Identification Is Critical

WHAT IS METALPHOTO?

Metalphoto® is photosensitive, anodized aluminum used to make extremely durable, ultra high-resolution nameplates, labels, and control panels with variable data such as barcodes, QR codes or serialized information at scale.

Metalphoto’s durability comes from its archival image – which is sealed inside of the anodized aluminum, providing unmatched resistance to long-term sunlight, saltwater, high-temperature and/or harsh chemical resistance. A US Navy study of 73 materials found Metalphoto to earn the highest possible score on more tests than any other material evaluated.

Its unique, photographic imaging process economically creates a ultra high-resolution graphic and variable information for product identification and asset tracking application such as barcodes/QR codes, anti-conterfeit security and serialized nameplates at a production scale unmatched by other imaging technologies.

Since its development in 1950, Metalphoto has been specified by leading OEMs, military and government organizations for nameplate, label and control panel applications where permanence, resolution, variable data or a combination of those characteristics are required.
