Product Description

Anodised Aluminium Metal Asset Tags

Our anodised aluminium asset tags are designed for environments where standard labels simply will not last. They are ideal for equipment identification, OEM plates and service labels where durability and long-term readability are essential.

This material is recommended for labels exposed to demanding conditions such as direct sunlight, salt spray, high temperatures, cleaning solvents and continuous abrasion. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, anodised aluminium labels will not crack, chip or peel during their service life.

Built for Extreme Durability

Unlike surface printed labels, the graphics on anodised aluminium tags are embedded directly into the aluminium during the manufacturing process. This creates a highly durable finish that resists wear, weather and chemical exposure.

Because of this process, metal labels can withstand environments where other label types would quickly deteriorate.

  • Resistant to UV exposure and sunlight
  • Suitable for salt spray and marine environments
  • Withstands cleaning solvents and chemicals
  • Highly resistant to abrasion and wear
  • Designed for long-term equipment identification

High Bond Adhesive Backing

Our anodised aluminium labels are supplied with a high-performance 3M adhesive backing, providing a strong and reliable bond to a wide range of surfaces.

This ensures the label remains securely attached even in demanding industrial or outdoor environments.

Proven in Industrial and Marine Applications

Anodised aluminium labels have been widely used in demanding environments for decades. The same specification has been used on naval vessels, where materials must withstand salt spray, constant exposure to sunlight and physical wear.

Common applications include:

  • Equipment identification labels
  • Asset management tags
  • OEM identification plates
  • Service and maintenance labels
  • Industrial machinery identification

Available Colours

We can produce anodised aluminium labels using the following standard colour options:

  • Black
  • Dark Blue
  • Light Blue
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Red
  • Yellow

Frequently Asked Questions

What are metal asset tags used for?

Metal asset tags are used to permanently identify equipment, machinery, tools and fixed assets. They allow organisations to track items through asset registers, maintenance systems or barcode scanning.

Why choose aluminium asset labels instead of standard labels?

Aluminium asset labels are significantly more durable than plastic or polyester labels. The graphics are embedded into the aluminium during the anodising process, making them resistant to sunlight, chemicals, abrasion and harsh environments.

Can metal asset tags be used outdoors?

Yes. Anodised aluminium labels are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. They are resistant to UV exposure, salt spray, temperature changes and weathering, making them suitable for long-term external applications.

How are the labels attached?

These metal asset labels are supplied with a high-performance 3M adhesive backing which provides a strong bond to most clean surfaces. Mechanical fixing options can also be supplied for certain applications.

What industries use metal asset labels?

Metal asset tags are widely used in manufacturing, utilities, construction, healthcare, education and facilities management where equipment must remain clearly identified for many years.

Is there a minimum label run?
No – we have printed just a few labels in the past. The unit cost however, does shoot up for short runs. We do have a minimum order charge of £45.00.

I need a special size, will it cost a lot extra?
We already have hundreds of label cutters in stock in a variety of shapes and sizes – so we are likely to have a cutter that meets your requirements. A cutter made to your specific size will cost in the range of £32 to £90 (for rectangles and circles) depending on the type of label you require.

What is your normal delivery time?
From receipt of your order, we need approximately 3 to 7 working days, depending on the type of labels ordered. We can provide an urgent service, which may incur an additional cost.

How do you dispatch labels?
We normally use UPS who provide an excellent tracked service.

What does overlamination mean?
This is simply a clear film of polyester material which is placed on top of the label to prevent the print from being damaged or scratched off. On certain labels we can also offer a lower cost varnished finish.

Can I have a logo printed on my labels?
Yes usually. Artwork should be supplied by e-mail.

How will my labels be supplied?
Labels are normally supplied on rolls. Sequentially numbered labels are supplied with the lowest number on the outside of the roll, unless otherwise specified.

Can you match Pantone colours?
Yes we can, dependant on the type of labels you require.
