Adhesive Equipment Metal Labels
An adhesive-backed metal label for housings that can’t take a drilled hole. Thin aluminum or stainless, no mechanical fixing.
Description
Some housings can’t take a drilled hole. That’s when an adhesive-backed metal label is the right route. Himgo builds these labels thin, on aluminum or stainless, so the bond holds evenly across the surface.
Where it fits
- Sealed enclosures that can’t be drilled
- Painted housings where a hole would break the finish
- Plastic-bodied equipment needing a metal ID look
- Curved surfaces where mechanical fixing is impractical
Common sizes
40x20mm, 60x30mm, and 30x30mm are the common footprints for this route. Thickness stays thin, down to 0.2mm, so the adhesive bond stays even across the label. Any size cuts to your drawing.
Materials & finishes
Aluminum or stainless forms the base, with thin 3M adhesive backing instead of mounting holes. Brushed or matte finish is standard. No mechanical fixing is used on this route, by design.
Typical applications
| Industry / setting | How this product is used |
|---|---|
| Control panel and enclosure builders | Label adhered to the painted enclosure face where drilling would breach the panel’s weather seal. |
| Consumer electronics housing makers | Plate bonded to the curved plastic or thin-gauge metal housing where rivets aren’t practical. |
| Test and measurement equipment makers | Label adhered inside the instrument’s battery or access cover carrying model data without piercing the case. |
| Vending cabinet manufacturers | Plate bonded to the cabinet’s finished exterior surface without marking or piercing it. |
| Medical cart and mobile equipment makers | Label adhered to the cart’s frame panel where the sheet metal is too thin to hold a rivet. |
