Band tags allow for flush mount identification

INFOSIGHT metal bar-coded identification tags have provided metal manufacturers and fabricators with flexible on-demand identification and traceability solutions for decades. Now there is a method of tagging materials without the tag “hanging out”. InfoSight has introduced band tags, which have slots in the ends through which a band can be threaded. This allows the user to attach the ID tag with the same material they are using to secure their product. This translates into flush-mounted identification at no additional cost. InfoTag ® Hi-Temp and Pic-Anneal ® tags are available as band tags. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and chemical treatments as well as UV exposure. InfoTag Hi-Temp is generally used by manufacturers of high-temperature metals including steel and titanium. The Pic-Anneal tag gives rod mills, wire mills and strip coil mills a way to track parts through the entire pickling and annealing process, including acid baths and annealing heat. The slot sizes are 6.3mm (0.25") wide and 38mm (1.5") long.
