1. Introduction – Why Metal Tags Are Essential for Equipment Identification
In industrial and commercial environments, durability and clarity in labeling are non-negotiable. Custom metal tags are the backbone of asset identification for machinery, tools, and equipment—from manufacturing plants to utilities. Unlike paper or plastic labels, metal tags stand up to abrasion, chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.
