Durable Construction Means…

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]

The Confidence of Legibility.

Durable Construction Metalphoto™’s archival, silver-halide based image is sealed inside of anodized aluminum, making it readable after prolonged exposure to a variety of harsh operating conditions including weather/sunlight, heat, abrasion, chemicals and salt-spray.

The benefit is fewer label, nameplate, sign or control panel replacements due to illegibility – that means guaranteed regulatory compliance, asset identification and brand representation.[/ezcol_2third_end] [ezcol_1third]

Variable Information Capability Means…

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]

Automated asset tracking, guaranteed traceability, fewer data entry errors and faster processing.

Variable Information Capability Metalphoto™’s ability to create hundreds, thousands, even millions of unique labels or nameplates is a function of its unique imaging process.

The benefit of this process is that Metalphoto™ labels and nameplates can contain “item-unique” serialized data, one of a kind instructions and/or barcodes of any symbology.

Durable barcodes connect assets to cloud-based computer systems, reduce date entry errors and speed the process of identifying assets properly.[/ezcol_2third_end] [ezcol_1third]

Photographic Resolution Image Means…

[/ezcol_1third] [ezcol_2third_end]

High-resolution graphic capability and optional security printing features.

Photographic Resolution Image The benefits of photographic resolution are three-fold:

Your label, nameplate or panel will always look crisp and clear – conveying a sense of quality and reliability that will distinguish your brand.
High-resolution images make it possible to mark small items or surfaces such as firearms or others where a large label is not feasible.
Optional security printing features such as micro-text and watermarks that verify the authenticity of your product and protect it against fraud and counterfeiting.[/ezcol_2third_end] [ezcol_1third]

Proven Performance Means…
