Paint Mask barcode labels for production tracking
Tracking through production
Most manufacturing companies must adhere to their customers' stringent quality requirements and be able to track and trace each part during the manufacturing process.
With products going through many different processes during manufacture the paint shop creates the biggest problem for parts marking because any label or marking on an item will be covered in paint and thus the information is un-readable further down the production line.
Dantech, a well established label company specialising in labelling for manufacturing and storage in industrial harsh environments, can solve this problem with their special removable paint mask labels.
A clear laminate on top of the printed information label can easily be removed once the product emerges from the drying oven (labels will withstand temperatures up to 200° C short term) by simply peeling the laminate away and the tracking details, barcode, etc. emerges clean and ready to scan - an ideal solution for tracking a product through the production process.
The labels have sub-surface printing and will therefore withstand many chemicals and abrasion. Information such as sequential numbering and barcode are easily included in the printing.
Labels can also be supplied with a special fluoropolymer laminate (similar to Teflon© coating) which will resist paint - after painting simply pick off the paint and the label information is visible ready to be scanned.
