Home » Custom Metal Labels » Adhesive Metal Labels

Adhesive metal labels let you attach a permanent metal mark without drilling a hole. Himgo backs thin aluminum, stainless, brass, and copper labels with 3M adhesive so they stick to curved housings, painted panels, and plastic parts where screws would crack the surface or spoil the finish. Buyers use them for branding, spec labels, and equipment tags on parts too thin or too finished to drill.

  • Mounting: thin 3M adhesive, no drilling
  • Thickness: 0.2–1 mm, thinner gauges bond flattest
  • Sizes: 40×20 mm, 60×30 mm, 80×25 mm, 30×30 mm, or custom
  • MOQ: usually 100–500 pcs
  • Sample lead: usually 5–7 days

Materials & finishes

Option Choices
Material Aluminum, 304/316 stainless, nickel, brass, copper
Thickness 0.2–1 mm, thinner gauges favored for flat adhesive contact
Size 40×20 mm, 60×30 mm, 80×25 mm, 30×30 mm, custom to your drawing
Finish Brushed, anodized, printed color, matte
Marking/Process Etching, screen/UV printing, brushing, laser
Mounting Thin 3M adhesive, holes available as a mechanical backup

Aluminum and brass in thinner gauges sit flattest against curved or textured surfaces, which keeps the adhesive bond even. Stainless is worth the extra weight where the surface gets wiped down with solvents.

Typical buyers & uses

  • Appliance and electronics makers — branding logo labels onto painted or plastic housings without visible screws.
  • Furniture and cabinetry shops — attaching a maker's mark to finished wood or laminate surfaces.
  • Product manufacturers — adding spec or rating labels to curved plastic enclosures.
  • Contract assemblers — adding equipment tags to thin sheet-metal parts that cannot take a drilled hole.

FAQ

Will the 3M adhesive hold on curved or textured surfaces?

Yes on smooth to moderately textured curves. Sharp creases or rough powder coat usually need a flatter label or added holes.

Does adhesive mounting work outdoors?

It handles typical outdoor exposure. For constant UV, heat, or wash-down we usually suggest a thicker gauge or holes as backup.

Can one label carry a logo, model number, and warning text together?

Yes, layouts combine brand, model, and marking in a single printed or etched design.

What is the difference between adhesive and engraved metal labels?

Adhesive is about how the label mounts. Engraved metal labels are about how the mark itself is cut into the metal.

Do adhesive labels ever need holes too?

Some buyers add holes as a mechanical backup on high-vibration equipment. We can supply both on the same label.
