Material & Process

Expediter™ Photo Anodized Aluminum UID labels are made of Metalphoto® anodized aluminum material. The durability of Metalphoto® comes from its exceptional process:

  1. A black image is photographically reproduced on the matte aluminum surface.
  2. The image is embedded within a sapphire hard anodized layer.
  3. An additional intensification process further increases resistance to heat & UV rays.

Citing superior resistance to abrasion, heat & sunlight, the National Association of Graphic and Product Identification Manufacturers, Inc. (GPI) selects Metalphoto® as the most durable aluminum substrate.

Metalphoto® meets the most stringent MIL-STD's, including MIL-DTL-15024 Type G & H and MIL-P-19834. For more than 40 years, the US military has specified Metalphoto® for data plates & panels. It has been used on military vehicles & tanks, surface ships & submarines, Apollo landing craft & Space Shuttle Columbia. Metalphoto® is a trademark of Horizons, Inc.
