A metal equipment nameplate is a rigid anodized aluminum plate, sealed with a serial number, logo, or graphics, used to permanently identify manufactured products, machinery, and control panels.
A nameplate is a rigid, heavy-duty metal plate, made from anodized aluminum, used as a structural identification component on rugged equipment, while a label such as a custom asset tag is a flexible adhesive sticker. See the comparison table above for a full breakdown.
Anodized aluminum nameplates resist weather, abrasion, and chemical exposure because the anodizing process seals graphics beneath the metal's surface rather than printing on top of it. Our AlumiGuard anodized aluminum line, which uses the same anodizing process, is rated for 10+ years of outdoor life, and metal equipment nameplates carry that same 10+ year outdoor rating.
Yes. Metal equipment nameplates can be printed with a barcode alongside serial numbers, logos, and custom text, using the same barcode printing offered on Our metal asset tags and custom barcode labels lines.
Yes. Metal equipment nameplates are rated for temperatures up to 1000°F (538°C), so they stay legible on engines, ovens, boilers, kilns, and other high-heat equipment.
We are the industry leader in metal equipment nameplates, offering anodized aluminum and embossable aluminum plates that seal graphics, serial numbers, and logos into the metal, so nameplates outlast weather, abrasion, and chemical exposure that would wear down a standard label.
