ShotTag™ - Metal Identification Tags

ShotTag™ has been developed to withstand the cleaning process of "Shot Blasting":

  • Utilizes a metal substrate with a chemical & heat resistant coating.
  • Resists ablative bead and shot blasting.

ShotTag™ is an ideal solution for:

  • Low-cost barcode tracking for identifying fabricated steel through typical painting operations.
  • When start-to-finish traceability is a must.

 ShotTag™ features include real-time printing of custom information and resistance to common cleaning solutions and high-temperature paint curing. ShotTag™ is a metal barcode tag specifically formulated to survive the process of painting fabricated steel. The tags are attached to fabricated steel parts before painting via wire fasteners utilizing a pre-punched hole or slot in the tag. InfoSight’s complete range of laser tag printers, including the small desktop LabeLase®1000, LL28xx, and the new JM410, may be utilized to image barcodes, standard text and even customer logos. The printed tags remain readable through the processes to the customer’s job site. Start “Error-Proofing” your process today.
