Thin Adhesive Metal Labels
A thin-gauge metal label with a low raised edge, built to sit flush on tight or curved housings. Adhesive-only mounting keeps the surface intact.
Description
How thin does a metal label need to be to lie flat on a curved housing? This line runs 0.2mm and up, so the edge barely lifts off the surface. It mounts with adhesive, not screws, keeping the housing intact. That thin gauge is often the deciding factor for buyers with tight clearance.
Where it fits
Buyers reach for this thin format on:
- Rounded enclosures and slim equipment panels
- Appliance housings with limited clearance
- Product branding where a low profile matters
- Surfaces already painted or coated
Common sizes
Typical formats are 30x30mm and 40x20mm, cut from 0.2-1mm stock. Larger panels up to 80x25mm are also run. Any size can be cut to your drawing.
Materials & finishes
Aluminum and nickel are common choices for this thin format, with a brushed or mirror finish. Etching or printing adds the text or logo without adding thickness. A brushed finish also hides fine handling marks better than a mirror surface.
Typical applications
| Industry / setting | How this product is used |
|---|---|
| Smartphone and tablet accessory manufacturing | Ultra-thin label applied inside battery compartments or back covers where clearance is minimal |
| Medical device housings | Thin adhesive label applied to compact diagnostic device casings without adding bulk under the enclosure lid |
| Wearable device production | Thin metal tag applied to strap buckles and clasps to carry the brand mark |
| Eyewear and optical hardware | Thin label applied inside eyeglass temple arms or case hinge areas where space is tight |
| Small electronics enclosures | Thin label applied to circuit board enclosure interiors for model and compliance data without raising lid clearance |
