Poly Tags for Hot Steel Rebar

A steel manufacturer needed to find a suitable bar code tracking tag that could survive initial high temperatures, months of outdoor storage, and remain intact as a shipping tag. Pannier PXL500 tags met all their requirements. Tags are attached to bundles of steel rebar at the time of manufacture when they are still 500-600°F. PXL500 tags withstand these temperatures for short periods without melting or cracking during cooling.

Bundles can be shipped directly to the customer or remain in outdoor inventory until needed. The tags survive many months of UV exposure and varying winter and summer temperatures and remain intact as the shipping tag. The manufacturer never loses vital information such as the heat and lot information they need for tracking their steel until it reaches their customers.
