What We Use

Materials & Processes

Our choice of substrate and printing process directly determines durability, readability and compliance. We'll guide you to the right combination for your application.

Anodised Aluminium

MetalPRINT® · MetalPhoto®
Our patented MetalPRINT process embeds text and images directly into the anodic layer — not on top of it. The result is a label that cannot peel, flake or fade.
  • UV, chemical and abrasion resistant
  • Vivid colour and deep blacks for reliable barcode scanning
  • Suitable for outdoor and harsh industrial environments
  • Conforms to MIL-SPEC and AS/NZ standards
  • Patented process — developed in Australia, 2002

Stainless Steel

MetalLASER® Fibre Laser
High-resolution fibre laser marking delivers permanent, precise marks in polished, annealed or etched finishes — with no inks, no chemicals, no degradation over time.
  • Handles extreme heat, pressure and chemical exposure
  • Annealed finish is hygienic — food & medical approved
  • Custom shapes, holes and recesses
  • Variable data including serial numbers and barcodes
  • Ideal for offshore, marine and ATEX environments

Flexible Films

Mylar · Polypropylene · Tesa 6930 · 3M Vinyl
Where metal isn't required or budget is a factor, our flexible materials deliver outstanding durability with full colour branding capability at competitive price points.
  • Tesa 6930: extreme UV and chemical resistance
  • Ideal for curved surfaces — pipes, cables, conduit
  • Full colour + logo options for brand consistency
  • Short runs economically viable
  • Overlaminate protection on Mylar and Polypropylene
