Metallic Labels Engraved 4 Color Printed New Logo No MOQ
Metallic labels are custom metal plates cut from aluminium or stainless steel, laser marked or engraved with a logo, serial number or barcode and fixed by holes or self-adhesive backing. Thickness, shape, outline and dimension are all customised, including irregular outlines, and the edges are smoothed after cutting. Because the marking is engraved into the metal rather than printed on top, it survives handling and cleaning that would remove a printed label. Typical uses run from mobile phones, computers and household appliances through gift box packaging, luggage, leather goods, billboards and indicator signs.
What This Product Gives You
- Laser engraving cuts into the metal so the marking cannot be scratched or solvent-wiped off the plate
- Customised serial numbers and barcodes let each plate identify one unit for traceability
- Aluminium and stainless steel give two very different corrosion and cost positions from one supplier
- Irregular outlines are available, so the plate follows a product feature instead of forcing a rectangle
- Fixing by holes or self-adhesive covers both a bolted machine plate and a decorative badge on a gift box
- Embossing and debossing add a tactile raised or recessed effect that a printed label cannot reproduce
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It
Application Scenarios
- Identification plates on household appliances and electronic products
- Brand badges on luggage and leather goods
- Decorative logo plates on gift box packaging
- Indicator signs and billboard nameplates
- Serial numbered asset plates on equipment
- Logo labels on mobile phones and computers
Who It Is For
- Electronics and appliance manufacturers specifying nameplates
- Luggage and leather goods brands adding metal badges
- Packaging designers using metal plates on gift boxes
- Sign makers producing indicator and nameplate signage
- Procurement engineers sourcing serial numbered identification plates
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Printed identification labels wear off machines and housings that are cleaned regularly
- Adhesive-only plates fall off in service where a bolted fixing was needed
- A stamped plate without engraved numbering cannot be tied back to a single unit
- Sharp edges left after cutting make a decorative plate unpleasant to handle
- Aluminium corrodes in environments where stainless steel would have been the right specification
Technical Features
- Aluminium and stainless steel plate material
- Laser cutting of the outline with edge smoothing
- Laser marking and engraving for logos, serial numbers and barcodes
- Embossing and debossing for raised or recessed detail
- Pantone Matching System and CMYK full colour printing on the plate
- Fixing by mounting holes or self-adhesive backing

Materials and Manufacturing Process
Materials
- Aluminium
- Stainless steel
Manufacturing Process
- Artwork preparation
- Laser cutting the metal
- Cleaning to remove oils and contaminants
- Laser marking and engraving
- Embossing or debossing
- Edge smoothing
- Colour printing where specified
- Manual inspection
- Packing
How This Job Is Checked
- Drawings are checked against the stated 3mm tolerance before cutting begins
- The metal surface is cleaned of oils and contaminants before marking
- Engraving depth and legibility are checked on the first pieces off the machine
- Edges are inspected after smoothing so no burr reaches the customer
- Photographs of the finished plates are sent for approval before shipment
What You Can Change
- Aluminium or stainless steel selected against the service environment
- Thickness customised anywhere between 0.1mm and 3mm
- Irregular outlines cut to your drawing
- Customised serial numbers and barcodes per plate
- Embossed or debossed relief detail
- Fixing by holes or self-adhesive backing
Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Printed adhesive labels | Engraved metal survives cleaning and abrasion indefinitely, while a printed label is far cheaper and lighter for short-life packaging |
| Stainless steel plates | Stainless resists corrosion best for harsh environments, though aluminium is lighter and cheaper for indoor decorative plates |
| Injection moulded plastic badges | Metal gives a weight and finish plastic cannot, but moulding is cheaper once volumes are very high |
Getting the Best Result
- Send the outline as a vector drawing with the die or cut line on a separate layer
- State thickness explicitly between 0.1mm and 3mm rather than leaving it to be assumed
- Allow for the 3mm tolerance when the plate has to fit into a recess
- Choose mounting holes where vibration or heat would eventually defeat an adhesive fixing
- Supply serial number ranges as a list with the start value and increment stated
- Specify stainless steel where the plate will be outdoors or exposed to chemicals

Metallic Labels Engraved 4 Color Printed New Logo No MOQ FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
500 pcs for a custom design. Thickness, outline and marking are all set to your drawing at that quantity.
What tolerance do you hold?
The stated tolerance is 3mm. Allow for it when the plate has to sit in a machined recess.
What thickness can you supply?
Thickness is customised, with plates produced across a 0.1mm to 3mm range.
Can each plate carry a different serial number?
Yes. Serial numbers and barcodes are customised and laser engraved, so every plate can be unique.
Aluminium or stainless steel, which should I choose?
Stainless where corrosion resistance matters most, aluminium where weight and cost lead the decision.
How are the plates fixed to the product?
Either mounting holes or a self-adhesive backing. Holes are the better choice where vibration or heat is involved.
Can colour be added to the plate?
Yes, in Pantone Matching System or CMYK full colour, alongside the laser engraved detail.
