Stainless Steel Engraved Labels
A stainless steel label with engraved text, chosen where corrosion resistance matters more than weight.
Description
Stainless steel resists staining and corrosion better than aluminum in wash-down or outdoor settings. That’s the reason to pick this base over a lighter metal, which can pit or discolor faster in the same conditions.
Metals & surface options
304 and 316 grades cover most projects, with 316 suited to harsher chemical or marine exposure. Brushed and natural finishes are common; a mirror finish is available for a brand-facing plate. Both grades take the same laser or etched marking used across the label range.
Typical projects
This stainless base fits environments where a lighter metal degrades faster:
- Outdoor equipment and exposed machinery
- Wash-down areas and food or chemical processing
- Marine and coastal installations
- Warning and spec labels needing long service life
