How Metal Tags Are Manufactured

01. Design & Custom Specification

Every project begins with your vision. Whether you provide your own artwork or need design support, our team helps finalize:

  • Material type (aluminum, stainless steel, brass)
  • Shape and size
  • Mounting method (holes, adhesive, rivets)
  • Finish (brushed, polished, matte)
  • Logo, serial numbers, barcodes or QR codes

This initial phase ensures custom tag manufacturing aligns with your brand and technical requirements.

02. Material Selection & Preparation

Once the design is confirmed, we source raw metals based on durability, corrosion resistance, and usage environment. Metals are cut into sheets or blanks using:

  • Laser cutting for high-precision designs
  • CNC stamping for bulk uniformity

Surface treatments such as anodizing or electroplating may be applied at this stage for added resistance and aesthetic appeal.

03. Engraving, Etching, or Printing

UCtag offers a variety of marking methods, depending on the use case:

  • Laser Engraving: Deep, permanent markings ideal for industrial use
  • Chemical Etching: Clean, detailed marks perfect for branding
  • UV Printing or Silk-Screening: For colorful designs or logos

Serial numbers, product IDs, and logos are applied with precision using automated processes, ensuring consistent, high-quality output across batches.

04. Finishing & Protective Coating

After marking, tags undergo deburring and polishing to remove sharp edges and enhance appearance. We then apply:

  • Clear epoxy domes for UV protection
  • Lamination to shield printed surfaces
  • Heat-sealing or clear coating for enhanced wear resistance

This guarantees longevity even in harsh environments like factories or marine applications.

05. Quality Inspection & Packaging

Each batch undergoes strict quality control, including:

  • Visual inspections
  • Adhesion and corrosion resistance tests
  • Barcode readability (if applicable)

Tags are then individually or batch packaged, depending on your delivery format, and shipped securely to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.
