Ceramic Coated Stainless Steel Barcode Tags

  • Ceramic coating withstands temperatures up to 800°C–1,000°C
  • 304 or 316L stainless steel substrate for corrosion resistance
  • Laser-engraved or ceramic-ink barcodes immune to heat-induced fading
  • Non-flammable, non-outgassing ceramic surface coating
  • Mechanical attachment options: rivets, wires, eyelets, or adhesive backing

Ceramic Coated Stainless Steel Barcode Tags combine the structural integrity of austenitic stainless steel with an inorganic ceramic surface coating that provides an extreme-temperature barrier, protecting laser-marked or ceramic-ink-printed barcodes from thermal degradation.

The ceramic layer—typically applied by spray coating or chemical vapor deposition—bonds tightly to the metal substrate, resisting spallation through repeated heat-cool cycles. Unlike polymer-based labels, these tags produce no smoke or toxic off-gassing when exposed to furnace or foundry environments.

The barcode is either laser-engraved directly into the ceramic surface or printed with high-temperature ceramic inks and fired to ensure permanent adhesion. This results in a tag that retains full barcode contrast and machine readability even after prolonged exposure to radiant heat, scale buildup, and aggressive cleaning.

Ceramic Coated Stainless Steel Barcode Tags are the industry standard for asset tracking in heat treatment, forging, and foundry operations where plastic or paper identifiers are not viable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the tags be customized with specific barcode formats, sizes, and attachment methods?

Absolutely. VIZLENT customizes Ceramic Coated Stainless Steel Barcode Tags to your exact size, barcode symbology, human-readable text, and attachment configuration. Options include pre-punched holes for wire or rivet attachment, welded studs, and adhesive-backed versions for moderate-temperature applications. We work from your barcode data or can generate sequential codes per your specification.

How do these tags perform after repeated thermal cycling in furnace environments?

Our ceramic coating is formulated and tested to withstand repeated heat-cool cycles without cracking, spalling, or delaminating from the stainless steel base. Laser-engraved barcodes remain permanently embedded in the surface and retain full scan contrast after extensive thermal cycling, making these tags suitable for recurring heat treatment batches where tags must survive hundreds of furnace runs.

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time for bulk procurement?

Standard MOQ is 100 pieces for custom-engraved tags, with pricing improving substantially at 500+ pieces. Lead time is typically 10–20 business days following artwork approval and order confirmation. For high-volume or ongoing supply contracts, we offer blanket order arrangements to ensure consistent availability and priority production scheduling.

What is the maximum temperature these barcode tags can reliably withstand?

VIZLENT’s Ceramic Coated Stainless Steel Barcode Tags are rated for continuous service up to 800°C–1,000°C depending on the specific ceramic coating grade and stainless steel substrate selected. For applications exceeding 1,000°C, we can engineer custom solutions using higher-grade alloys and advanced ceramic formulations—contact our technical team to discuss your specific process temperatures.

Are these tags compatible with standard barcode scanners used on the factory floor?

Yes. The ceramic coating provides a high-contrast matte surface that is optimized for reflectance-based scanning with standard 1D laser scanners and 2D imager-based readers. VIZLENT validates barcode print quality to ISO/IEC 15416 and 15415 standards before shipment, ensuring reliable scans with equipment commonly used in manufacturing and logistics environments.
