Strong, corrosion resistant, and heat resistant stainless steel applications by Drake are designed and manufactured to withstand exposure to chemicals, fuels, grime, and extreme weather while maintaining functionality and legibility of information.

A bonded ceramic overcoating is also available for stainless steel barcode tags, as seen to the right. Outdoor life for these ceramic coated stainless steel tags is estimated to be in excess of one hundred years. These tags make an excellent choice for off-shore oil platforms as they can resist temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and exposure to salt spray without corroding.

Anodized aluminum is well-suited for permanent product marking in rugged and high use environments. Drake anodized aluminum product marking solutions are designed to endure the effects of sunlight, high temperatures, cleaning solvents, salt and abrasives. Drake anodized aluminum tags and labels are available in thickness from .003″ to .032″ and can be printed and die cut to customer design. Multiple color printing is available. Attachment to the product can be adhesive or rivet. Drake anodized aluminum product marking solutions can be found in industries such as aerospace/NASA, avionics, consumer electronics, government, industrial/manufacturing, military, oceanic/nautical and oil/gas.

Lexan®/Polycarbonate material, known for its durability and professional appearance, is widely used for product marking applications on Labels, Control Panels, Nameplates, Overlays, Membrane Switches, Serial Tags and Prototypes. Lexan® Labels from Drake are designed to maintain appearance, longevity, legibility and functionality of information under tough conditions. Drake Lexan® applications are available in thicknesses of .005″ to .030″ and can be printed and die cut to customer design, including PMS color matching. Variable Sata such as Serial and Barcode information is easily supported, as are a variety of adhesive options. Drake Lexan® product marking solutions can be found in industries such as aerospace/NASA, avionics, consumer electronics, government, industrial/manufacturing, military, oceanic/nautical and oil/gas.

Mylar®/Polyester Labels maintain a professional glossy or matte appearance in harsh environments including heat, sunlight, constant moisture/humidity, impacts and/or UV exposure. Mylar®/Polyester labels are most commonly used for product marking applications on computers and consumer electronics. Mylar®/Polyester Labels, Decals and Tags from Drake are designed to maintain their appearance, legibility and functionality of information through a variety of conditions. Drake Mylar®/Polyester applications are available in thicknesses of .002″ to .080″ and can be printed and cut to customer design, including PMS color matching*. Variable Data such as serial and barcode information is easily supported, as are “Write On Surface” options. Drake Mylar®/Polyester product marking solutions can be found in industries such as aerospace/NASA, avionics, consumer electronics, government, industrial/manufacturing, military, oceanic/nautical and oil/gas.

Vinyl labels from Drake provide good longevity in appearance and function and are most commonly used for indoor applications, product branding, instructional labels and warning labels. Their water resistance makes them ideal for moisture rich and wet environments as well as environments that are exposed to large amounts of sunlight. Drake vinyl label applications are available in thicknesses of .005″ to .030″ and .010″ to .060″ and can be printed and die cut to customer design, including PMS matching. Drake vinyl marking solutions can be found in industries such as aerospace/NASA, avionics, consumer electronics, government, industrial/manufacturing, military, oceanic/nautical and oil/gas.

Whether you’re looking for a cost effective alternative to durable labelling or a disposable, one-time use label, paper labels are created to be visually appealing without costing an arm and a leg. They can be offered both with and without a pressure sensitive adhesive backing. Handouts, box labels, packaging, stickers, and documentation labels are great situations for using paper. High quantity runs for paper parts that can be supplied on rolls or individually cut are fast and easy with Drake!
