High Temperature Tags

EIM provides heat resistant High Temperature Tags designed for reliable identification and barcode readability from initial production to final storage.

In the demanding environments of steel mills, aluminum foundries, and metal fabrication shops, standard labels fail. Extreme heat, rough handling, and harsh industrial processes can destroy asset traceability, leading to costly downtime and safety risks. You need a solution engineered to last.

Superior Barcode Readability: Engineered for reliable barcode scanning throughout the entire manufacturing and storage process, reducing errors and improving data capture.  

Can these tags withstand continuous exposure to high temperatures?

Yes. Our tags are rated for continuous exposure up to 1112°F (600°C). This ensures reliable performance even in the most demanding steel and aluminum production workflows, including direct application to hot parts after casting.

What kind of information can be printed on these Tags?

Our tags are thermal transfer printable, allowing you to print a wide range of variable data on-demand. This includes high-resolution 1D and 2D barcodes, alphanumeric serial numbers, product information, and custom logos.

Do you sell high temperature labels with high heat resistance?

Yes! If adhesive labels are preferred over tags, our Metal Barcode Labels are a top adhesive label recommendation for short-term high temp exposure (up to 500°F). The ultra high temp durability of anodized aluminum labels makes them a fantastic choice for high heat scenarios where labels are your preferred solution. If even higher heat resistance is required, anodized aluminum tags with drilled holes can be mounted with rivets, providing high heat resistance up to 1100°F.
