PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

 

Custom Metal Nameplates

Custom nameplates can be fabricated from flexible or metal materials. Screen print, emboss, Metalphoto®, or etch text and graphics onto substrate surfaces. Equipment nameplates can be made to withstand up to 25 years of outdoor exposure and may be die cut, digitally cut, laminated, or machined to your specifications.

 

Metal Nameplates

Whatever your metal nameplate needs, Prestige MFG can custom design the perfect solution. Our metal identifiers include data and information about weights and equipment specifications. Used in the construction, mining industries, and general equipment manufacturing industries, our nameplates are long-lasting and built to withstand harsh conditions with some products guaranteed for 25 years or more.

When your application calls for a material that will remain legible through the harshest of environments, Metalphoto is your go-to material. These industries all trust Metalphoto for their critical identification applications:

METALPHOTO PROVIDES DURABLE IDENTIFICATION FOR DEFENSE APPLICATIONS

Metalphoto’s durability comes from its image – which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing resistance to corrosion, sunlight degradation, abrasion, high temperatures and chemical exposure. Its unique, photographic imaging process supports ultra-high resolution images and variable information – including machine-readable barcodes, anti-counterfeit security features and serialized data.

THE INTELLIGENT METALPHOTO VIN TAG.
A 20-YEAR TAG FOR A 20-YEAR TRAILER.

The Intelligent Metalphoto® VIN Tag replaces traditional etched plates because of greater durability and optional machine-readable barcodes. Those features create the following benefits for trailer manufacturers and their customers:

BENEFITS TO THE TRAILER MANUFACTURER

  • Drive aftermarket revenue – digitally link to sources for OEM aftermarket parts and service.
  • Enhance your selling proposition – differentiate your trailer from competitors and offers your customers a series of cost-saving benefits (see below).
  • Enhance your brand image – feature a crisp, high-resolution brand logo image that lasts the life of your trailer & demonstrates the quality of your brand.

BENEFITS TO THE FLEET OWNER

  • Asset Tracking – end manual data entry with an asset-specific barcode, reducing labor and errors associated with trailer intake at transfer stations and maintenance facilities.
  • Asset Maintenance – give the operator and mechanic a service history for each trailer, helping to locate OEM-approved replacement parts and reduce downtime through targeted preventative maintenance.
  • Little to No Replacement Costs – its image, which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, provides resistance to road-salt corrosion, abrasion and other conditions that can obscure traditional etched steel plates.
  • Proven Track Record – used by several leading trailer manufacturers already, the IntelligentMetalphoto VIN Tag is already being deployed by leaders in the industry.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

DURABILITY:

The Intelligent Metalphoto VIN Tag’s durability comes from Metalphoto’s photographic image which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing resistance to:

  • Sunlight degradation (20+ years)
  • Road-salt corrosion (30 days in chamber)
  • Abrasion (7,000 cycles on tabor abrader)
  • High temperatures (1,000°F)
  • Chemical exposure (diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid and several others)

RESOLUTION:

The Intelligent Metalphoto VIN Tag supports variable data and barcodes because it is a photographic technology. That means:

  • Variable data can be embedded in the plate or punched/scribed your location(s)
  • Barcodes reduce data entry errors and time – helping your customer track and maintain your product
  • Optional two-dimensional QR code can link mechanics to a maintenance history and parts list of OEM-approved aftermarket parts
  • Optional anti-counterfeit features such as watermark and micro-print verify authenticity of your product

In addition to VIN Tags, manufactures use Metalphoto for these permeant identification items:

  • CSC Safety Approval Plates
  • ISO 6346/BIC intermodal shipping container nameplates
  • And other durable nameplates, maintenance schematics and labels

DURABLE IDENTIFICATION FOR SHIPBUILDING & MARINE APPLICATIONS

For over 60 years, engineers have trusted Metalphoto® photosensitive anodized aluminium for extremely durable equipment and process identification items installed in demanding operating environments. Specified by Huntington Ingalls, NASSCO, Newport News, the Norwegian Marine Technology Research Institute (Marintek), the United States Navy and many others, Metalphoto is used in applications where labels and nameplates must survive UV exposure, salt spray, abrasion, heat, fuels, cleaning agents, acids, and lubricants while being produced in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
