Versatile and dependable, Metalcraft’s barcode labels are engineered for applications where flexibility meets durability. Pliable enough to conform to curved surfaces yet rugged enough to resist caustics, solvents, and mild abrasion, these labels deliver reliable performance in environments where failure isn’t an option. Because if the tag fails, the system fails—and we won’t let the tag fail.
Our subsurface printing process protects your brand, copy, and barcode from wear and environmental exposure, ensuring long-term readability and consistent system performance. From high-end, high-volume branded products and access control applications to destructible and tamper evident labels, our barcode labels are built to adapt. Whatever challenge your operation faces, our labels are designed to conform—and to keep working.
