ENGRAVED LAMICOIDS & TAGS
Ensure a Safe and Compliant Installation
What are Lamicoids?
Lamicoids (or Lamacoids ) by definition is a trade name for 2 or 3-ply plastic engraving material, formerly known as rigid phenolic engraving material. They are also referred to as Nameplates, legend plates, plastic tags, valve markers, name badges & lamacoid labels. Lamicoids are available in a variety of colours.
Industrial lamacoid tags are suitable for both indoor & outdoor applications. Most commonly used as identification tags for machine panels, electrical panels, industrial machinery as well as caution or warning signs. They can also be used as Push Button Labels, Valve Tags, Control Panel Markings, Solar SLD Diagrams, Electrical Labels, and Asset Tags.
A World of Possibilities
We offer a number of various materials and options to suit your unique applications and environment.
All of our tags are available with holes or double sided tape at no extra charge!
Plastic Engraved Lamicoids
Plastic lamicoids are made from laminated plastic sheets. The laminate is typically a multi-layered material, where the top layer is a thin colored film, and the bottom layer is a contrasting color. During the engraving process, the top layer is removed to reveal the underlying layer, creating legible and precise markings. This two-tone effect is what gives lamicoids their distinctive and easily readable appearance.
Laser Engraved Lamicoids
Laser engraved plastic lamacoid tags are the industry standard for many labeling projects, these tough 2 or 3 ply plastic tags come in a wide variety of colours.
Using our state of the art laser engravers, we are able to engrave text, logos, icons and any other design element directly into the plastic to provide you with a long-lasting high contrast marking.
Our laser engraved lamacoids can be cut to any shape needed.
Anodized Aluminum Lamicoids
We offer laser engraved anodized aluminum tags, these labels are available in 3 colours Red, Black & Blue. When we laser etch the material, a permanent contrasting mark is left behind that is extremely durable, even under extreme conditions.
Anodized aluminum tags are perfect for indoor & outdoor applications, we offer our Anodized aluminum labels with your choice of holes or adhesive tape for mounting.
Stainless Steel Lamicoids
When you need the most durable label possible, look no further than our stainless steel tags. We etch a permanent black mark onto stainless steel using our state-of-the-art laser engraving equipment, this leaves you with a tag that is completely impervious to the elements and harsh conditions.
We stock multiple sizes of stainless steel tags for quick turnaround, however we can custom cut tags to your exact specs as well.
Stainless Steel tags are available with holes (round or slotted) or adhesive tape for mounting.
Specialty Lamicoids
No project is the same which is why we provide specialty services to suit your needs. When a specialty solution is required, we have the answers.
Reverse engraved lamacoids. Text is engraved from the backside of the material the filled with paint leaving the face unmarked and consistently smooth to the touch. There are to ridges for contaminants or dirt to get into.
SLD Diagram Lamicoids offer a solution to suit single line diagrams and situations where navigation of how everything is wired together is required.
Push button tags. Surrounds a switch in industrial settings.
Metal Tags
Watsons uses state-of-the-art fiber laser engravers to produce markings that allow for an extremely high level of detail including barcodes, QR codes, text down to 3 pt size and diagrams. Along with being extremely accurate, fiber lasers are extremely fast, which allows us to turn orders for engraved metal tags around quickly.
During the production of metal lamacoids, stainless steel is marked by a process called annealing, which uses the controlled heat of a fiber laser to create an oxide layer below the surface of the stainless steel. This results in a smooth permanent black mark that will never wear away, rust or degrade.
When it comes to aluminum, we can use our fiber laser to either remove the anodized top coat to create a permanent and highly legible mark, or we can engrave into the surface of the aluminum and fill the etching with paint.
We supply metal tags to some of the most demanding industries including Military, Oil & Gas, Mining and others.
