Engraved metal tags can be surprisingly valuable to your business in many ways. When engraved tags are used, items are located faster. This results in less inventory mistakes, wasted materials, and time spent locating misplaced items. Engraved tags keep equipment, supplies, and assets clearly cataloged, improving organization and overall efficiency.
Depending on your business, engraved metal tags may help employees stay safer too. Workers can follow product labels to avoid potentially dangerous mix-ups or improper storage procedures. Otherwise, dangerous chemical reactions could occur for example.
But, for a tag to be effective, permanence and durability are essential. If labels peel off, become too worn to read, or get reapplied in the wrong place, assets are at risk of becoming stolen, lost, or misused. Engraved metal tags and labels address these concerns and offer a variety of benefits. They help you standardize your business, whether you manage an office, warehouse, industrial plant, commercial building or other organization.
Advantages of Engraved Metal Tags
It’s crucial to invest in engraved metal tags, especially for industrial environments, because they offer the following advantages:
- Durability: Metal, especially stainless steel, is highly durable and offers excellent tensile strength. Engraving on the surface of the metal tag results in a marking that stays readable for years.
- Cost Effectiveness: The durability and long life of engraved metal tags saves money over time, when compared to less durable and less permanent labeling methods. Although they might have a slightly higher initial cost, engraved metal tags won’t need to be replaced often. This decreases both the frequency of purchasing replacements and the labor required to replace them.
- Suitability in Harsh Environments: Tags exposed to water, heat, salt, extreme cold, UV rays, or even just corrosive cleaning products, will incur less damage when they’re metal. Stainless steel and brass, for example, won’t melt or burn, and resists water damage.
- Corrosion Resistance: Metal tags can endure frequent direct contact with a variety of chemicals.
- Sanitary: Metal is easier to clean and less porous than most forms of plastic. To keep your workplace as clean as possible, use stainless steel products. They won’t stain or retain odors and are antimicrobial.
Tips for Creating and Using Engraved Metal Tags
When tagging your products or equipment, be sure to consider all the information your company could use for identification. Bar codes, SKU numbers, date of production, product name, and product description are all examples. Color coding using a colored anodized aluminum tag might also be something you could consider.
With this in mind, you’ll need to decide how you want to customize your engraved metal tags. The following are examples of what you might want to consider:
- Text
- Graphics
- Tag Size
- Type of metal
- Metal thickness
- Tag color
- Marking process
