition, the clean and professional look makes these labels a high-quality choice for any factory, warehouse, or industrial operation.

Anodized aluminium labels have crisp black graphics sealed beneath an anodic layer of the aluminium to provide superior image quality and durability, whereas anodized aluminium labels with graphics of any colour residing beneath a surface layer offer the same image resolution quality and durability. Screen-printed aluminium labels have images screen-printed onto the surface of the aluminium and are subject to abrasion and fading.
