Applications › Identification & Branding
Tooling moves between shops and sits in racks for years; the plate is how anyone knows what it is. We print tool plates to your tool-room format, with part and tool numbers, revision, cavity count, customer, build date and a QR code that links to the tool's record, on aluminum or polycarbonate with holes for screws or a high-bond adhesive for a cleaned surface.
Typical examples
- Injection mold ID plates
- Stamping die and progressive die plates
- Fixture and gauge ID tags
- Customer-owned tooling plates with ownership statement
- Revision tracking plates with open fields
