Aluminum Label
Aluminum may be used to create labels, tags, panels, signs, and more, in contrast to some other materials. Due to its toughness and resilience to a variety of usual pollutants and damage-causing factors, it has become a popular substrate material for metal labels. Our aluminum labels are utilized in a variety of applications across a wide range of industries.
Our dependable goods, particularly our variable data custom aluminum labels, are trusted by heavy equipment manufacturers, the aerospace, medical, military, and telecommunications industries.
A pen or pencil can be used to emboss aluminum labels. A permanent, pressure-sensitive adhesive and satin finish are both features embossable aluminum tags. Although ink cannot be permanently affixed to this substance, embossed images can.
Aluminum label blanks are available to be prepared for use with special laser marking techniques. These label blanks offer good resistance to sand and other abrasive causes of wear. They can also be used outdoors.
Our aluminum labels can withstand temperatures up to 650°F. These labels go through an additional procedure that increases their ability to withstand temperatures up to 1200°F, making them appropriate for use in industrial high-heat environments.
KDM aluminum labels are made using an aluminum substrate and can have a Teflon coating. Paint and other substances that might be extremely acidic or toxic are given additional resistance by this non-reactive PTFE layer.
Assets that are regularly relocated and spend a lot of time outside are frequently tracked using these hard labels. Our metalphoto aluminum labels are popular among businesses, aerospace, and military establishment as a long-term asset labelling option.
Our aluminum labels are designed to survive saltwater spray, dirt, water, oil, cleaners, and many other corrosive substances, such as those used on medical equipment that is regularly cleansed with potent disinfectants or labels exposed to cleaners in a carwash.

Advantages of KDM Aluminum Labels
KDM labels made of aluminum are made to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. The impacts of UV, salt spray, high temperatures, cleaning agents, chemicals, and abrasives are taken into account when we make our custom aluminum labels. Aluminum labels are lightweight and practical, and unlike certain materials, they won’t fracture, chip, or peel off over time. Overall, the advantages of aluminum labels are:
- Durability
- High image resolution
- Excellent resistance to corrosion
- Thinness
- Sturdiness
Customizing Aluminum Labels
We can create custom aluminum labels to your specifications by die cutting, laser cutting, or machining them with our CNC equipment.
The design you desire on your personalized aluminum labels can be made in any shape, including a circle, square, oval, or other special shape. Even rivet holes and other custom cutouts are possible. For special requirements that fall outside of the parameters of the conventional standards, we can supply custom sizes and substrate thicknesses.
Naturally, you can give us your barcode, logo, and data information to apply to the aluminum labels as well. You can also select the finish, the colour the attachment method (physical or adhesive).
Common Applications for Aluminum Labels
- Security Labels
- Warning/Hazard Labels

Aluminum Label Fabrication
At KDM, we will help you design and prototype your aluminum labels customized for your application. We will cut aluminum sheets to the size and shape that you request, and proceed to apply your design using your selected method. All our machinery has great capabilities and our employees have all the right expertise. After applying the design, you can choose a finish and surface treatment like anodizing.
Printing Options for Your Aluminum Labels
Many metal label manufacturers use this approach most frequently. Screen printing may be the best option if you want the brightest colours and a generally straightforward design. However, a screen-printed design is more susceptible to peeling off than other options.
The industry views this as a specialty application principally because to the need for specially prepared and printed aluminum plates for the substrate. The most popular uses are logos, building signage, personalized license plates, and vibrant, long-lasting displays.
Photo developing captures subtle details and gradients. The anodized aluminum labels’ material is extremely resistant to abrasion, UV rays, chemicals, salinity, heat, cold, and other elements since the photosensitive image is trapped inside of an anodic layer.
Using a chemical-resistant stencil, we can etch your design into the aluminum label. A chemical substance will eat away at exposed metal, leaving your design untouched. Etching is great for mass production and quick turnaround.
In laser engraving, the top layer of aluminum labels is removed using a precise, computer-guided laser. Standard brushed aluminum is just one of the many options available for the anodized aluminum labels. Our advanced equipment is always up to the challenge.
We can use our cutting-edge CNC machine to engrave your design. Engraving is the most durable choice available. Our CNC machine employs small, high-speed bits that are especially made to mill and drill the design into the aluminum metal label.
We can prepare special dies to emboss or stamp your design into your aluminum label. This is an inclusive and durable option—no matter how much time passes, the text will always be readable. You can choose from recessed and raised design options.
