Pannier Corporation

Pannier introduced the bar code metal tag in the 1980s as an alternative to less durable paper and plastic labels. Metal tags are made to withstand industrial processes in the steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, medical, and other industries.

Fully automated mark & track systems for metal producers ensure 100% reliable product tracking while creating efficient and safe working environments in the mill. Automatic tag printing and attaching systems apply identification tags to billets, blooms, slabs, or plates immediately after cutting.

Fully automated systems use a robot to weld tags onto hot metals
Designed to operate in hot, dirty mill environments
Provides reliable product identification to prevent inventory and shipping errors

This compact Class 1 desktop laser system is designed for marking metal tags, anodized aluminum plates, and foil labels.
