PickleTag™
Metal ID Tags for Pickling, Rod Mills, and Wire Processing
PickleTag™ is built to keep metal rods, wires, and work pieces identifiable before, during, and after the pickling process.
- Designed for metal rod and wire processing
- Built for tracking finished and unfinished work pieces through metal pickling
- Readable text and barcodes before and after pickling
- Barcodes and text remain readable after hot acid baths
- Resistant to heat, acids, abrasion, and UV exposure
- Heat resistance up to 1,000°F / 538°C for 2 hours
- Available for on-site printing or preprinted by InfoSight
- Keep your work pieces traceable through hot acid baths.
- PickleTag™ helps eliminate the guesswork after pickling.
Durable Identification for Metal Pickling Processes
Pickling is tough on product identification. Hot acid baths, rinsing, abrasion, handling, and staging can quickly destroy ordinary labels or make handwritten identification unreadable. PickleTag™ is designed for rod mills, wire mills, wire processing plants, fabricators, anodizers, and metals service providers that need durable ID tags through metal pickling.
With high-contrast laser-markable coating, readable barcodes, and durable metal construction, PickleTag™ helps keep product identity attached when your process is too harsh for standard labels.

Built for Rod Mills, Wire Mills, and Acid Pickling
Rod and wire processors need identification that can survive more than just handling. Parts and bundles may be exposed to hot acid baths, temperature swings, surface cleaning, abrasion, UV exposure, and repeated movement through production.
PickleTag™ is made for these conditions. It is designed to help teams identify work pieces before processing and maintain readable identification after pickling. Instead of losing track of material after acid exposure, your team can rely on a tag built for the actual process.
Why Traceability Matters During Pickling
When identification fails during pickling, the impact is immediate. Operators may have to stop, sort material manually, compare paperwork, or re-tag work pieces after processing. That creates extra handling, slows production, increases the chance of errors, and can create unnecessary safety risks.
PickleTag™ helps protect traceability by keeping readable text and barcode data with the material. This allows teams to connect each work piece to production data, order information, customer requirements, and downstream processing steps.
Solve Lost Labels, Re-Tagging, and Downstream Errors
If your current labels cannot survive hot acid baths, your team is probably compensating with extra paperwork, handwritten notes, or post-process re-identification. Those workarounds cost time and leave room for mistakes.
PickleTag™ helps solve that problem with durable metal identification built for pickling environments. By keeping barcodes and text readable before and after pickling, PickleTag™ can help reduce re-tagging, reduce manual checks, and keep material moving through production with fewer interruptions.
The Right Tag for Pickling and Wire Processing
PickleTag™ is a strong fit for metal rod and wire processing, rod mills, wire mills, wire processing plants, fabricators, anodizers, and metals service providers. It is ideal for teams looking for pickling tags, acid-resistant metal tags, rod mill tags, wire mill tags, barcode tags for pickling, and durable ID tags for metal processing.
When your identification needs to survive the pickling process, PickleTag™ gives your team a purpose-built solution that supports traceability from start to finish.

Is PickleTag™ designed for rod and wire processing?
Yes. PickleTag™ is designed for metal rod and wire processing, including rod mills, wire mills, wire processing plants, fabricators, anodizers, and metals service providers.
Does PickleTag™ survive hot acid baths?
Yes. PickleTag™ is designed so readable text and barcodes remain intact before and after pickling, including exposure to hot acid baths.
How hot can PickleTag™ withstand?
PickleTag™ is designed to withstand heat up to 1,000°F / 538°C for 2 hours.
Can PickleTag™ support barcodes?
Yes. PickleTag™ can support high-contrast alphanumeric characters, graphics, and 1D or 2D barcodes.
How can PickleTag™ help improve productivity?
PickleTag™ helps reduce re-tagging, manual verification, and downstream errors by keeping identification readable through the pickling process. That helps teams move material faster with fewer interruptions.
Who should use PickleTag™?
PickleTag™ is a good fit for rod mills, wire mills, wire processing plants, fabricators, anodizers, and metals service providers that need durable identification through metal pickling.
How do I know if PickleTag™ is the right tag for my process?
The best fit depends on your pickling chemistry, temperature exposure, handling conditions, attachment method, and where your current tags are failing. InfoSight can help review your workflow and recommend the right tagging solution.
