Durable nameplates and identification labels

Plates in stainless steel, anodized aluminium or brass, and polyester labels with engraved, printed or serialized data, to identify machines, equipment and assets durably. The data can be text, serial number, barcode, QR or DataMatrix, and the content is supplied by the customer.

Six types have their own page: anodized aluminium nameplates, metal asset tags with QR or DataMatrix, serialized tamper-evident polyester labels, CE and rating plates, stainless steel nameplates and polyester rating-plate labels. Other formats, such as valve tags, brass plates or photosensitive anodized aluminium, are quoted on request.

Made or sourced to your specification, with the customer's design and data. The content of a rating plate is defined by the equipment production partner; we reproduce the artwork they have approved and signed. Typical uses are the identification of machines, IT assets, valves and cables. If you already have a vector file or a table of serial numbers, attach it to your enquiry.

In short

What it is: CE and rating plates, metal or polyester asset labels, with engraving and QR codes.

What we need to quote: Vector file of the design (AI, PDF or DXF); Material, thickness and dimensions; Fixing: holes, adhesive or rivets.

Scope to check: The content of the plate is defined by the customer, as the equipment production partner; we reproduce the artwork the customer has approved and signed.

Laser-marked metal asset tags with QR or DataMatrix

Anodized aluminium or stainless steel with laser-engraved QR or DataMatrix code and unique numbering, plus the readable number. Fixed with adhesive, rivets or screws and linked to your asset register.

Silver polyester label with barcode, QR and sequential number on a piece of equipment

Serialized tamper-evident polyester labels

Self-adhesive silver or white PET labels with the customer's text, sequential numbering, barcode or QR. They can have a clear laminate or a structure that is destroyed when peeled (VOID or frangible).

Aluminium rating plate with CE marking and serial number on an electrical cabinet

Custom CE and rating plates

Data plates for machines and electrical equipment with model, year, serial number, production partner details and CE marking. The content comes from the equipment production partner and is reproduced from the signed artwork.

Brushed stainless steel plate with engraved text and fixing holes

Custom stainless steel nameplates

304 or 316 stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and chemicals, with chemical etching and colour fill or laser marking. Holes, adhesive and riveting are available.

Silver polyester label with power data and CE marking on a motor

Polyester rating-plate labels

Adhesive silver or white PET label that replaces the metal plate to show model, rated values, CE marking and serial number. It has a pre-printed fixed part and a variable area with serial number or QR.

Scope and responsibility for content

The content of the plate is defined by the customer, as the equipment production partner; we reproduce the artwork the customer has approved and signed. Data plates for equipment under Directive 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment) or Directive 2014/34/EU (explosive atmospheres) are not accepted, because of their safety nature.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right material for a nameplate?

It depends on the environment. Anodized aluminium (silver, black or colour) takes laser engraving, screen printing or chemical etching; 304 or 316 stainless steel resists corrosion and chemicals; brass adds decorative value; and a polyester label replaces the plate when an adhesive solution is enough. Tell us whether it will be outdoors, in contact with chemicals or in a marine environment.

What information goes on a CE rating plate?

It usually includes model, year, serial number, production partner details and CE marking. The equipment production partner defines them under the rules that apply to it (for example Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 on machinery or Directive 2014/35/EU on low voltage); we reproduce the signed artwork.

Can plates be numbered and linked to a verification page?

Yes: sequential serial numbers, barcodes, QR or DataMatrix and a file with the serials. The scope of the online verification page is defined in the enquiry.

Do you accept plates for pressure equipment or explosive atmospheres?

No. Data plates for equipment under Directive 2014/68/EU (pressure equipment) or Directive 2014/34/EU (explosive atmospheres) are not accepted, because of their safety nature.
