Metal asset tags have been the material of choice of IT professionals for over 40 years. Let us show you some of the common variations – so that you can make a decision on the best metal tag material for your business or school. Variations include adhesive types, tamperproof security cuts, numbering and barcode options. See this video and photo gallery below to see metal asset tags in action and being tested under extreme conditions.
Metal tags are study and durable. But which type is right for your company?
People choose Metal Asset Tags for a variety of reasons. They're really durable. They stand up to abrasions, to heat, to grease, and water. They have the best adhesives in the business, and they look great. So let's take a look at the options we carry for Metal Asset Tags. This group includes AlumiGuard, PlioGuard, AlumiGuard with Securicuts, and FoilGuard. AlumiGuard is our bestselling and highest quality Asset Tag material. The aluminum is anodized. That means it's been put through a chemical process that makes the surface diamond hard. It also allows the colors, designs, numbers, and barcodes to be seen in beautiful detail. The print is not on the surface of the tag. It's actually embedded in the aluminum, so it can't be scratched off. If you need to tag that will last in practically any environment, AlumiGuard is your material. We also offer AlumiGuard Tags printed in full color. We call these SunGuard Tags, and we can achieve really crisp designs for logos that are in multiple colors, or involve shading or gradients. All of our tags feature 3M adhesives. We work exclusively with 3M because they're far and away the industry leader. AlumiGuard Tags come with 3M 467 adhesive standard, which sticks really well to metal and most plastics. But you do have the option of specialized adhesives for other services-- textured plastic, textured metal, even wood. AlumiGuard is also the best choice for high heat environments. The tag itself, and the adhesive, have been tested at up to 300 degrees with no problem. If you take all the pros of AlumiGuard and add flexibility, you've got PlioGuard. PlioGuard Tags are also 100% aluminum, and feature your choice of 3M adhesives. But PlioGuard Tags have been annealed. This means they've undergone a chemical process that makes the aluminum pliable, without compromising any strength. Choose PlioGuard for curved instruments, for hand tools, or anything that has an irregular surface. Another variation on this same theme is AlumiGuard with Securicuts. This is a standard AlumiGuard Tag with security cuts in the metal. Our adhesives are strong and stick incredibly well, but with a sharp edge, they can be peeled off. Securicuts add security because these tags cannot be removed without destroying the tag itself. There's no chance that someone is going to peel off an AlumiGuard with Securicuts Tag and attach it to a new asset. It's just not going to happen. Again, these tags have all the functionality of regular AlumiGuard-- the same options for adhesives, the same embedded print-- but with one extra added feature, security. And finally, we have FoilGuard, which is our lower cost option. They're 100% aluminum, but they're thinner than AlumiGuard. They're strong, flexible, and great for irregular services. The printing, however, is not embedded like AlumiGuard. It's on the surface, so FoilGuard is not as resistant to abrasions and scratching. FoilGuard Tags feature a high-end 3M adhesive, so they'll stick really well on metal and most plastics. And they're resistant to water, chemicals, grease, and high temperatures. No matter what type of Tag you choose, we stand behind the quality of our materials. If you have any questions or would like to see samples, we have an amazing team of customer service reps who are ready to help you at any time. Just give us a call, or drop us an email.
