Barcode Tags, QR Code Tags, RFID Tags, Sensor Tags Metalcraft, Inc. is a leading asset tracking label manufacturer dedicated to eliminating program failure before it happens. We understand a simple truth: if the tag fails, the system fails. That’s why Metalcraft engineers every label to perform reliably in real-world manufacturing and logistics environments—ensuring your asset tracking system delivers the accuracy, visibility, security, and efficiency you depend on. Our approach is built around a consultative, pre-delivery due diligence process that sets us apart. Every project begins with in-depth discovery focused on your exact application, environment, and operational goals. We analyze your asset tracking requirements and diagnose potential failure points—such as environmental exposure, surface materials, data requirements, workflow integration, and system compatibility—so we can design around them before they impact performance. Metalcraft uses a technology-agnostic methodology to ensure the right-fit tracking technology for your application. Whether your solution requires barcode, RFID, or another identification method, we design a label specifically engineered to meet your operational demands. We don’t push a single technology—we determine what works best for your environment and objectives. Before full-scale production, we validate performance through real-world testing. We provide a demo set of labels so you can put both our label and your internal processes through their paces. This pre-delivery validation ensures durability, adhesion, readability, and data integrity under actual use conditions. By identifying and resolving issues upfront, we eliminate costly surprises and reduce the risk of system disruption. Once validated, Metalcraft delivers at scale—on time and with consistency. Our manufacturing processes prioritize quality control, data accuracy, and tag resilience. The result is a label you can trust to perform throughout its lifecycle, even in demanding industrial settings. Manufacturing and logistics operations depend on reliable asset identification to maintain workflow efficiency, regulatory compliance, inventory accuracy, and operational visibility. Metalcraft labels are engineered to support these critical functions without compromise. We recognize that a tracking system is only as strong as its weakest component. That’s why our focus remains unwavering: design it right the first time. With Metalcraft, you gain more than a label supplier—you gain a partner committed to preventing failure before it occurs. Our due diligence process, engineering expertise, and commitment to performance ensure that when your tracking system goes live, it works exactly as intended. Metalcraft tags don’t fail—so your system doesn’t either. | Metalcraft, Inc. manufactures durable asset tracking labels for the packaging industry—especially reusable containers, totes, trays, pallets, and returnable transport items (RTIs). We offer both RFID and barcode technologies, and we design with one core reality in mind: if the tag fails, the system fails. That’s why we start with a consultative, pre-delivery due diligence process—learning your wash cycles, handling abuse, chemicals, temperatures, surfaces, and scan/read requirements—then engineering around the failure points that typically cause tracking programs to break down. We provide test labels to prove performance in your real-world operation and workflows before scaling production. Once validated, we deliver labels at scale, on time, with the data integrity and rugged resilience you can trust—so your reusable-container tracking stays accurate, dependable, and built to last. | Metalcraft has provided customized property identification solutions including barcode and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies since 1950. We create high-impact identification and tracking solutions specifically targeted to each customer’s unique application needs by intensely listening, learning, and creating that ideal solution together. Pairing our “sense of urgency service” with our deep, technical and product expertise, we partner with our customers, developing better and move innovative, customized ID solutions that deliver long-term success. Frankly, Metalcraft is ID Made Better®.*****Asset management is vital to the packaging industry. That’s because keeping track of inventory and sending products to the right locations is the core of what this industry is all about. In addition to being able to better manage one-off inventories of consumer goods, what’s more important is the reusable nature of asset management technologies for pallets and barrels. These items may be used for multiple years to ship products back and forth.Whether your asset is sitting in a storage facility or actively in transit, it has to be properly tagged so that you can keep track of it. Large shipping containers, pallets and individual packages can all use asset tags so that your inventory management is not compromised by harsh handling conditions.Durable and reusable RFID tags offer great benefits here, as well. RFID tags are often built to withstand years of use, even in hot and dirty delivery environments. Automating the QA process on load verification also helps to minimize missed deliveries to stores, which is a problem that costs distribution companies $25-30 million per year nationwide. | Metalcraft specializes in manufacturing custom barcode labels and RFID tags for a wide range of industries, including supply chain and logistics. With over 75 years of experience, we’ve helped thousands of customers tackle identification challenges, producing hundreds of millions of durable and reusable labels and tags. Our expertise makes us the go-to provider for the returnable packaging industry.
