MATERIAL OPTIONS
Aluminum, brass, or stainless — by environment.
Phenolic remains the standard for most panel and equipment tags. When a project calls for metal instead — typically for outdoor exposure, washdown environments, or a specific durability requirement — these are the three options and how they compare.
| Material | Best for | Durability | Typical thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Lightweight equipment tags, outdoor exposure, cost-conscious runs | Good corrosion resistance; anodized finish holds engraving well | 0.032″–0.063″ |
| Brass | Premium appearance, indoor equipment and control panels | Very durable; develops a natural patina over time unless lacquered | 0.032″–0.062″ |
| Stainless Steel | Harsh environments, washdown areas, long-term outdoor use | Best corrosion resistance of the three; highest cost tier | 0.024″–0.050″ |
SIZING & MOUNTING
Standard specifications by product.
| Product | Standard sizes | Mounting options | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phenolic Tags | 1″×3″ up to 4″×6″ standard; custom sizes available | Adhesive backing, screw holes, or rivet holes | Most economical option for indoor panel and equipment ID |
| Switch Plates | Sized to match existing device cutouts | Screw-mounted over existing device opening | Send the plate you’re replacing or its exact opening dimensions |
| Valve Tags | 1.5″–2.5″ diameter, round or tag-shaped | Mounting hole with wire, chain, or zip-tie loop | Sequential numbering per your facility’s system |
Project specifications: When a project specifies a particular marking format, material, or durability requirement, include it with your RFQ so we can confirm production compatibility before quoting.
Plan-set labels: When approved drawings specify engineering-grade reflective vinyl, we can produce the required wording and layout with a durable protective laminate. Include the relevant plan sheet or sign detail so we can confirm material, color, size, and installation surface.
