MetalPhoto Product/Service Summary

Because MetalPhoto is resistant to many conditions commonly found in outdoor environments that would erode most identification products printed on other materials, MetalPhoto is the perfect material for any nameplates, signs, labels or control panels that need to stand up to harsh outdoor environments, or any project where permanent identification that will remain legible for the life of the product is crucial.

The Confidence of Legibility.

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.

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

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 data entry errors and speed the process of identifying assets properly.

High-resolution graphic capability and optional security printing features

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.
