Producers and processors of Steel and Metal face many different challenges in identifying their products. Quite often the ability to identify a product at its earliest stage in a process can have a very positive impact on reducing waste, improving complications with quality and product mix, either on-site or with your end user.
At Dura-ID Solutions we provide a range of products to a global market based on our innovative approach to problem solving. Our history dates back over 80 years when we started working with the steel mills within the heart of the UK’s steel city – Sheffield. Labels and tags for rough-cut or oily product as well as finished products can be overprinted with barcodes, batch information, logos and variable data; in-house at your site.
If you currently have headaches with traceability of product or scrappage of goods due to lack of identification, then please contact us here.
