Pannier’s printed metal tags are the ideal way to reliably track automotive components and assemblies during and after production. Available in a variety of colors for easy visual identification, they can be printed with text, graphics, bar codes, and 2D Data Matrix codes.

Metal tags are durable and remain intact through many harsh manufacturing processes and typical weather conditions. Attachment methods include adhesive, rivets, screws, wire, tag clips, and welding.

When evaluating labels for tracking automotive components, consider the following benefits of using metal tags instead of paper or plastic labels.

Pannier Metal Tags:

• withstand immersion in acids, oils, or water and prolonged exposure to heat, salt, humidity, and UV rays
• are rigid and can be securely attached to products with uneven surfaces or products that have oil or moisture on the surface
• will not tear, deteriorate, or fall off during handling, processing or shipping, eliminating the risk of losing vital tracking information
• can be placed in a consistent location on automotive parts and assemblies, allowing reliable bar code scanning on automated production lines
• are tamper-resistant and cannot be reproduced, eliminating warranty fraud and counterfeiting
• available in a variety of colors, sizes, and materials and with client-specific hole or slot configurations for a variety of applications
